Fantastic experience:
What rage !!! Now that I don’t come to Empuriabrava so often, it turns out I know this restaurant. It is the typical restaurant, small, that by the location, you would never go, only if they recommend it or take you there. The first thing I liked was that they told us they weren’t fried. It says a lot because, fried is the great resource of many restaurants to fill menu. The second and most important thing is the quality of the product and the service. Fish from the same day and the recommendations are very helpful. The best mussels I've ever tasted, the tuna tataqui, amazing. Some prawns, your tears falling, delicious, made at the right point. I had no plans to return to Empuriabrava, until quite some time from now, but I will return, only to come to La Farigola. Congratulations. It's been a year since I commented on these lines. And I went to Thyme again, I keep thinking the same thing. A very good find. Highly recommended, power I will not go next time, but to try, to see if I find a treasure like this. That if, if you haven’t been there, try that you’ll love it.

If you are in Empuriabrava you can't miss it, top quality product, cooked to order. Unbeatable treatment. The value for money will leave you speechless. I recommend you try some of their rice dishes, today ours has been a lobster broth.

Fantastic experience: Fresh and quality fish and seafood
Fantastic experience:
We have ordered coquinas, salmon tataki and black rice for two. Everything is great, especially the rice. I would say that I have not tried many as good as this one. Honest and clear prices. We will be back for sure.

Spectacular, both the food and the service. The tuna great and the fish that they recommended very very good. The cheesecake treats very rich too. And the very attentive and friendly staff, pending at all times and recommending the food with the price. The background music is also very good. I would certainly repeat whenever I could.

Fantastic experience:
It doesn't have a great menu but what it has makes it good, fast and with good service. The waiter? A crack! More and more people like that are lacking in that profession!
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
We went to the place specifically for breakfast.
With regard to what we take, all right. A breakfast with grilled croissant and another Iberian breakfast. The Iberian toast is big, so you have more than good breakfast. The coffees, very rich, and the natural orange juice is also good.
The person who attended us is extremely polite and pleasant, he goes full speed through the cafeteria to be able to attend.
And here's the catch... it was full of people and more people kept coming in, but there's only one person serving and preparing breakfasts, so it was all pretty slow.
The prices, perhaps a little higher than those of other places with the same type of breakfast services in more central locations, but affordable.
They have a terrace, but to access this area (which is the entrance to the cafeteria) you have to climb a few steps. We didn't see a ramp (which might be a little further away from the bar entrance) so I can't assess if it's suitable for people with reduced mobility.
Now, the space between tables inside is a little tight.
Overall, a good experience, despite the slow attention.

Positive experience:
Farigola and the Taberna de Marito, two places to make a nice breakfast.
Accompanying your coffee, they offer you some very appetizing warm sandwiches.
I don't remember the brand of coffee, but it's very nice and it's very well made for my taste.
I recommend these two places.

Fantastic experience:
Excellent in every way. The place is simple, but the wild fish and seafood is first class. The rice dishes with their spicy point are excellent and the owners, simple and pleasant. To put one downside, the payment in cash. Closed from November to March; looking forward to coming back on April 1. Very advisable.

A place with fresh fish and seafood of the day. The appearance of the restaurant on the outside may not attract attention at first sight, but you eat very well and they explain and show you what they have off the menu. You can tell they know how to treat the product.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
I assure you that it is a spectacular food place. The fish is very good, it is of the day. Fantastic. But it is that the seafood rice already, you are going out of the pot. Of course, the beach in front is worth nothing. ;)

Excellent fish and seafood. Careful service. Fair prices. In a place that does him no justice. Hard to find. It is inside a horrible building in Ampuriabrava. It is worth ignoring it and sitting down to enjoy an excellent meal. Thank you so much for yesterday’s lunch. We will be back.

One of the best in the area, saying that everything is great is an understatement. You don't expect to find this in this corner of Empuriabrava. Recommendation; Don't look at your watch and savor the unhurried experience.

Fantastic experience:
I rarely write comments about sites but this one deserved a few words. Very high quality product, careful cleaning, attention to detail, very tight price, attentive waiters. The soupy rice was scandalous, the perfect octopus, the tataki to cry on. The reception with the sample of fresh fish of the day already warns you of what awaits you. The delicious homemade desserts, yesterday also had recuit de fonteta. And what music! In short, you cannot miss a visit to the farigola if you are in the area.

We have found this restaurant by other reviews, and the truth is worth it. We have eaten some entrees and paella. Salad, mussels, octopus and seafood paella. The paella is top level, all fresh and super well done. The site is small and cozy. Prices according to what they offer. A lot of variety of fresh fish that we will definitely return to try them. And best of all, the attention we have received. We have prepared a dish out of the letter so that the child ate.

The best rice with lobster I have ever eaten. They teach it to you alive and you choose the one you want. Delicious. Very soft. The chile they offer is very spicy. If you do not like spicy, I do not recommend it, as it is very piquant.

Small restaurant located in a bar in a building, it's not that great at first, but after fresh products the catch of the day fish tataki salmon or tuna sublime cheesecake to fall beware it does not accept credit cards
Translated from French
Fantastic experience:
We made a reservation because we were told that it got busy. Indeed it was. So I would recommend doing it. They do not accept card payments and they put it very clearly at the entrance, in the letter, on the walls of the premises ... the customer who has been offended by this, learn to read. The food is great, nothing expensive if we count on the quality. The waitress takes you out the fresh fish of the day and tells you the price of the pieces according to weight and species, from the same day bought at the fish market. For lunch we ordered a starter of crayfish, very good, they were tiny in size but they were deadly, so much so that we ate them with the shell to savor all the juice, crazy, then we ordered warm salad of eel and seaweed, very good, but we had leftovers, Since the third was a black rice with soup and we could not finish it, it came in very, very good quantity. Despite this, the rice was not thrown away, because at no additional cost they vacuum packed it and we took it with us. For dessert the cheese cake, homemade. Friendly and attentive waiters. Twice they brought us bread and ali oli. In short, a highly recommended site!
