Fantastic experience: Amazing experience! Beautiful location and most amazing fresh fish ever! A must do!

Gerard Sanz 03/06/2022

Fantastic experience: I found many times, restaurants located in premium spots to be very disappointed, and that is why I'm extremely excited when I find those who make the effort and go the extra mile to do a good job. This cute restaurant located in beautiful Aiguablava cooks with local sustainable wood helping to keep their forests clean. They have daily fresh fish from local artisanal fishermen and they have delicious elaborated daily suggestions. As starters we ate mussels, razor clams and a delicious burrata salat eith anchovies. As a main we enjoyed an awesome creamy paella with local prawns. Their wine selection was also great and they extra chilled our cava for 10min before serving it. When we finished we asked for a bottle of white wine to go to the beach and they lend us a cool bottle cooler filled with ice so that we could enjoy the wine at the right temperature. Overall an awesome experience for which we payed 35eur. Thanks so much for making our day in the beach an amazing day!

Fantastic experience: Great restaurant in a wonderful cove on the Costa Brava. The treatment of the staff was magnificent, very friendly and attentive at all times. They recommended several towns in the area to visit that did not disappoint us !! ✅ We were 2 people and we ordered the mussels (very rich and abundant) and the Toc al Mar paella (very good) . Very well priced. ❌ The price of the jug of tinto de verano seemed excessive (€ 15) Also add that if you have a reservation you can park in the parking lot and you can pass the queue to enter the cove.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic both the paella and the starters we tasted (beans with belly and razor clams). Very quiet atmosphere in April, I guess in summer there is more movement. The treatment of the staff is also very nice. We will be back for sure.

Fantastic experience: Exceptional restaurant to enjoy the sea views with daily cuisine .. fresh fish, by weight, and really well cooked .. The rice dishes are not served at night, to my liking it is missing every time I go to dinner. .You have paid parking and you need to have reserved..the treatment of customers is excellent, as well as the quality of their food..I have repeated 3 times and I do not get tired .. It is not cheap, but not one of the most expensive in relation to price quality!!

Fantastic experience: Surprise we get. Super recommended. We went to eat on the second shift and we ate very comfortably and everything was very good. We ordered some super tasty grilled mussels. A rice that the waitress recommended for 2 where there was nothing left over. Bread with tomato, which you could tell was frozen, and desserts that are not strong but very good. To drink water. €42 p.p. We will be back.

Ignacio Piédrola 06/05/2022

Fantastic experience: They had made us several recommendations from the Costa Brava (La Blava, Carbó ...) so far all had been very fair in terms of expectations (either for quantity, or for quality ...). Toc al Mar has been that restaurant that has fulfilled, and in spades. What we ordered was simple: razor clams (large size and good quantity), mussels (many and of very good quality, very juicy) and a black rice with aioli (just the right amount: not too much, not too little, and spectacular). In addition, we accompany everything with glass bread with tomato and a house wine. All very very good. If you book a long time in advance (1 month) you can eat on the front line with views of the evil. The treatment is very good, although there are some waiters for whom Spanish is difficult. BTW, they have the "starry" for their flag. If you do not care about any topic of politicking: it is your site. It is a place that you have to go to yes or yes if you visit the Costa Brava

albert miralles 06/05/2022

Fantastic experience: It is a Christ park (in high season) and it should be noted that it is a terrace at the foot of a crowded beach with all that entails, but they have a first class product with excellent cooking points for to seafood and rice, and very attentive and friendly staff. It's not cheap, but it's worth every single euro you spend.

Adria Diaz Justicia 06/05/2022

Fantastic experience: Very good treatment of the staff, attentive and curious. They show us a dish of hake that has an incredible lemon sauce, apart from the bread that is requested per portion but very good and crunchy, the tuna salad with tomato, very juicy and perfectly salted! The potatoes with aioli and the opposite sauce, incredible !! In a perfect touch of garlic that does not repeat itself. The pella was 4 of us and after all that .. we ordered an incredible paella of 3, nothing bad to say about it !! The desserts, weak cheese cake and the best ... to choose the ball you want !! Recommended 200%

Cesar Tetra 23/04/2022

Positive experience: It is the first time we have been to this restaurant and we have been to dinner as tapas to share. The restaurant looks much brighter during the day than at night because of the views, but it's still fine. The fish we ordered when preparing it on the grill was quite good, especially the mullet on a trowel, the razors with salsa verde were juicy and without sand and the sardines were a good size. The grilled mussels also had a grilled aroma. The only thing that seemed to us to be a little raised in price is the wines since a wine from 10€ to 29€ seems to me to be exorbitant. Even so, dinner was worth it.

Monica Pujol 18/04/2022

Positive experience: It was hard for us to book and it's not for less! We were surprised after making a starter, a rice and a dessert. Overall good service and product. Note that starters are somewhat high in price compared to the rest of the products on the menu. We will repeat!

Fantastic experience: Excellent seafood, some highlights were the grilled calamari, razor clams and the mushrooms. View of this small, fairly private beach cove is perfect, the water is crystal clear. The waiters/waitresses are friendly mostly (some had an attitude but that was due to busyness).

Fantastic experience: The place is great, the black rice from the sea and mountains is incredible, I can say that it is the best rice I have ever eaten. We booked in plenty of time and asked for the table that is right on the corner where you see the entire beach, very nice to have a good wine and eat. We also had some very good charcoal clams. We also ordered a cheese cake, it was not good compared to all the ones I have eaten.

Fantastic experience: "The best paella I've ever tasted, and I really mean it" Super fast and attentive service, from the reservation girl, through the owner (or the manager, I don't know what it was) to the last waiter. LOVELY! The price is super good. There were 4 of us, we ordered a drink, two tapas, paella and dessert, and it cost us € 120 all. SUPER RECOMMENDED !!! Congratulations to the whole team, really! And it couldn't be in a better situation, one of the most beautiful beaches on the Costa Brava.

Dani Marchan 08/07/2021

Fantastic experience: We have ordered the hearts of lettuce and selected vegetables, the mussels in the wood oven, a paella "toc de mar" for two and we have also shared a cheese cake with matcha ice cream. For me the best mussels, followed by the salad. Paella is better than many others but it is not the best dish they have served us today. If I have to find a problem, it is that they prioritize the foreign customer over the local one (the locals were put on the second line of the sea and the foreigners on the first line, which we had reserved) but that is the daily bread in the Costa Brava.

Fantastic experience: A great beach experience! If you look for “pescado del dia” ( fish of the day) I 100% recommend this place. You have everything 100% fresh, baked and cooked in a wood burning oven , the price is right for a beachfront, high quality food. You can visit the kitchen if you love food like I do ☺️ Enjoy !

Alba Calama García 08/06/2021

Fantastic experience: Incredible place, facing the sea and overlooking one of the most beautiful beaches on the Costa Brava. The food is good, with an innovative touch in some flavors and sauces, and the paellas are made with firewood, which is difficult to find in Catalonia and is much appreciated. They are very good and the attention is of quality and very professional.

Fantastic experience: One of the best restaurants on the Costa Brava. It breathes a very Mediterranean atmosphere. Fresh cuisine, innovative and worked with a lot of passion, there are not many places where you can taste some anemones. Gastronomic appointment absolutely mandatory if you are in the area. It is important to book in advance in the summer months.
