Jaume Gallés Pont 04/04/2022

Fantastic experience: Cozy atmosphere, pleasant treatment, privileged place on the beach of the village and the food as the best climax. Grilled meat, fish and vegetables, absolutely recommended. It is one of the places where cooking points are scrupulously respected: little done is little done, to the point is to the point ... you notice that on the grills there is someone who knows what he is playing. It is also one of the places where they appreciate good bread. And all at a very fair price. We will repeat when we return to L'Escala !!

Fantastic experience: Excellent place. Each dish was amazing. The service was very efficient, outside a storm was falling and they reacted very well, they placed customers outside to the inside and picked up all very fast. At the same time the food continued to be served, fast and the most important delicious. The boss attended us he was very kind and treated us very well. We’ll come back fore sure.

Fantastic experience: Good food at reasonable prices in the area. You need to have a bit of patience if it is high time. The best days to book a table, as there is a queue. The quality of the food deserves a visit. They have done a remodeling of the premises and have gained a lot of their appearance. Stick to the bass.

Jordi Rebolleda Calendario 09/06/2021

Fantastic experience: It's been a year since we stayed, we said that we would return, this week we have returned !, and we will return until the body endures. The BEST Hotel in l’Escala by far, yes, it has only 6 rooms (therefore, book early), all impeccable and with views of the town's beach. Again, we have not been disappointed, on the contrary, it has motivated us to return MANY more times. It is a Hotel-Restaurant with "charm", with a looooong charm !. Those who manage this Hotel-Restaurant (the masters after the banks), Mariona and Matthew, continue on the site, friendly, sympathetic / empathetic and professional to the maximum. Thank you very much for everything to both of you. On the ground floor is the restaurant, which is managed by the same people. They have a pearl named Mariana who is the waitress (nice and professional despite her youth), and a cook, named Simari (or, although it sounds bad, Franco for friends). Together they make you feel comfortable and eat sooooo well. It's funny that in such a coastal place they make such impressively good steaks. In fact, they do everything well (or almost), and I mean it. Today, before leaving for Barcelona, ​​I have eaten snails (a la llauna) and grilled octopus. For these two things I am a bit special and demanding, and ... honestly, like the ribeye, EXCELLENT !!! I suppose that, like everyone else, they have some fault, but at the moment I still haven't found it… ..well, yes, I don't like being charged for the hotel and food. If it weren't for this, it would be perfect! Oh, thank you for inviting us to coffees and shots today. WE WILL BE BACK!!!!!!!! Jordi and Anna.

Xavier v100 04/05/2021

Fantastic experience: The hotel of 6 rooms completely refurbished and of level of 4 *, is charming central and in addition it has an incredible terrace. To all this we must add the impeccable, familiar and welcoming treatment. The restaurant does not have great pretensions, but the cuisine it offers is fifth and very correct, as well as the quality of the products. However the treatment is impeccable. In short 5 * totally recommended. Keep it up.
