El Racó del Mar: Reviews
Positive experience: Doncs mala experiència amb el servei, ja que al entrar ens ofereixen 4 aperitius diferents (copa de Martini, copa de cava, mojito )...sense dir-nos que no entrava amb el preu del servei , que era un extra el qual ens em adonat a l'hora de pagar, ja que de 25 euros que valia el menú (amb vi peleó -de tetrabrik, però reomplint una botella de vi bo, per enganyar al comensal), ens cobren 70 euros pels dos menús. Diem que això no era , que era 25, i de molt males maneres un home gran que no se si era l'encarregat, ens ha dit que nosaltres havíem demanat l'aperitiu (a part que ens volien colar també una ampolla de vi que no havíem pres per 10 euros). En començat a discutir amb ell, i amb un cambrer el qual ens ha aixecat la veu tot alterat. Ells diran que nosaltres havíem demanat l'aperitiu, però la realitat és que la noia, la qual d'una manera racista el personatge grassonet que ens estava dient que estàvem equivocats, ens ha dit que la cambrera que era rumana (a mi l'origen de la cambrera m'és igual (són persones com tothom i el tema no era aquest) ens havia ofert el servei d'aperitiu, i nosaltres dient que la manera d'oferir-lo ja sigut errónea. Després despectivament ha preguntat de quina nacionalitat era la meva parella..es a dir..continuava el to racista vers la gent que no ha nascut a Catalunya. Per cert...havia fet la reserva per email fa dies , em dinat allà a les 13.30 hora que vaig reservar, em pagat l'abusiu aperitiu (10 euros més) i a les 16 hores de la tarda anulen la reserva!jajaja...son la reostia!anem..mengem ..paguem..marxem...i a les 4 de la tarda ens anulen la reserva com per no deixar empremta de que havíem anat! Totalment ridícul i fora de lloc Per cert...el cambrer Moja (crec que és deia que es com l'anomenava la persona corpulenta que ens estava atossigant sense deixar-nos ni parlar , s'ha posat molt molt alterat, cridant nos i faltarnos al respecte. Total...una decepció amb el personal del Racó del Mar (a part, si menges a dins, al costat de la cuina, sents tota l'estona crits dels cambres als cuiners d'una manera bastant barriobajera. Això sí ..em dinat bé el que em demanat, les coses com siguin, el millor d'allà sens dubte són els cuiners, per això sap greu marxar amb aquesta sensació de que ens han volgut timar com els hi fan segurament als guiris, veient com ha sigut el servei i l'hora de cobrarnos (fins i tot una ampolla de vi que no havíem demanat). Compte al pagar....clients...reviseu bé el que us cobren i sobretot demaneu cada cosa que us vulguin encalomar si entra en el preu....O us volen posar coses que no volíeu.

Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience: Despite having a reservation and our table being occupied by unpunctual people (the selfishness of this society) one of the waiters, friendly and very organized, made sure that we had a table at that time. The food is very tasty and the atmosphere is very relaxing.
Fantastic experience: A restaurant not to be missed. The boss and the staff are very nice. When the food, for 25 € everything is fresh and homemade. The tuna tartare is a killer. The parillada of fish like this is 30 to 40 € in France and it is excellent. And the kid's shoulder is a real complete shoulder for those who are very hungry !!! The icing on the cake is that with the menu at 25 € the dessert is included of course, but you also have the bottle of Cava which is included ... So no need for an aperitif . Finally a restaurant that does not abuse the prices while being on the frond of the sea. I therefore highly recommend this restaurant.
Fantastic experience: Finally a restaurant by the sea that is not a tourist trap. Very affordable price, menu at 15 euros even in the evening and very good home-made cuisine. I highly recommend :)
Fantastic experience: It is the second time we come, and the truth will not be the last. The service is excellent, they are very attentive and nice. In addition the value for money is great. We love the pica-pica menu, it has tapas and seafood, a delight.
Fantastic experience: We have eaten the menu, very rich. Everything is great. For years we have always eaten on vacation at the raco del mar. And every year, we are satisfied. Very nice all the staff
Fantastic experience: Perfect! Delicious, warm, friendly
Fantastic experience: Hola to Spain! We went to eat with you on January 6th, 2020. For the umpteenth time! And we were completely satisfied again. The service is very good and very friendly. The food was wonderfully presented and very tasty. We would love to come back! Hasta luego Elke and Andreas
Fantastic experience: One of the best value for money (and freshness) in Ampuria. Regular customer for several years. Absolutely delighted. Owner listens to his customers, speaks French very well.
Fantastic experience: We discovered this restaurant on the first day of our vacation and have repeated it several times. All the incredible dishes, top quality products made with great care. Perfect service, unbeatable treatment from David and his waiters. Thank you very much for maintaining quality and service in these difficult times!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommended, good quality / price, we did menu 25 and we loved everything, you can also book comfortably from their website and choose the time and place where you want to eat, inside, outside terrace or inside terrace. Without a doubt to repeat.
Fantastic experience: It is imperative to reserve but we enjoyed pariada of fish Risotto with porcini mushroom with St Pierre. Controlled cooking of fish Go ahead with your eyes closed. Christophe
Fantastic experience: Very good value for money very generous staff very pleasant

Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience: We had a great time. The service was friendly and dynamic. We were close to the kitchens and we can tell you that the proposed dishes are successful and makes you want to see them go by. We ate very well the zarzuela was excellent and very well served. We will come back
Fantastic experience: We have been coming here all year round for years. The food is always perfect, the location is fantastic, the service is very friendly, neat and welcoming. I recommend everyone to eat delicious, cozy and good food here. Price and quality is very good.
Fantastic experience: A totally recommended experience, both in the treatment and in the food or the atmosphere, a friendly and familiar treatment, an excellent meal and a very cozy atmosphere. We ordered the menu for 25 euros and it was spectacular, both quality and quantity. 100% recommended if you go through Empuriabrava.
Fantastic experience: Menu del dia always great choice, value and quality. Excellent service too
Fantastic experience: Very tasty and inexpensive. I was not here for the last time!
Fantastic experience: We have eaten with the menu of € 28.95, the pica pica very complete and delicious. Of the seconds to choose, we ordered soupy rice and seafood grill. All very good but we have been unable to finish the seconds because the pica pica has been very complete. The treatment is more than great, unbeatable. Especially the waiter Salva, who apart from serving us 12, has made us feel at home. We will repeat more than once, for sure !!!!
Fantastic experience: Excellent. We have eaten very very well, exquisite paella and fideuá, the treatment they have given us has been great and the price seemed very cheap for the quality they serve. Without a doubt, a highly recommended place to eat in Empuriabrava. We will repeat for sure.
Fantastic experience: Good quality, quantity and price.
Fantastic experience: We will return without a doubt. The food is delicious, the rice is cooked, it tastes perfect. Good range of products, and it shows that the details are pampered with professionalism. It is not the typical place that seeks the maximum benefit with the minimum effort, you can see the love for the hospitality industry and things well done. It is very comfortable in the place and the attention is great, highlighting the humor of some of the waiters who make you have a good time. I recommend it to anyone who wants quality seafood. The prices are quite tight.
Fantastic experience: Excellent value for money, they have several menus of 15, 19, 25 and 29 euros, our favorite is 29 with 6 first to share, the possibility of choosing a txuletó, a seafood grill or a second kidney thigh , dessert, wine all included (less bread with all-i-oil that is € 1.25 x person).
Fantastic experience: Got told we couldn't go wrong here and it was great.
Fantastic experience: Food was very good, service was friendly and fast by very multilingual staff. good vale for your money.
Fantastic experience: Very well this small restaurant, 150 meters from the beach, it offers unparalleled value-for-money menus. The service is perfect, and what is not of less importance: you can park right in front. Away from mass tourism, I recommend this establishment.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic food, good size portions and varied menu.
Fantastic experience: Very very clearly a good restaurant for what it is. We had taken the menu at 15 € including starter / main course / dessert (from a selection) with drink included, and we did not get our money's worth! The bread with aioli is - I confirm - to die for, we also had a fish soup (spicy but good) and a paella (a little less good but still okay). We did not really wait between courses, they have a digital system that relaunches the servers for each client every X time! For the price, this is clearly one of the most competitive and the staff are pleasant, what's more!
Fantastic experience: We went to eat because I read it in the reviews and it convinced me, I have been able to check a place in the heart of the seafront with a menu of various prices I recommend it 100% really, we took the € 15 menu, yes the PAN is separate and coffee but it's worth all great quality price for a place like this
Fantastic experience: Very good restaurant, very friendly staff, menus or dishes very good value for money. We keep this reference address
Fantastic experience: Superb food and service as always
Fantastic experience: Delicious Mediterranean food in a great cozy atmosphere. Service is friendly and unobtrusive attention. Attention: mussels as an appetizer are already 1kg. Almost to eat ... Paella was also very good! The prices were more than fair! We were surprised.
Fantastic experience: Delicious seefood focused place. Pica pica menu set for 2 was so big that 3 persons easily can share it
Fantastic experience: Restaurant to recommend, the boss very friendly, the servers also. The menu at 15 euros, a treat .More choice. In September 2017, we came several times. I confirm very fresh, good food, and at no time no frozen products. Highly September 2018 we are waiting for your beef cheek with caracols !! Good luck to you and see you soon.
Fantastic experience: Excellent I recommend 15 euros French-style service. I hope to convince the waiter to use hot and dark chocolate on the profiteroles. So we took Catalan cream and soft dark and hot chocolate. Very well.
Fantastic experience: Spectacular, all great, quality price cozy place, and great attention.
Fantastic experience: Very very good ! We eat well and the boss is very nice with a very good team
Fantastic experience: Excellent!!
Fantastic experience: Reeeeeally good (and I am a critical French customer ;)). We ordered the Menu "Pica-Pica" with my boyfriend. 19€ for various tapa courses, very good fish and muscles, and we were too full so asked to have the last dish packed to take home. a whole bottle of very good white wine and good desert inclusive: 19€ was not expensive for the quality and very good atmosphere and service! I highly recommend it!
Fantastic experience: Great spanish food. The best of Empuriabrava.
