Another discovery in Cadaqués! In a charming little street on the second line of the sea! There are those who know how to take care of the client and they do it without hesitation! The food is a fusion of cultures with an excellent result and something also important, at a more than affordable price! One of the recommended starters ... the green gazpachito! We will repeat in our next stay!

Price according to the product and service.

Thank you

Positive experience:
Regardless of the guides and prices. It was hard for me to taste Galicia on this menu.
The dishes are well executed. Service is the visible face of what the company is.
Changing the music would help the experience a lot.

Fantastic experience:
Highly recommended, we had a very pleasant night, the owner's daughter was super attentive and we felt very comfortable from the beginning. If you are celiac @ you also have gluten-free and gluten-free bread options. We ate the Iberian ham, Tramuntana salad and the vegan option of something similar to chicken with rice ... and ... don't forget to try the desserts! the dishes are alternative, if you want to eat something different and good without paying more, this is the best option. With a very pleasant treatment and a pleasant conversation that allowed us to get to know the people who work in the restaurant better ... they really made us feel at home.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
One of the few remarkable places that we find in Cadaqués at the gastronomic level. Non-tourist-oriented cuisine with an Italian soul and a cheerful miscegenation. The sea bass with coconut milk is essential. The excellent service is much appreciated and the wine list, with all the Italian references, allows you to enjoy the rewarding finds that often await those who risk leaving their comfort zone. Suitable for celiacs.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
5 star experience. Elaborate and quality menu. Unbeatable cuisine and service, especially Julia and Tassi, who make you feel at home. Vegan and gluten-free options. Highly recommended. Quality-price, to be Cadaqués, more than correct. We, whenever we can repeat.

Fantastic experience:
The food, very good. The place, lovely. And the deal, even better.
I would definitely recommend to everyone who goes through Cadaqués!

Fantastic experience: Amazing place to go. Food was outstanding! Staff is also very friendly, the place feels modern and fresh. A really good place to go in Cadaques.
Fantastic experience:
In a small alley in the heart of Cadaqués, run by an Italian chef, this restaurant offers a great menu, served by a very pleasant team, very charming surroundings. A treat for the taste buds: shared guacamole as a starter, Kaeng Kung and Te i'a ota as a main course, and for dessert the best tiramisu I have ever tasted yet! But what is the secret ingredient?
Translated from French
Fantastic experience: This was a very nice surprise located in a cozy back alley in this picturesque town. The tofu was the best I’ve ever had, the texture was like that of a good flan , the taste was excellent and paired with shaved dried tuna and seaweed it made for an amazing combination. The tuna burger was also an excellent choice even though I’m not a burger fan. Black bread and a great mustard sauce were a great addition to the perfectly cooked fish. The bao bun is also very moist and fluffy with a perfectly cooked meat. The steak tartare is good and simple. Good cut of meat. . Overall a very good experience . Another nice surprise was the quality of the service and the quickness of the kitchen staff considering they got slammed right when we got there
Fantastic experience:
Great place to dine with a very nice atmosphere on a beautiful street. Delicious food and great desserts. The attention is also great, very friendly people.

Fantastic experience:
Nestled on a street in the old town of Cadaques, a fusion restaurant with a delicious menu that invites you to repeat and try everything. Spacious terrace, with good shade and with a sea breeze. The food is simply delicious, well of quantity (not particularly abundant, but enough to satiate) with impeccable service, attentive and witty. Good price quality for the site and the product. We will repeat.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience: Best discovery ever in La Costa Brava. We found it by chance when going through the streets of Cadaqués. We ordered de Chinese panecillos and the prawn curry... Both were just a dream. The staff was very nice and the price more than fine for what I would say was haute cuisine. Marvellous !!
Fantastic experience:
Everything we tried was delicious as well as original. The unsurpassed attention.
We'll be back for sure.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
Highly highly recommended. For starters we ate guacamole with pico de gallo (very good) and gazpacho, made with green peppers, green tomatoes, and other ingredients that were not meant for us, but it was very fresh and full of flavors. We would repeat it. As main courses, we ate swordfish, which was very good, but if I came back, I would try another dish, and veggie venus, a dish that sold some rice, ivy marinated in coconut milk and curry ( brutal), green pepper (super good) and babaganush. The vegan options are exquisite, the wine list detailed, and the great treatment and atmosphere made you feel at ease. For dessert we ate the cannolis with riccotta and pistachio, very good and fresh, but the best was the chestnut tiramisu. Bestial, the best tiramisu we’ve ever tasted. We will repeat!
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
Excellent, healthy and unusual food. The treatment with the great staff. If you are tired of paellas or tapas and you find yourself in Cadaqués, the place will certainly not disappoint you. Of course, they show you the menu because the dishes are not well understood by name.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
Excellent restaurant. The presentation of the dishes is very original. As well as the combination of flavors. I recommend the Separdi-style lamb served in a sauce and accompanied by beet couscous. They are very friendly, attentive and explain very well what the dish consists of.

Fantastic experience: Absolute best lamb curry I have ever had - and I live in London Steak tartare is also worthy of the best Parisian bistrots - says my Parisian girlfriend Beware the identical twins (one is a waiter, one is a cook) - they tricked us for jokes
Fantastic experience:
Top restaurant! Belly burger and chestnut tiramisu are two must-haves !! Cheescake, beet hummus, xaloc salad are also brutal. All lovely staff !! It is definitely a restaurant to repeat.

Fantastic experience:
Not only is the food elaborate and of good quality, the waiter is also friendly, kind and super professional, which makes the food feel even better. Don't miss the chestnut tiramisu.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience: Great food, excellent atmosphere and very friendly staff. The chestnut tiramisu is to die for! Great location too, in a small street shielded from the dominant winds. I only wish they had more meat options as they no longer have the duck confit, which I was much looking forward to try.
Fantastic experience: Great food and very nice atmosphere, funny and witty made by the team!!
Fantastic experience:
We had a rather rich tasting menu in a very nice place. The doors that also serve as decoration are spectacular. The only downside is that they had to refine more in the wines when you ask them for recommendations. We will repeat for sure
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
They have a tasting or carte menu. We chose to order à la carte. Everything was very good but, in particular, the oxtail and carabinero tacos and the candied suckling pig were excellent.
Nice and bright place, on a mezzanine floor with balconies. They have a terrace.
Very good and close attention.

Positive experience:
Very good experience, quality products well treated. The attention of the staff was very good, our waiter was super friendly. We were with two children and for the 1-year-old it was very difficult to find something she could eat but the 8-year-old ate everything and came out delighted.

Fantastic experience: We had such a great time here. It was our last night in Cadaques, which we were all really sad about. We made a reservation and were able to sit outside. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Both the starters and entrees were delicious! Great for both the carnivore and vegetarian.
Fantastic experience: Amazing quality of food! Really loved it! The value for money was great too. We had burrata, ceviche, goat cheese salad and bresaola - everything was delicious! Especially the salads. Please make sure to book well in advance as they tend to get full, especially if you want to be seated outside. The restaurant had some upbeat evening music, which gave a cool vibe.
