Marc Valero 03/05/2022

Fantastic experience: Very good restaurant located in an idyllic spot on the Palamós promenade with sea views. The menu consists largely of fish which is mostly fresh and recently caught so its quality is unquestionable. The place has a rather classic and typical interior of a coastal restaurant, it also has a protected terrace with criataleras and enviable views. The service has been a bit slow especially at the beginning, due to the influx of people, although after ordering the food everything has been more fluid. The quality of the food is unquestionable with very fresh and high quality fish, we have ordered different starters and the different rice dishes on the menu, which have not disappointed. In general, the quality / price ratio after assessing everything is very good. Highly recommended place to go.

Fantastic experience: We have gone during the week and enjoyed the seafood menu. It is not a cheap place but you eat quality and the service is consistent. Despite eating rather late, at no time did they invite us to leave, rather the opposite, we felt perfectly cared for. It is worth noting how well they treat the local product, its fish and shellfish were spectacular. We will be back

Alejandro Nevado López 03/06/2021

Fantastic experience: For many years we have been going to Palamós, if I remember correctly, from the 72nd World Cup in Germany with my parents and then us with our children. We had always been unwilling to eat there because it had a reputation for being expensive. Today, for different reasons, we went. Weekday menu, 39.95 with: house snack (a pretty good glass of gazpacho) Starters: salmon tartare + cod fritters (2xcap) + sautéed shrimp Main to choose: paella for 2, fish of the day to taste (in our case monkfish or turbot, very good by the way), zarzuela or grilled Desserts Sweets of each (shot of custard with vanilla, a truffle and a piece I do not remember) Bread, water, wine and coffee or infusion. Sure, the menu may be more expensive, but it seems to me that on the menu, with the quality of the food and, let’s not forget, the service you can’t ask for more.

pau calvet 03/06/2021

Fantastic experience: It must be said that the expectations were very high, because friends who had already been there had spoken very well to me. Well, even so, the experience has been spectacular. This Tuesday we celebrated the 50th anniversary of the in-laws by having lunch at La Gamba. For starters we have been delighted with an assortment of delicacies to taste (pica-pica is a term that does it no justice); salmon tartare, Roman squid; cockles on his globe, octopus in potato bed (and what potato, OMG) and palamós prawn. To continue, I crunched a grill of fish that came with two pieces of turbot and corball, with prawns staring at them. My mom what a taste, the best fish dish I have ever eaten in a restaurant. Dessert was the typical celebration cake, very good, but overshadowed by what we had eaten a few minutes ago. The service was excellent. Fantastic price, I was a guest, hahahaha but as far as I know, it came out to about 40-50 € / none Good food!

Manuel Dorado Pazo 06/06/2020

Fantastic experience: The site is in the restaurants area of ​​the port. A huge point in its favor is that there is a public outdoor parking lot directly in front of the restaurant and that it costs 0.030 euros per minute or 12 euros 24 hours. The restaurant itself looks like a classic restaurant with a large terrace that occupies the entire entrance. There is a menu for approximately € 36 per person consisting of several starters and multiple options to choose from as a second, being able to configure your menu to eat fresh fish (I once ordered the garlic monkfish and it was spectacular!), Paella, fideuá, fish casserole ... the truth is that it is varied and there is where to choose. One of the entrees are the famous prawns from Palamós (not much is coming (7-8 prawns per person) but they were very good and perfectly ready. The wine on the menu is not bad, but for little more they let you change for one from the wine list (I recommend that you let yourself be advised by the waiters, we tried several and we were not disappointed) For dessert there are also several options but I would not leave without trying their concept of Catalan cream, it is a soft dessert, visually very good assembled and frankly delicious.But without hesitation, the best thing about the site is its service, all the members of the team have been exceptionally friendly and careful with us, knowing how to keep the shapes and distance at the same time.We will repeat for sure, without a doubt.
