A very welcoming and warm staff in a very characteristic setting, the restaurant is located in a somewhat hidden alley. We shared an excellent paella with black rice and at the end of the meal a local digestive with very sweet herbs. We will definitely go back and if you are in Cadaques I highly recommend going there :)

Undoubtedly a brutal experience, my partner and a great friend were there yesterday, because he had already recommended it to me, I give it 5 stars because it was a very beautiful evening, in short I ask myself for Entrecote with really exquisite vegetables, the meat totally tender and fat-free, and my partner and great friend asked for Suquet and it was wonderful that taste and touch and on the part of the host he took great care of us. I totally RECOMMEND it !! We will return for the Fidewua jjjj

An exquisite attention, as well as the quality of the dishes. We ordered a salad, some spicy clams (off the menu) and a fresh sea bream that was spectacular (the garnish was grilled vegetables, and they gave us a little more when they said we would share it). I recommend it, and we will be back!

Super special attention! We have eaten the Paella with black rice, it is something that you have to try in life, fresh and with a spectacular flavor! The ceviche is a dream, although spicy but it is worth trying. Desserts don't even say ! We recommend them 100% better to go with your service !!

We went to this restaurant mainly due to the good comments we had read on google and we were not disappointed at all. We ordered a black rice and the truth is that it is one of the best I have ever eaten. great.

Fantastic experience: Lovely restaurant - real fresh and good food with an excellent service. We absolutely enjoyed the dinner and will repeat this joyful experience. - Next time we will directly park at the public parking and walk the last meters through that lovely town.
Fantastic experience:
Local located between the streets of Cadaqués. The interior has a lot of charm, 7 friends went with a reservation, they attended us in a spectacular way, both the waiter and the owner, who did at all times because we enjoyed the food. It is important to highlight the passionate way in which the dishes were explained to you, which is difficult to see today in a restaurant. The 5-star food without any doubt, we ordered both fish and meat (monkfish, sea bass, sirloin), in addition to the ceviche and scallops (with a lot of flavor). He recommended the sirloin with foie and fig, and I haven't eaten such tender and flavorful meat in a long time. To repeat without any doubt, at a price of 40E per head

Fantastic experience:
Restaurant in the center of Cadaqués with terrace. Reservation essential. Simple cuisine with dinner products, very well prepared. Everything we tried tasted great. Cellar perhaps a little scarce. Lovely staff. Moderate prices. Very highly recommended.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience: We walked by this restaurant while walking along the streets and made a reservation an hour beforehand. We ordered ceviche, which was part of the daily menu, and enjoyed it very much. The seafood paella for the main dish was excellent - one of the best we’ve tasted. The service was great and the waiter was very friendly. We would come back on another trip to Cadaqués.
Fantastic experience:
Small and very cozy seafood restaurant, close and friendly treatment. The delicious food, the ceviche, the anchovies and the spectacular paella! They made us feel like home!

Fantastic experience:
Small cozy restaurant, from the moment we called to reserve the treatment has been spectacular. As soon as we entered, they attended us immediately, they recommended a first course and the paella, which is incredible. And the different wines. I recommend 100% and we will repeat.
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
Overall, it was okay. Simple but generous and rich salad. Generous paella and, without the best I have ever tasted, very good and full of shells and clams to stop a train (see photo). Very good sangria.
The place is small and we were all quite tight, to the point of having to share a table with other people. Which does not seem very normal to me in a restaurant of about 40€ covered.
I didn't like that the waiter (and owner, I think) didn't wear a mask. Even if it were allowed, I consider it a serious irresponsibility on the part of a professional who is taking care of people all day long.

Fantastic experience:
Don't hesitate to go 2 minutes away from the seaside and its tourist restaurants to get to La Sirena. The welcome is courteous, the service efficient, the owner friendly, the dishes and wines excellent. The mixed paella delighted us! Ps: the 80's playlist will have you dancing on your chair throughout the meal

Excellent treatment, excellent food, excellent endearing corner. I recommend it to you!!!!

Fantastic experience: Amazing paella negra!!!! We had a bad paella the day before in cadaques so we came to La Sirena to make up for it and WOW. So good, huge portion, super tasty. The owner was also so kind and accommodating, he was so pleased we enjoyed it and told us to come back next time we are in town, which we definitely will do! Highly recommend.
Positive experience:
The food is not bad, although the seafood croquettes did not taste at all like seafood, the service was good, when we booked we were not warned that the menu is only served on the first floor and not reserved. On the second floor you can only order from the menu. They told us about it as if we had to know. I think they should let you know when you make a reservation. We were caught already seated upstairs and had no choice but to order from the menu.

Fantastic experience:
We celebrated our 33rd anniversary and the very good food, and the excellent service, we would share without hesitation.

Fantastic experience:
Not cheap but given the quality of the food and the products, nothing to say! It tastes good, the cooking of the fish and the meat was perfect and the dishes are plentiful. Very friendly welcome, an excellent address.
Translated from French
Fantastic experience: Best paella ever had!! Waiter was nice, atmosphere was best and can’t wait to go back
Positive experience:
Most of the time we had always been located on the terrace or on the first floor, but this time we were located on the top floor and I was really surprised since it is very different, more formal and with a more classic and sober decoration as well as the cutlery and crockery. While taking the order we were given an exquisite pate accompanied by small toasts of bread, the restaurant staff takes more time to listen to their customers and the service is very good. The price of the dishes is something else (more expensive) at an average of 20€ and the wine list has nothing to do (they are very good wines) since the menu is different, the bathrooms are clean and pleasant to use.

Positive experience:
I have been there many times in my youth, when I was in another place, near Sol, every time I go to Madrid I go back. Fast and professional service. This time I went for dinner with my wife and we were on the top floor and we were served by an excellent waiter, José (I imagine Pepe for those close to him) showing his professionalism after more than forty years serving. Good quality and presentation of the dishes, although we missed half portions as some of them were overpriced.

Fantastic experience:
This site is amazing, we had pictures of this place in our hotel and we decided to visit it. We were attended by a super friendly person who made good recommendations and attended us at all times for whatever we needed. The food was exquisite, the mussels were on point and the rack of lamb was soft and delicious. Therefore, they are good in both seafood and meat
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
I give him four stars because of the treatment of his waiter, he was very friendly. We couldn't have dinner there, we didn't have a reservation and we didn't want to eat inside the place (it was very hot)... next time it will be.
You know, book!!

It was the first time we went and from now on it will be a stop to set for lunch or dinner, the seafood mussels are delicious but the paella is impressive, I could say that it is the best paella I have ever tasted in my life, in addition to the treatment of the waiters and the owner is 10, we have laughed a lot, 5 stars no, 10

Fantastic experience:
Of category, the attention, the service, the food ... the place is small but cozy, quiet ... the quality food that is the most important thing in a restaurant, the attention ... another 10, attentive, helpful. .. As for the food, the good-sized and tasty razor clams (without a grain of sand), the very rich black rice too, served differently than how you can eat it in Valencia (server is Valenciano, from Puerto de Sagunto) but without detracting, I would repeat, that if the best ... dessert !!! Yougurt ice cream with cloves and tomato jam on a base of alfabrega oil, simply Exquisite, if you are in Cadaques and you don't know where to eat, come to La Sirena, ask for Iñaki and you will be right.

Looking for the best paella in the industry, I came across this pearl. In the heart of the village of Cadaques, tourist place that could allow inaccuracy, this restaurant has chosen to serve a paella that combines tradition and elegance. The marinière is very close to a Catalan rice, perfectly cooked rice with complex flavors of seafood juices. The service is efficient and nice. And the Sirenes wine was perfect ... we will come back to enjoy the rest of the map.
Translated from French
Fantastic experience: Great paella and sangria! The owner and the staff are incredibly nice! You should eat here!
Fantastic experience: Great food and great hosts fab location up the backstreets of beautiful Cadaques
Fantastic experience: Lovely restaurant, food was great as was the service.
Fantastic experience: What can I say other than probably the best restaurant in Cadaques ❤️. Without fail the food is always excellent with locally caught fresh fish and meat from the region. Always beutifully cooked and presented with attention to detail from friendly efficient waiting staff. Great wine list and fantastic house Sangria. Despite only going once or twice a year we are welcomed like old friends. Booking in advance strongly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Cozy place with astonishing food, but be aware of sizes. Reasonable prices. But you should book a table

Fantastic experience:
All delicious, I had a fish zarzuela (they make them at least two people), and we loved it. The baked fish is also exquisite and the squid for tapas, very tasty. The truth is that all the seafood tasted fresh and was well cooked. More or less normal price for this type of food, between € 20 and € 30 per person. You leave satiated.

Fantastic experience:
So how to start after such a meal ...? Talking about the friendliness of the staff and the adorable, attentive, knowledgeable and knowledgeable waiter in his advice ... From the setting that is really typical of the fisherman's house of Cadaqués. The dishes... In the starter of the anchovies of the country on pan tom tomato just toasted ... A divine must. A monkfish and grilled vegetables extra fresh with perfect cooking. A paella ... The perfection ... Cooked to the order (20 minutes of waiting, pledge of quality) Rice cooked in a bottom of crustaceans ... Mussels, clams, prawns and fresh langoustines, cuttlefish cooked in ultra generous amount ... In short, if you have to taste only one paella in your life it's here! A delicious white wine at a sweet price. A delicious Catalan cream, inevitable too and perfect to finish. In short, take the trouble to leave the tourist catches of the sea to come to the Siren discover the real gastronomy of Cadaqués. Everything was perfect ... From reception to goodbye ... We'll be back ... sure. Price merit.

Fantastic experience:
After visiting the beautiful Cadaques wandering through the streets we ended up in this cute restaurant. Marchel and Lorenz welcomed us and treated us like old friends, and then came the Antipasto Dinner with Bread and Anchovies and then Zuppa de Cadaques very good, rich in fresh fish and so abundant that it would have been enough for four people; so good that I went to hug Jorge the chef. Also amazed by the dessert and the honest bill for what we ate. Thanks again to Inali Jorge Marchel and Lorenz.

Fantastic experience: It is off the path, out of sight, with wonderful local fish and dishes.
Fantastic experience:
We had a good time with a large bib with sea bream, very practical to avoid stains. The bill is a little salty, but this restaurant is very pleasant at the end of its little alley. Far from the tourists because there is only the siren looking at the ground of the lane you will understand the name of the restaurant. We ate outside on their small, very intimate 12-seat terrace. I recommend.

Fantastic experience: Outstanding seafood. I'd never liked mussels until now... I loved them here! The monkfish was amazing and also the scallops. What made this place really great was the super friendly staff. They couldn't do enough for you. Highly recommend this place for delicious food and great service.
Fantastic experience: Great Service, neat location inside streets of Cadaques. The food was excellent, had the Dorade au Four.
Fantastic experience: Very nice restaurant for sea food with great and fresh food, as well as a friendly staff. Paellas are one of the specialties, so give it a try! The restaurant is located in a quiet dead-end street, very close to the beach.

Fantastic experience: The food was amazing and so was the service. Reservations are recommended. We didn't have one but since we were the first to show up for dinner they found a table and sat us. The steak "La Sirena" was one of the best steaks I have ever had. My in-laws had an off menu fish plate that blew their minds. They said it was the best fish they have ever had. Definitely a must for dinner if you are in the Costa Brava area.
Fantastic experience:
We went on Sunday June 26, 2016. After walking around the town (Beautiful), we arrived at the Restaurant. The site is a beautiful little street, in the style of the place. A cozy place, with a nice decoration, but the important thing: Both the treatment, which was excellent, and the food (We ordered a Paella Marinera for two), are a real pleasure! Paella Marinera is amazing. Price and quality more than recommended. We can only say that, without a doubt, we will return !!!

Fantastic experience:
Super nice staff and place, good house wine at a good price and most importantly, the food, spectacular. The best fideuá we have eaten and the Catalan cream a delight. It is not cheap but the value for money is absolutely adequate and you pay happily. The portions are more than abundant in addition. In fact, you can dispense with the tickets and ask directly for a dish, which is plenty. Wonderful, highly recommended.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience: The best seafood restaurant I've ever been to. You can tell the great care that the staff take in choosing the ingredients, preparing them and serving the food. It's an absolute delight. The people are genuine, friendly and clearly take great pleasure from making sure everything is great for you down to the tiniest detail. Do book in advance even out season and in the week. Very much part of the magic of Cadaques.
Fantastic experience: Excellent food and service. Loved the mussels.
Fantastic experience:
We won a free dinner at this restaurant and we really loved it. The food very good (it was menu). They put us on the 1st dish: Roman squid, 2nd: The fish, which by the way was very good, and for dessert we ordered an Oreo ice cream. Apart from the food, the waiters treated us great! Thanks for the experience.

Fantastic experience: We had delicious black rice with seafood and a refreshing bottle of white wine. The service was wonderful and the location quiet enough to have a nice lunch break before sleeping it off in a siesta. Would recommend to call in and make a reservation so you don't have to wait. Ask for a table outside.
Fantastic experience: Great (sea)food, awesome host (Inake?), friendly feeling. Strongly recommended. Oh, and don't miss the special dessert: icecream with basil oil and tomato marmelade. Awesome!
Fantastic experience: Amazing food, try the meat from a local farm you will not regret it
