Positive experience:
Location by the sea next to the promenade. That's all right. It's okay until you settle down a bit and you know people are coming by the location.
The food? Acceptable. It is not a place that you will register on Maps to return expressly in the future, but you don't leave with an unpleasant taste either. The paella is somewhat salty (to my liking), but made with love.
The deal was good.
We give it a good look (for the views)

The service is excellent. Sebastian attended us among other colleagues. The food is all homemade and the product is very fresh. It is the second time we come, great variety. The dishes come out very quickly. They respect the times between starters and the "Strong" dish. Very humble, familiar and close treatment. And most importantly, the excellent location of the place.

Highlight the good treatment of the waiter, Antonio. I think that without him, me and my friends would not have had such a special time. Menu of € 30 per person with a delicious paella. We will repeat for sure!
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
I recommend this restaurant, because it is located in a privileged place, with fantastic views of the beach. The best of everything, apart from the food? The friendliness of the staff without a doubt, but the food is fabulous, everything we have ordered, good, fresh and of quality. The fish fry, the prawns from Palamós, the Fideua, the desserts. I would better advise you to make a reservation, because if not, it could be that you will not find a table.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
On the same side of the sea, meeting the path we find this fantastic restaurant of a lifetime, who still know how to do things as before. With some more than attentive and friendly waiters, we had a splendid lunch menu, for € 25, of which, if we can first get the idea that it is expensive, when you receive the dishes, with good quantities and good quality, you pay really for what they serve you. The scenery of a deep sea is something that when you don't have it and you can enjoy it with lunch, you enjoy food twice as much.

The Racó de Torre Valentina is one of the referents of seafood cuisine on the Costa Brava. Its menu allows you to enjoy not only seafood paellas, but also fish that bring us closer to a quality product, a cuisine that respects the origins of seafood cuisine and brings us closer to the sea.
