Set Cafè, el bar de la costa de Banyoles: Reviews
Positive experience:
Good service and food with good value for money. However, they forgot to bring us some bravas that were indeed on the bill, but they resolved it when we mentioned it. Overall, a good experience with small details to improve.
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
The location is unbeatable, the service is alright although sometimes a bit slow. It's fine for having a drink, but I wouldn't go there to eat.
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
Just a cinema. Everything very correct.

Fantastic experience:
We ordered some bravas and some olives and they were good, the service was good too.
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
Bravas and chicken fingers are good.
The hummus is not hummus and we did not like it at all. It doesn’t have the traditional taste or color of hummus that you’ve probably eaten a thousand times in various places, with its nuances, but all with a flavor of hummus after all. There is no trace of the taste of chickpeas, tahini, lemon, garlic, olive oil. It’s a flavor that one can't recognize with their eyes closed and that the customer doesn’t expect when they order hummus. Also, it had a kind of spice or seasoning with a very intrusive flavor that we couldn't recognize.
In this case, I recommend putting the ingredients on the menu. Perhaps they’ve tried to be original, but in my opinion, they have ruined a dish that is already good in itself, very simple to make, and doesn't need to be reinvented.

The place was very nice, but the service was not very good as it was a place with so many tables and only one waiter; they took more than half an hour to come take our order.

We had the lunchtime menu here, and tapas: nachos with meat and cheese, yuca, and fried plantain (they put 5 pieces of yuca and 4 of plantain, I thought it was too little, but okay).

Always welcoming with a young and attentive service. The food is nothing out of this world but has a good quality-price ratio, we weren't looking for a great feast anyway, so everything was fine. Great as a stopover place.

How quick to serve the food, very top!
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
Prime location due to its setting. We had to wait quite a while for a salad and a sandwich, and in the end, we notified a waitress because it seemed they had forgotten about us... The food was nothing remarkable, not even the bread of the sandwich. In summary, if you want to have a beer with views of the lake and the sun, perfect. If you're looking for something more, this is not your place.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
Food and service more than acceptable in a quiet environment near the lake.

Over the long weekend, we were able to enjoy an incredible experience at a bar near Lake Banyoles. From the moment I arrived, the staff welcomed us with a warm greeting and exceptional service that made our visit very pleasant.
The bar had an impressive view of Lake Banyoles and a cozy, relaxing atmosphere.
But what really stood out from my experience was the attention to detail and the exceptional service from the staff. They made sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed at all times.
In summary, my experience at this bar was exceptional. The view, the food, and the staff's attention to detail made my visit an incredible and unforgettable experience. I highly recommend this place.

Dog friendly. Perfect place to relax with your dog after walking it. They have buckets to fill with water and cool off.

Pleasant atmosphere, in front of the Lagoon, it lacks natural juices and variety of desserts. I would remove the butane bottles and use paper individual covers, as it looks very ugly to eat without putting anything. Otherwise, very good.

Positive experience:
The drinks are good and they have plenty of staff, what confuses me is the outfit they have to wear, a "tutu with a headband", something that even they themselves are not happy with, because I saw how they told a girl that she had to wear it and she had no choice, the staff would look better wearing a uniform than with what they were wearing.

Positive experience:
Good! The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is that a brunette waitress didn't like talking to us in Spanish, she made a bad face, we thought she couldn't speak it, but she did it better than us (we still don't know how to speak Catalan) the rest was very very good! The salads and the slushies were very good.

A very pleasant place, very educated and friendly staff, we liked it a lot, we will definitely come back. The food is very tasty and of quality, and at an affordable price. A large terrace with several different areas, overlooking the lake. They have a lot of variety, tapas, sandwiches, salads, some grilled food, cocktails, artisan ice creams... And dogs are welcome, they even have a corner with water bowls and a fountain where you can take a bowl and fill it yourself. Great.

Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
An ideal place to have an appetizer or a light dinner in the evening, facing Lake Banyoles, with relaxing views and several routes that can be taken on foot or by bike around the lake.
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
A great point and end to the circular route, in our case around two in the afternoon, so we decided to stop for lunch.
The menu is not very extensive but more than sufficient and varied to quench thirst and hunger.
Everything they served was good and quick, and also at a reasonable price.
The staff was very friendly and attentive. With plenty of shaded areas very suitable for summer and dining on the terrace. The views of the lake help you relax.
One more plus is that we could access with the dog and they also allow you to give them water in special buckets provided for them.
