Fantastic experience: Wonderful and luxury food experience. I especially loved Gazpacho with prawns. You will enjoy hint of seafood unexpectedly in different dishes, which I loved a lot. For main dish, I got steak instead of Tartar. The souce of the steak had quite distinct taste, which I was not a big fan, but my partner enjoyed it a lot. I tried Tartar as well and I think it harmonized much better with whole selection. I liked three different soft drink ice cream, which was very fun :) Overall, very pleasant experience

IMPRESSIVE, spacious and cozy restaurant among diners. Professional and attentive treatment at all times. Explanation of each dish and how to eat it. La Cocina (1 Michelin star), INCREDIBLE .... innovation of each dish, highlighting the tastes of each ingredient, no matter how small. Cuisine evoking the fishing village where we are, the flavor of the Mediterranean and at the same time the SUPER consignments of meats from the same province, where there is also EXCELLENT fresh vegetables, with all their flavor. Always seasonal products. Congratulations to the Lores brothers (Cheff and Sommelier) for a job well done and the recognition they have, after so many years, with the coveted Michelin Star. Unbeatable location, the wall of the Castle of Tossa. 10 restaurant.

Fantastic experience:
Can Simón's restaurant is located in a beautiful place in Tossa de Mar. At the foot of the wall that surrounds the town's Vila Vella. It is an oasis of peace and tranquility located in the busy streets in summer of this villa surrounded by the blue of the Mediterranean Sea. It has a 2019 Michelin star and I have to admit that I was very pleasantly surprised by what we have enjoyed with the Tradition tasting menu. The starters were delicious, although each dish that they served us was exceeded. I can't put a single but to any of the dishes, the delicious bread, the very soft and rich flavored butter. I'm going to focus on the flavors that have surprised me. The small pancakes with anchovy sauce and black olives a real explosion of flavors in the mouth. From the initial sweetness to the salty taste of the anchovy, I couldn't stop marveling at how happy each and every one of my taste buds was. The salmorejo is delicious, and that personally I don't usually like. The cuttlefish dish has surprised me by the different textures, a delight. You cannot imagine the salmon's texture and doneness so successful and the smoked flavor gave it a different and very good touch. The mountain rice an explosion of flavor and the perfect accompaniment to the Girona beef. The desserts have put the icing on the cake to an experience that we will repeat without a doubt. We really liked how the dishes were served, without delay and just the right amount to be satiated but not too full. Quality price very adequate for the quality of the products and the excellent preparation of Chef Xavier Lores Gelpi. A 10 !!

Fantastic experience:
In front of the walled enclosure of Tossa de Mar is this small restaurant with a large gastronomic cuisine basically seafood. Pleasant and elegant dining room, careful service, well-stocked cellar and an offer with two menus and a select menu in which rice and stews are very successful. I try the mini-casserole of "esperdenyes"; crayfish in the style of a ragoût and the sea and grouper mountain in evoking a fricandó and Pals rice with sea goat. For dessert, chocolate in spheres. A delight And with coffee, served by the glass, an assortment of goodies, which you can take if you can't already with them.

Excellent service, they make you feel special and forget for a few moments fritanga and restaurants that claim to be what they are not whose prices are not so far from those in this restaurant. In the wine and champagne menu it is very complete and it is difficult not to find a wine or cava that does not adapt to tastes or needs. It is cozy and quiet. Exquisite. Ladies and gentlemen have a Michelin star, there are too many words

Fantastic experience: Delicious! I especially liked the seafood appetizer! I was also very pleased with the desserts (I tried everything a little) Really worthy of its Michelin star❤️
Fantastic experience:
A Michelin Star! This already means that expert people have valued the establishment in a professional way and that the impression that one can take and transmit is a little insignificant ... but we can also say ours, as clients. When one is located at the foot of the wall and observes the façade, there is nothing that catches your attention and differentiates it from neighboring restaurants. The room is small, cozy, elegant. The waiter, attentive and enters conversation if he is given voice. Small aperitifs and sophisticated to open mouth. The dishes of the menu, sufficient, original in the presentation, excellent in taste. They were surprised by a caller rice that did not appear. Final gift of a small assortment of chocolates. Price? You're a Michelin star!

We loved it! Great quality with creativity, affection, experience and a very good hand. A delicious menu, to take your hat off. Great service, they are super polite, nice and attentive.

Fantastic experience:
Very cozy, classic French style (I just made it up). Good service from the waiter who would never guess his country of origin. Certainly the food was good but not too surprising. Good product, especially the flavors of the vegetables were especially good. They have many details that make the experience and the subsequent evaluation of the restaurant as a whole even more pleasant. The price ranges between € 80-100 per person.

Fantastic experience: Michelin star restaurant in Tossa de Mar, absolutely fantastic local ingredients and cuisine. We had the full gastronomy menu and had a wonderful evening even if at the end we were quite full! Dishes of fish and seafood were all sumptuous and abondant (expected in a coastal village) although the entrecôte was slightly too cooked to our liking. There is a quite extensive wine card with very reasonable prices. We'll worth the visit!

Fantastic experience: Nice location in the fortified old town of Tossa de Mar. Three outdoor tables. Small, round tables indoors, good for five people. Not spacious, but comfortable and informal. Very pleasant, charming service by English speaking waiter who answered our questions with credibility. We chose the 'Gastronomic' menu, which was extensive, with a number of lovely combinations. Lovely presentation. Sommelier didn't speak English, but did a great job when asked to recommend a complimentary wine menu. We discovered a number of local wines we will look for later. Recommended!
Fantastic experience: Hands-down it's a 5-star restaurant shoved Among touristic eateries and their touristic menus. My partner and I went for dinner yesterday, we noticed it was the only establishment without a host or hostess trying to convince us to come in. It's classy, candle-lit and has a refined food. We opted for the Classic Tasting menu and we were not disappointed. The food is fresh and delicious. They kept the glasses of cava's flowing none stop we surely thought it was ringing up our bill only to be surprised that it was truly on the house. The waiter was extremely polite, explained everything we ate in English and did not forget about our table for one minute. At the end of the meal, he even waited for us by the door to bid us a fair well! This place is truly a must for any couple looking for a romantic and authentic Catalan restaurant.
