Fantastic experience:
It is one of the most authentic and classic places in Cadaqués, the atmosphere is perfect. And the fish is always at its point, especially the turbot, which they prepare in a very simple but unforgettable way. Ask for the table by the window for a 10.

Fantastic experience: The atmosphere, food and service were excellent! Where some foods typically land in your stomach, it will float to your stomach here. Home made olive oil! Excellent! Grand dad's very own red vinegar...wow! We've pretty much traveled around the world and can assure you won't be disappointed. Peter & Lise

Fantastic experience: Utulna restaurant with authentic atmosphere. Very fast, sleek and talking English (!) Attendant. Paella (both species) was really good, beef steak was really "medium rare", soft and fragile. I recommend to taste "fish croquette". From the outside, they are crunchy and firm, filled with delicacy and quartz fish.

Fantastic experience: I love this restaurant. If you're looking for a place where you could only be in Cadaqués, this is it. From the room and setting to the food and wine, you can't go wrong. I had a mix of fresh fish grilled on the parrilla that was perfect. The suggested wine from Empordá was incredible. The service was beautiful. Our hotel tried to get us a reservation for that night (a Saturday) but they were told the restaurant was full. We tried anyways, arriving at 8pm, not realizing they open at 830. They were still setting up and we asked if there might be a table for 2 when they open. Yes, come back at 830. We did and were seated next to a window overlooking the mediterranean. This was an unforgettable experience.
Fantastic experience: Top experience
Fantastic experience:
My favorite in Cadaqués. Delicious and service from 10. They called me the day I made the reservation to let me know that there was a caravan to enter the town but not to worry that they were waiting for me to eat. A great detail!

When you go up the stairs, you cross the threshold of the door, you see and feel the great spaces and finally Fanni Puig speaks to you, you know, at that precise moment that you are in a very special place, that invites you to savor and let yourself go, to To ask too much because you want to try everything and in which the price goes to the background. With each bite you see that you are eating a bit of Cadaqués and Catalunya, an excellent local product seasoned and prepared to be savored and enjoyed. Spacious and minimalist place, beautiful, with views of the bay. Friendly and professional service. And an attentive Fanni who welcomes the people of Cadaqu and those who are not with affection knowing that they will enjoy. And bravo !, of course! to the kitchen, directed by her husband Josep as an obligatory partner in this whole party.
