Fantastic experience: The experience has undoubtedly been pleasant. The food is homemade with local and nearby products, where the presentation and details are well taken care of. The atmosphere of the restaurant, despite being a Saturday, was calm and welcoming. I recommend the house octopus, the mussels, and the broth rice with fish and seafood. The service has been professional and friendly. We will definitely come back!

Fantastic experience: Great place with good quantity and quality!! For the first course, we ordered some green asparagus with romesco sauce, they were delicious... It seemed like just an appetizer but they turned out to be spectacular, along with the largest asparagus we had ever tried. For the second course, we ordered a soupy seafood and fish rice with ink, it was also delicious with plenty of fresh and tasty seafood. Very good quantity/quality/price ratio.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Restaurant with a good atmosphere. We ordered Andalusian squid, very good and not oily at all. Mussels à la Marinera were very tasty and the soupy rice with fish and seafood was delicious, the rice cooked perfectly. The staff were very attentive and professional. We will definitely recommend it.

Fantastic experience: Good restaurant in Calella. I wanted to eat an Empordà rice and I found it very good here. We also tried a smoked señorito rice and, although it was quite good, I prefer the soupy one without masking the original flavors. The baby squid are delicious. The service is very attentive and the place is very pleasant.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: One of the best restaurants and best service I have seen in my life. I went alone and a little late for dinner, and they treated me so well that it felt like being at home with the best food and quality. The cuttlefish with vegetables were amazing! Without a doubt, a family place of the best quality and service that one can have these days. Few restaurants have treated me with such kindness when I went late; most were closing. Thank you for the service!!!

Fantastic experience: The place is cool, it was nice to eat indoors with the air conditioning since with the heatwave you can’t be outside. We ordered some sautéed shrimp, some calamari, some bravas, and a cuttlefish. Everything was very good, you can tell the high quality of the products. The service was very attentive as well.

Translated from French

Fantastic experience: A fantastic restaurant! Much better than most first-class restaurants both in terms of service (an excellent treatment from several waiters, all very well-mannered) and in terms of the ambiance and decoration. The food is of top quality. We even asked to take half a bottle of wine that we hadn’t finished, and not only did they not have any objections, but they also offered us a cork stopper and a bag for the bottle. Highly recommendable in all aspects! Oh, and we were assisted in Catalan, which we appreciate very much and is becoming a luxury characteristic in these times.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: Very cozy and beautiful restaurant. Fast, friendly, and attentive service. Everything is very good and a paradise for those who cannot eat gluten and find limited menus. We tasted croquettes, sonsos, squid, and gluten-free tiramisu! Delicious!!!! We will definitely repeat!

Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Fantastic culinary experience in a beautiful spot in the heart of Calella. It's definitely worth trying the smoked rice paella from the gentleman. Outstanding service!
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: A very nice, family-friendly, and pleasant place. Both the staff and the venue... The food is exquisite and prices are economical. I recommend it 100%. They made me a paella with only meat and vegetables, without seafood broth, as I am allergic and I was able to eat paella again. It was delicious, I loved it, as in many other places they do not make it without seafood broth.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: We had a meal with 4 adults and 2 children on a Wednesday in July and we loved it, as we were going on an adventure. Very attentive staff, very fast, they didn't take long to serve once we placed the order. The patatas bravas were amazing, the fish paella was one of the best we've had, the rice was cooked perfectly, not watery (we like it that way) and the fideuás were very good. If we return to the area, we will repeat!
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: We ate very well, the staff is warm and attentive.
Translated from French

Fantastic experience: The food was excellent, everything we ordered was very good and of good quality, a lot of local products. The place was excellent, and the prices were moderate, but it was totally worth it with what we ate. It's a shame we didn't take any pictures because the presentation was excellent. Parking: Although it is close to the sea, searching a bit is not difficult to find. Kid-friendliness: There are no age limits.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Very good food and many gluten-free options for celiacs. Some options are fried and battered. The place is very cool and the decor is great. We will definitely come back. Dietary restrictions: Options for celiacs
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: We ate very well! The multitude of options for CELIACS is appreciated! 100% recommend the octopus à la parmentier! And the grilled steak to lick your fingers....
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: Charming restaurant in the center of Calella, in a parallel street to the main one. We ordered fideuà and it was delicious. The place is quite nice and pleasant. The staff is very friendly. They served us quickly. Average price.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Good atmosphere, Mediterranean food, a very varied menu, good service, the prices of the menu are medium-high, you need to reserve!!!
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: The seafood broth rice, what a delight! I would come back just for that. The tiramisu was nothing special, with a lot of cream, and I didn't like that with the reserved table and arriving when the restaurant was almost empty we were seated in front of the restroom, but well, that can be changed on the spot.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Discovery of the place by chance, they accepted us with our pet, a nice touch, the soupy rice was spectacular, highlighting the kindness and attention of the staff, we will repeat.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Spectacular, quality product, good service, welcoming and clean, but without a doubt for me, the best thing is that all the batters are gluten-free, something difficult to find, they also have a variety of desserts for celiacs, which is appreciated. I will definitely repeat.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Location situated on one of the parallel streets near the main one. Well decorated and spacious. A bit warm, maybe a touch of a/c would be better. Super attentive, friendly, and family-like service. A 10. Good value for money. Quality food, many GLUTEN-FREE options. Ideal for celiacs.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: We had a great lunch. The price is fair, the service is quick and friendly. They have many gluten-free options (croquettes, calamari, homemade desserts) which we really appreciate. The rice is delicious and you can tell that the products are local.

Fantastic experience: Very good address! Delicious cuisine and very friendly service in a very pleasant setting. We recommend it without hesitation!
Translated from French

Fantastic experience: Excellent food. Welcoming staff and good value for money. What’s not to like?

Fantastic experience: Very good restaurant. I've been there twice and each time they exceed themselves. The prawn salad is delicious and original. The fish and seafood paella is excellent. The service is very good and the value for money is correct.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: Spectacular experience. Everything we ordered was excellent. Impeccable service and considering that we were with a celiac girl who enjoyed the food like never before, with many gluten-free options that you can hardly find in few places. 100% recommended.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: super attentive service, cozy place, we will definitely return! we entered because they accepted our dog! super recommendable!
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: They accepted our reservation for a large group the same day, so we were quite grateful! The patatas bravas and mussels were very tasty. The beers came in jugs and super cold glasses, another detail that is much appreciated in the summer. The fish and seafood paellas and the vegetable one were delicious. Highly recommended place to eat one day in Calella de Palafrugell.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: We were very well received, all the dishes we had were good, even excellent in the case of the octopus tentacle or the cuttlefish or grilled squid. The bill is certainly a bit above average, but it's a very good value for money.
Translated from French

Fantastic experience: Very nicely decorated restaurant with great food at fair prices. Pleasant atmosphere and very friendly staff. Especially commendable for us was that you could also order wine in half-liter bottles.

Fantastic experience: We have been going to Xabec since it opened, 17 years ago. Not only is The food excellent. The atmosphere & ambience of the place is so welcoming. Love the new look too. Susie is great at front of house & her hubby a great chef. This restaurant is always on our list to visit everytime we go back. Fantastic restaurant & food.

Fantastic experience: Super delicious food. Top service. We will definitely come back.

Fantastic experience: Nice place, good service from the staff. The food is generally good, but in particular the baked cod is spectacular! Beautiful inner terrace.

Positive experience: I really liked the decor, the personal service, the variety of wines and the well-presented dishes
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Quiet, comfortable and clean place. It mixes traditional dishes with other original mad dishes. It is worth a visit.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Good service

Positive experience: Right place with a good price for the area. The goat cheese salad was really good, but the paella lacked some flavor. I was annoyed by the detail that the waiters only spoke Catalan despite seeing what sometimes we didn't understand exactly what they were telling us, although it wasn't a problem either.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: A delight, the staff are warm and lovely with the children. The fish is excellent, good local wines. Perfect and fast service. Go there with your eyes closed (and your stomach empty).
Translated from French

Fantastic experience: Nice, friendly, family run restaurant with good food.

Fantastic experience: My partner and I had a delicious salad with prawns, blueberries, and currants, a wonderful seafood and fish paella.. really good and for dessert a different and very tasty carrot cake and he had an Irish coffee better than in Ireland.. I was pleasantly surprised by the eco-friendly style with purified water in their glass bottles.. And the service was fantastic. The price was very good! We absolutely recommend it. We will return
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Very good paella, and very good service, highly recommended.
Translated from French

Fantastic experience: It is our favorite restaurant in Calella and there are quite a few good ones. We have been going there for over 12 years and it is one you enjoy returning to. Homemade cooking, local food, Km0 meals. The service is excellent, the owners manage it with a lot of care and you can tell. The rice dishes are very good, especially the broth, the best noodles I have ever tried, and many options for a good appetizer to start with. It is in the center of the village on a very quiet street, away from the crowds of the beachfront restaurants. However, it does not have the views of Calella. You can't have it all.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: A restaurant we come to every summer. Now, during covid times, perfectly adapted and equipped. Lots of hygiene, and table separations, without exceeding capacity. We felt very comfortable! And as always, great value for money, and super friendly staff. Thank you for this dinner. See you next summer!!!
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: Great quality at a good price. Very pleasant service.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: The food is delicious. Whether you eat it on-site or take it home, it is a highly recommended place. The staff's service is impeccable, making you feel like one more member of the family. The paella and the fideuà... Amazing. And the meat... Incredible.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: Excellent service and great food

Fantastic experience: Do you know when you go to eat at any place for the first time and just by the way you are welcomed, you know you will leave satisfied? Well, that has just happened to me with this restaurant. We ordered from the menu: rice with vegetables, a salad, and some mussels. Everything was spectacular in taste and something important, generous portions, you will leave well full if you go in hungry :) Another important point: they have plenty of staff to attend to you so we didn't have to wait between dishes. The bread they serve is also of good quality. And last but not least, another important point. Unbeatable quality/price ratio. Hard to find another restaurant in Calella del Palafruguell with this quality/price ratio.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Excellent restaurant, with high quality for the tuna and the accompanying vegetables, for example, for an unbeatable price-quality ratio. The service and the dishes are truly quality. 58 euros for two with 50 cl of good wine. It's perfect. Excellent address. Don't arrive too late.
Translated from French

Fantastic experience: Nice restaurant in the middle of Calella de Palafrugell. Quite place with a terrace in the back. Very good lamb chops. The service was also very good. It's forbidden to smoke in the whole restaurant.

Fantastic experience: Tranquil and very proper restaurant. Very good variety of rice dishes and fresh fish of the day. Wonderful quality-price ratio! Treatment and service are more than impeccable! We will certainly return with total confidence.
