Fantastic experience: Great from the aperitif to the coffee. Nothing to criticize. All super tasty, beautifully presented and flawless service.

Fantastic experience: Great setting with quality hospitality. We were with a stroller which did not bother us or take away the pleasure of the reception. Unbeatable value for money I highly recommend and I can't wait to go back
Translated from French

Fantastic experience: We entered it by chance as we waited for the bus and did not have too much time for lunch and we were pleasantly surprised. Menu of € 25 but very worked dishes and very friendly staff, we will return.

Fantastic experience: Today we once again enjoyed the close, honest and detailed cuisine of La Gruta Thank you chef Fabrice Cèsar for making us enjoy eating at your house
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Exquisite and amazing food I consider myself a demanding client and when it comes to cooking, even more so because I come from a hotel family. I am a vegetarian and it is very difficult for me to find a restaurant where the food surprises me. At La Gruta I have really enjoyed every bite. I really appreciate restaurants that have quality vegetarian options. I found the food exquisite, well presented and with a mixture of original flavors. It depends on the pocket, it can be a bit high, but not only do you eat, it is an experience for the palate. Ideal for special moments

Fantastic experience: A careful welcome, in a stone place that bears its name well, "la gruta", delighted us with flavors and refined dishes. Do not miss.
Translated from French

Fantastic experience: Exquisite tasting menu, unbeatable attention, quiet place and tastefully decorated. For me, one of the best restaurants with customer service in the area has been impeccable. The link of the chef's effort to his dish is the waiter who with his attention and explanations makes the dishes enjoyed in one way or another.

Fantastic experience: Delicious eaten at La Gruta. It is not for nothing that they are so high in the ranking. We had ordered the 6 course menu with matching wine. What wonderful flavors and combinations. We will definitely come back here. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic experience: Was invited by locals for dinner at this hidden gem located near the old town of Escala. From the outside, it looks very neutral. Inside it is cozy and atmospheric. We came to a full house and had luckily reserved a table. Chose this week's three course menu where all participants got what they most loved to try. The food was beautifully presented. It was a tasty and stimulating experience. The staff. Prima in every way. Definitely a very good and recommendable place to visit in this city.

Fantastic experience: We were guided by the Michelin guide (new in 2022). A pleasant surprise! We made menu of the day, very complete and recommended. Very professional reception and attention. French-Catalan dishes that invite you to repeat.

Fantastic experience: LOVE THIS PLACE! the food is amazing, the staff is the nicest and they have vegetarian options. Will definetly come back ❤️

Fantastic experience: Exquisite location paired with very attentive service. Menu at lunchtime well-coordinated, including water. Wine is a mere 7€ additional fee, but it’s worth every penny. Foie Gras, Salmon Supreme, Chocolate cake and Cardahio (Coffee with brandy).

Fantastic experience: Very rich everything, in a charming space. The wine list is very interesting and prices are worth it. The food like the local beautiful, good and wanting to try more dishes. Highly recommended. I advise you to come before walking and have a drink in the area to end up having dinner at La Gruta. Inside I even like it better than the terrace. Coming earlier is due to the problem of parking.

Fantastic experience: One of the best restaurants in l'Escala. Nice place. Excellent welcome. Better to book!
Translated from French

Fantastic experience: Simply spectacular, high standard cuisine at a reasonable price. July 2018. The level is maintained and they have made the place more welcoming. Prices have risen a bit but in line with the rest. 2020 is still my favorite on the scale, now also with vegetarian options on the menu. 2021 New place, totally new, with the kitchen in sight, spectacular, the quality and attention of always of the best of L'emporda, it is worth going these in the area really.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Very nice gastronomic expérience. Very good service, excellent and surprising food. They adapted the menu for our allergies. Very good wine advice and choice. We will be back! A must do in La Escala

Fantastic experience: What to say. Excellent welcome, excellent service and excellent cuisine, all for a € 20 menu including wine. Do not miss if you go to La Escala. The menu can increase to 25 € in season. In early 2020, the menu increased to 25 € but remains good value for money.
Translated from French

Fantastic experience: A pleasant surprise, very pleasant place, unpretentious, where the important thing is the product. The menu is short, the wine list is extensive, with touches of French cuisine, the service is very correct, the tataki and the steak tartar are excellent.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: We who have been coming to this restaurant for almost 8 years, in all seasons, we have always been very satisfied with the service and the professionalism of the waiters. For us, who have traveled around the world, and who have rubbed shoulders with some great restaurants, it is always an extreme pleasure to come back to La Gruta. The food is simply delicious, delicate and generous dishes, it's not ecstasy ... but the accuracy of the seasonings mixed with a good bottle of wine from the beautiful selection that we are offered is enough to satisfy us, everything simply. And to top it off, it's a real pleasure To be able to share with the Chef who is a passionate and friendly human being. thank you and see you soon

Translated from French

Fantastic experience: Highly, highly recommended.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Will we come back

Positive experience: Good experience, very nice place with very good service, the list of wines, cocktails, cavas, liquors is endless. From what was tasted the best is the corvina with aioli, the feather is not Iberian but it is of the Duroc breed, less fat and very tasty. Disappointment with the desserts, they are not up to the first courses, the coca de escalivada with anchovy very rich but somewhat scarce, the burrata salad, cannot be put with iceberg lettuce. As you notice the vermouth of the land that is on the menu very rich, especially that of Cadaqués! Normal prices as seen on the menu, see pictures!

Fantastic experience: The Grotto - an unforgettable experience Here the set is perfect. The room service, the kitchen that offers a country kitchen with a touch of modernism and fusion with French cuisine and of course the site overlooking the sea! From the first to the dessert everything to recommend.

Fantastic experience: A very good establishment with a view of the sea. The menu at 25 € including starter dessert + 1/2 bottle of wine per person is very correct. The cuisine is refined, full of flavors and the presentation just as refined. The welcome is warm and the servers and the owner are always smiling and attentive. For 2 years that we know this address, we are, with each visit, delighted and our palate too. I recommend +++

Fantastic experience: Perfect we came across this restaurant by chance on a bike ride and we really do not regret it. Lunch menu at 20 euros dessert entree plus wine. .

Fantastic experience: If you go through the Escala you have to come to this restaurant. It is just fantastic. Tasty and flavorful dishes with an exquisite presentation. The price falls short compared to the quality of the menu. Highly recommended.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: For the first time in L'Escala and had dinner at this restaurant which turned out to be a great decision. They have different menu offerings (between €28 and €45). Well made up plates with delicious food. The waiters and waitres are very kind and helpful to. This made it an excellent experience. I don't know if it's necessary but I would recommend to make a reservation.

Fantastic experience: Still a very classy restaurant in L'Escala, in top place, deservedly. Service excellent, French owner usually on the premises which is always a good sign. New location. The house wine is fine, otherwise there is an extensive and expensive wine list. Three levels of "menu". The basic one is excellent. The octopus was the right texture and succulent. Tempura of asparagus unique, and a great assortment of desserts, save space!

Fantastic experience: Excel·lent!!

Fantastic experience: excellent

Fantastic experience: Madness! What a great lunch. We were here on holiday 3,5 years ago and visited La Gruta in an other building. Now went again and this time visitited La Gruta two times. Except the location nothing changed. Well, maybe it even got a little better. Will visit L'Escala again, partly because of La Gruta.
