Comment by Bravissima about Can Carlus:

Can Carlus is a prominent restaurant located on the Costa Brava in Tossa de Mar, right next to the medieval walls. Known for its cozy atmosphere, this place offers an exceptional dining experience, especially in rice dishes and seafood. Customers highlight that the staff is friendly, attentive, and always willing to recommend the best from their menu.

Among the most acclaimed specialties are the paella, Cim i Tomba, and fish stew, all prepared with fresh and high-quality ingredients. The general opinion of diners is that the quality-price ratio is very good, and many mention they will return gladly.

Although the restaurant's popularity may necessitate reservations, most visitors feel satisfied with the experience, and some mention that the venue offers a very friendly and family-oriented atmosphere. However, some have pointed out that on hot days it would be better to be indoors due to the lack of ventilation on the terrace.

Fantastic experience: We visit this restaurant every time we visit tossa, we are always made to feel welcome, even after not going for 4 years due to covid and other things the staff still remember us, only my son in law eats fish but there is always something for the non fish eaters. Keep up the good work.

Fantastic experience: For me one of the best restaurants in Tossa, it is not cheap but it is worth it, it has several dishes to highlight, the incredible suquet de anxoves, the Tossenca bacalao, the Cim i tomba de bacalao or monkfish, noodles in casserole with rib and cuttlefish, etc ... both the service and the owner are very attentive and friendly, in short, there is not once that I go to Tossa and do not visit it.

Fantastic experience: Walking around in Tossa on a Sunday afternoon, good to see Can Carlus was opened, so might as well give it a try. I was very content with this unexpected choice, the food was fresh and flavourful, the services was good, and can see more customers coming in while I eat, which is saying something about this place. I will recommend this restaurant if you are in town and looking for some fresh seafood!

Sviatoslav Denysenko 06/06/2019

Fantastic experience: The restaurant is located under the walls of the old fortress. Has a large terrace. We got here by accident, just after a walk in the mountains looking for a place to eat. Noticed that there were many visitors in this restaurant and liked what was lying in their plates. Before that, the waiter spoke good English, explained the details of the menu. Took two paella with sea reptiles (17 euros per person), barely managed. Good service, friendly waiters. Prices are standard for the first line of Tossa.

Joan Miquel Llort Masalias 06/06/2019

Fantastic experience: Traditional seafood restaurant at the foot of the wall. It has 2 types of menu, one of the Day to 18 euros drink separately and another Marinero of 29.90 apart from being able to eat a la carte. We opted for the first one since we saw it very complete and it had the dish that we wanted to try the "Cim i Tomba". We went with my partner and our 8 month old baby. The waiters are super attentive and very professional at all times. As first we ate squid Andalusian style and monkfish croquettes. They were very tasty and the homemade croquettes were very well prepared. Second we shared a "Cim i Tomba" of cabracho, the truth is that it was the first time we tried that dish and I think we went to one of the best places to taste it since it was delicious. And then for dessert we had a tiramisu and a Catalan cream that were just right. A point in favor for those of us who go with babies is that they have a changing table in both the ladies' and men's bathrooms where they have diapers and everything. We paid about 44 euros. A reasonable price for what we ate. In general we were very satisfied, we will surely return.

Juancar Fraca 06/06/2019

Fantastic experience: Very good! We ate one day and repeated another day for dinner, the treatment and professionalism is that of a high-level restaurant, they recommend their wines, and they explain the dishes to you without haste and very kindly. The food is very good, the paella and the "cim i tomba" are highly recommended. The price is worth it for the service they give, if you are enjoying Tosa de Mar it is a highly recommended visit.
Translated from Spanish

Pablo Serrano 06/06/2019

Fantastic experience: If you want a restaurant in Tossa de Mar next to the old wall with excellent cuisine, this is undoubtedly your restaurant. Varied menu of rice, fish and seafood with typical dishes of the area and local products. Good wine list with native varieties and the rest of the Catalan and peninsular areas. If you decide on the menu to share, it is a great value for money option. The rice soup is spectacular and the typical dish, the cim i tomba, will leave you speechless. The frying of the first one is a perfect complement as well as the desserts. All this served with great kindness and courtesy by the staff.
