La Fàbrica del Gel: Reviews
Positive experience:
The first courses were very good. I ordered Andalusian calamari and it was very good. For the main course, I ordered paella from the menu and I didn't like it at all; my son ordered paella from the menu as well, and it wasn't very good either, the rice was very soft. The service was very slow; we arrived at two and left almost at five, even though the restaurant wasn't full. The desserts were very good. The price was about €40 per person.

The lobster paella was divine. Very good service. But it's good to prepare your pocket. The experience is worth it.

Fantastic experience:
Fantastic! Unbeatable! Great food and amazing presentation!! The service is fast, attentive and very friendly. The head of the room was very nice, we were on the terrace with our dog (who, by the way, was given water in a large bowl for dogs) and when she saw that we were cold, she brought out some blankets that also had a great smell. The truth is that without a doubt we will repeat when we return to Palamós; Today you eat well and to taste in very few restaurants and without a doubt this is one of them!

Fantastic experience:
A week ago we went to dinner 3 people with reservation. We have wanted to try it for a long time. Due to the risk of rain, we ask for a table inside. The service is fast, attentive and without overwhelming the customer. Quiet and elegant place The letter is limited but sufficient for the choice. Correct wine list. Reasonable prices for the presentation and quality they serve. All the exquisite dishes that were served on time and without waiting. We ordered first: Prawn tartare from Palamós (very good), Capritx d'alberginia (magnificent presentation) and popets; / second: two simfonies de peix (exquisite) and an Iberian prey perhaps overcooked / for dessert: two poma cruixents that we could hardly finish, and a carquinyoli flan. Maragda wine (Garnatxa blanca and Macabeo) plus coffee. All without surprises. For us the best level restaurant in Palamós. We will be back

Positive experience:
I went to dinner and just say that I loved it.
Dishes prepared with the constant attention of all staff.
Perhaps for putting a dog to say that there was a lack of attention such as offering a digestive, although this is something they are not obliged to offer, of course.
In any way I totally recommend and say that when I have a new opportunity I will return.

It is well located, has a covered terrace in front and the interior is elegant, there is a good separation of tables. The food is very good, fresh fish. They have a menu of 30 and 40 euros respectively and of course the menu. This is wide and abundant; equal q that of wines q there is great variety.The service is fast and efficient. Where it is located, vehicles do not usually pass, children can play outside, although in summer it is a very busy area. There is a car park on the same side that in winter is not paid.

Menus of 30-40 €. Good presence and good qualities.
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
Perfect atmosphere for dinner with ideal music at the perfect volume.
Ideal attention from the staff.
The only downside, but it would be, is that the seafood we ordered (rice with lobster) was not fresh or was frozen.
The point of rice spectacular as well as its taste, but the most expensive product was not at its ideal point.
Repeat, if you modify this point.

The restaurant really deserves multiple Michelin awards. We have chosen the option of our own compiled menu. For 40 EUR you can enjoy a starter, main course and dessert. The quality and presentation is excellent. The service extremely courteous. The wines on offer made it possible for us to drink a Demeter Chardonnay. Given that Palamos is highly touristy, the prices are not excessive.

Spectacular!! As usual.. Everything you order in this house is delicious, a delicacy for people who are demanding and who take care of their diet, since their dishes, apart from being fresh, are also very well prepared in a very healthy way. Here you can go and you do not have to ask for the menu, you can say to the waitress, bring me what you want. Not to mention the desserts ... the best cake I have ever eaten in my life ... meringue and the best flan ... these are my favorites, however they are all good *****. In this house the staff is as helpful and professional as possible and all the dishes are made with love. I don't usually go anywhere else. If you want to impress someone, take it here. You will all leave happy!

Quality cuisine next to the fishing port of Palamós. Refined restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere where they prepare dishes with local products. It has a menu and a couple of menus (one from Monday to Friday for 27 euros and another from Monday to Sunday for 40 euros) with a wide variety of dishes. Rice, fish, prawns from Palamós and other specialties, but served with great presentation and rich on the palate. It is cheap for us (although the 27 euro menu is very affordable) but if you go through Palamós it is one of the most outstanding.

The 27 euro lunch menu on weekdays, simply spectacular! Starters the best part! All delicious! The second pan, at its cooking point and the cuttlefish on top. Quite complete and high quality portions. To finish a fairly standard dessert but also well done. My favorite place in Palamós!

Fantastic experience: Great variety to choose from, every dish we tasted was almost perfect. Very friendly and talkative personnel, especially the blond one with the glasses was fantastic.
Fantastic experience: The food was excellent, the local prawns were cooked perfectly. Also had great service so can't fault this restaurant at all.
Fantastic experience: After many years of holidays in Palamós this is ´our´ restaurant. Excellently prepared dishes of high quality. Very good and sympathetic serving. If you want to eat calmly in a restaurant that is not fully meant for tourists, this is the place to go.
