Sotavent: Reviews
Fantastic experience:
We went for a family lunch on a winter day by the coast. The food was delicious, the staff super attentive and very friendly. The price was more than reasonable. Nothing more to add, simply, keep it up.

Fantastic experience:
with a lot of luck because it was a last-minute decision... Thanks to the staff, who managed our table despite the lack of a reservation. We won't do it again. We will call in advance. A selection of small fish and bravas and the rice, with pork belly, sausage from the pan, and mushrooms (basically camagrocs). We accompanied it with a Viña Sol. Everything was very good and we were very well attended. We will return with a reservation. Thank you.

The unbeatable place. The paella was super tasty with fresh ingredients, but the best part is the service, the attention is the kind you no longer find. Thank you very much, Sotavent team, for helping to create an unforgettable moment.

Unbeatable service. Unmatched attention. The food was great. Additionally, we asked for a glass to take home because we liked the design ('amunt Girona') and they gave it to us as a gift. You can't ask for more. Thank you very much.

Super well-located place. Quality food although the paella is not one of the best I've had; also, the price was a bit high, 189€ for a paella for 4 people, 2 starters, bread, water, and dessert. The service was a 10, very kind, attentive, and polite.

The staff is super attentive and friendly. The food is excellent and served with tablecloths and cloth napkins, which is not very common. Given the area where it is located, we thought it would have tourist quality, and nothing could be further from the truth. With views of the sea... I don't know what more you could ask for.

Fantastic experience:
We entered because of the good reviews we read and we were absolutely right. Unbeatable location, good facilities, excellent service from the staff. We had doubts about ordering a rice dish because my husband is an excellent rice cook, the one we had was exquisite, the homemade desserts were impressive. This restaurant is on my list of favorites.

Fantastic experience:
We went to eat last week, having reserved in advance. We had something light, a grilled turbot and some steamed mussels. The food was very good. For dessert, an indescribable torrija, surely the best we have ever had, being lucky enough to congratulate the chef before leaving. But the best of all -food, views, atmosphere..- was the extremely kind attention of our waitress, Lady-Leidi, who was the finishing touch to a delicious lunch.
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
Very poor value for money. We ordered calamari and fried fish and they were old, almost tasteless. The patatas bravas were like reheated and a very simple Caesar salad. We ate it because we were hungry and would hit the road. The only good thing was the view of the sea. I hope they improve.

Hello, I'm not a fan of leaving reviews, but in this case, I made an exception; I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. Both the chef in handling the product, the service for its kindness, and its price are cheap when eating the dishes since in other places they charge the same and it has nothing to do with it!!! In summary, a 10 in everything. I especially recommend the desserts: Torrija and milhojas. I'll definitely be back.

I went to dinner with my partner on vacation because I read that they had gluten-free options. Everything was very tasty: goat cheese salad, garlic shrimp, and lobster. We went back another day for the black rice and it was spectacular. The staff was very friendly, especially the girl who attended us, who clearly knew a lot about gluten. As a small detail, we asked for alioli for the rice and when we said everything gluten-free, we assumed it wouldn’t have any, but as we like to ask everything to confirm, they told us it couldn’t. These are details that if you don't ask can be annoying, but as celiacs, you must get used to always asking about everything, just in case.
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
We came for the positive reviews and were a bit disappointed. The waitresses did not inform us that there is a daily menu, which we already knew from the reviews. By the way, we did not receive the squid starter, meaning the same price but one less starter. We didn't say anything because we don’t like them either. The fideuà had a lot of noodle layers and a strong garlic flavor. The best was the dessert, although it was a bit overpriced. I wouldn’t repeat, but maybe it was just a bad day.

We had lunch here on Saturday after two scuba diving sessions and I have to say it was great. From the terrace, there are views of the wall and the beach. The food was very good; we ordered a vegetable paella for three and an individual fideuà and as you can see, the portions are very generous. We also ordered desserts and they were delicious. To top it off, the service was unbeatable despite being very busy because they were full. The waiters were super attentive and were not rushed like in most of these places. Our waitress in particular, Kenia, was very attentive and lovely. It shows that the place cares a lot about its relationship with customers. Highly recommended, really.

One of the best places you can find on this walk. They have appetizers perfectly mastered; however, I felt there was a lack of quality in the rice dishes.
A slightly negative point: A wine list with generally inflated prices.

Phenomenal! We loved it. The food was excellent, the service very friendly, and the desserts spectacular. The squid, croquettes, fried fish, and even the bravas were good. What a pity to have come on the last day of our stay in Tossa de Mar. If we return to this town in Girona, we already know where to eat.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
Despite the heat... everything has been perfect. Attention and kindness rated 10!! To start, anchovies 00 with bread and tomato and some light, flavorful squid bites with alioli. Some starters! To accompany a well-chilled bottle of Ribeiro with its ice bucket. And for the second course, a seafood rice for 3. The rice was al dente, just right in flavor and a good portion per person. For dessert, 1 crema catalana and two coffees. Total 117 euros. If we think about the location of the restaurant facing the sea, with the Tossa wall in the background plus the attentive, detail-oriented, and friendly waiters, you can't ask for more. Highly satisfied!!

A very good restaurant. We had seafood fideuà for two, it was very tasty. Unbeatable quality-price ratio. The owner, da nosa terriña, treated us to some shots after dessert. It is very well located, right in front of the beach. They accept reservations; we were not aware of this and even though the place was full, they prepared a table for two so we wouldn’t have to wait. Recommended if you go or spend your vacation in Tossa.

Beer, Frying and for dessert: Catalan cream. All gluten-free and very tasty.
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
Fast and friendly service, although they don’t serve wine while the waiters are looking on. Good desserts, although the torrija could be creamier inside (it’s about soaking it longer). Regarding the fish grill, I must say it shouldn’t have either dorada or lubina, but rather hake, monkfish, and cuttlefish. As for the seafood grill, apparently huge, if you remove the lettuce from the ends and the kilo of mussels underneath, it ends up being 2 prawns, 2 langoustines, half a lobster, and 4 clams and razor clams per person. It’s correct, but I won’t repeat. You have to acknowledge that it is in a prime beach location and the location is good. In the photo, is the largest and reddest seafood a langoustine? They told us it was lobster.

The coldest beer than your mother-in-law's heart! I loved it! The vegetarian rice was very good. The octopus was delicious. The bravas, the burger, everything!

A great place to eat. We were there the first day we arrived and went back again. It’s a restaurant located in front of the beach, with beautiful views and the service from the waiters was very, very good.

Family meal…. Starters to share and seafood paella. Correct amount of food. The shrimp carpaccio was lacking seasoning (needed salt and pepper). Correct paella. Desserts: excessive prices (abusive): typical chocolate coulant (bought frozen or refrigerated) with a scoop of vanilla ice cream 9€) and a pineapple cup with coconut foam and lemon sorbet 8€.... Really excessive.... Would come back, but without beers and without desserts we would have enjoyed just as much and for 23€ less.
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
The service is impeccable. They even gave us the leftovers in a takeout container.
The atmosphere is great, right in front of the big beach in Tossa de Mar, but unfortunately there are always people smoking outside and that ruins the experience of enjoying a nice meal at the beach.
The food, although passable, I didn't like much. I have to mention the squid, which I loved.
The price is on the high side. A meal for 2 people costs around 60 euros.

We went as a whole family, 18 people, and the food and establishment are 4 stars, but the service we received from all the waiters despite the large number of people we were was exceptional. We ordered a couple of burgers, paella for 3, seafood platter for 3, tapas for 3, 4 salads, among others, and everything was really good. The fish was outstanding; you could tell it was fresh. The presentation of all the dishes was a 10. I ordered tuna tartare, and the menu did not mention it had onions, being intolerant, I asked them to change it for a tuna salad and they changed it without a problem. Eduardo and the girl who managed the room made us feel very comfortable. A recommended place.

Positive experience:
First of all, I want to highlight the excellent treatment from the staff. I went alone and although it was very busy, they prepared a table for me in a good location, which I appreciate. To eat, I had escalivada which was good. Then I had a seafood paella that, while well presented, was somewhat lacking in its components; the flavor, in my opinion, did not match the price, but I ate it without further ado. The dessert, a coulant, was quite good accompanied by vanilla ice cream, coffee, and a beer. 40€. The price was high... if the paella, which was what I came for, had been of better quality, I would have gladly paid for it. In summary, good restaurant, excellent service; if I return to Tossa, I might eat asking for different dishes.

We loved it! We went for lunch yesterday and we will definitely repeat! Marina and Kenya served us very kindly, two very nice and attentive girls. The place has a very good appearance and everything was very clean, even the restrooms. The location is also very good, we were very calm and we could also bring our little dogs. And the food was spectacular, everything was delicious, plus I have intolerance issues and they adapted the dishes without any problem to what I could eat, they even had a gluten-free and lactose-free molten cake! The prices are fair, it’s not expensive. We recommend this place without a doubt.

In front of the beach of Tossa de Mar, a restaurant with somewhat high prices, but it's worth it because the secret paella and butifarra de perol are delicious. Fried fish is very fresh and tasty. And for dessert, the torrija is so good. Definitely worth repeating.

modern restaurant with a terrace facing the sea and with views of Tossa castle. We had some starters to share: fried fish, squid croquettes, and mussels with sauce...the mussels were the worst, for the main course we ordered skirt steak accompanied by truffle puree and the puree was very tasty....they also ordered paella which I do not recommend. For dessert, some torrijas with ice cream and spectacular coffees and the shots were on them without us asking for them. We were very happy.

Excellent food, plenty of it, and exquisite preparation, very, very good product. It's not cheap but you pay for what you eat, the bill doesn't hurt because the product is excellent and the preparation perfect. But even better than the food is the fantastic service from all the waiters and waitresses, very friendly and they advise you very, very well. Great experience in front of the sea.

Delicious paella. (20e) cooked in a broth that gave it a spectacular flavor, accompanied by 1/2 L sangria (9e) it goes great. The dessert toast with cinnamon ice cream was exquisite... and to finish off a coffee. And sitting outside looking at the castle of Tossa and the sea is perfect.

The truth is that everything was great, we arrived with a reservation at 2 PM and they quickly seated us on the terrace, they brought the drinks in no time, the wine sangria was spectacular. We ordered a goat cheese salad with fruits that was delicious and a good amount for two, for the second course we ordered two individual paellas (sea and mountain and the one with secret and butifarra) and they didn't take more than 20/25 minutes. The rice was just right and the rest of the ingredients were amazing. We also had dessert (molten cake and French toast), finger-licking good. In the end, the bill was a bit steep but it was totally worth it.

The staff is very friendly and attentive to ensure nothing is missing; they had a lovely gesture for my niece on her birthday. 100% recommendable, incredible location at the beginning of the seafront promenade. The paella is divine, a 10 without a doubt!!!

We had dinner after reading the reviews and they fall short! Good views, good service, and the best excellent quality of raw materials at a fair price. The drinks were excessive like everywhere else... the mussels exquisite, the anchovies delicious, and the sea bass a 10! To finish, homemade crema catalana! We will repeat without a doubt if we ever return to Tossa de Mar.

Positive experience:
Located on the front line of the coast. It doesn't mean you are at the beach, sidewalks, road... you see the entrance to the beach and the shower. With a reservation for being summer, good terrace. Correct and attentive service. We ordered some starters and rice dishes. The good thing is that many rice dishes are individual, so you are not forced to share paella. The starters were good, everything was nice. The calamari, just the right amount for €15. The rice dishes were tasty. The Iberian secret with mushrooms, with village sausage nearby... well, I didn't find the sausage! When I asked, they told me I won't see it. 'It's in the sofrito, sir, that's the flavor.' Well, they should change the name of the dish or leave a piece of sausage. Dry secret rice €19. Surf and turf paella €20. Yes, they are individual, but for the prices, a handful more of rice, which is the cheap part of the dish. The €€ for the wines, I opted for a beer.

The menu is varied. Good quality. Super clean, pleasant, fresh, with unbeatable views and location. The staff is very professional, attentive, and pleasant. Proper portions, well-presented dishes, made with love. I loved the homemade crema catalana. Impeccably clean and ironed tablecloths, which is always appreciated. It is also appreciated to find places like this in tourist towns in mid-August. Do call to reserve, as it fills up during both shifts.

In front of the beach, very friendly waiters, delicious food, very good desserts, but you must reserve because otherwise there won’t be a table. The only flaw, if I have to say something, is that the price is quite high. A black rice is 28€ per person and a seafood paella is 19€, I think the difference is very high.

The food is average, we ordered a paella that wasn't very good, whereas the fideuá turned out well. The 'bravas' were very large, hard inside, and with little sauce, while the clams and squid were excellent. Good service, the waiters were very attentive and friendly. It's okay for a quick meal on a beach day, but not worth repeating.

We spent the weekend in Tossa and wanted to eat at a beachfront restaurant with a terrace overlooking the sea. Looking at the reviews, we chose this restaurant and honestly, it was a very good choice. It has a terrace with views of the beach and a good awning that allows you to be there without problems or discomfort. We were at a table right by the line and we were perfect with very good, fast, and friendly service. As for the food, even though we ordered the typical dishes, it was perfect. We ordered some tapas to share: mussels in marinara sauce and Andalusian calamari and for the main, the classic seafood paella, in addition to a sangria (which was very good considering that anywhere you go on the beach calls anything a sangria). To sum up: The mussels were amazing and the paella was so good that we cleaned the plate, plus the weather was perfect, so there was nothing more to ask for. Just to mention a detail, in case the managers read this, the portions are not very generous for the price they charge. Without a doubt, if you like mussels, order 2 portions because otherwise, you will be short, and the same goes for the calamari. But as I said, we had a fantastic time, just enough to want to go again. See you later.

We went for lunch at midday as a couple and we have to say we really liked it !! They seated us on the terrace and seeing that there wasn't enough air flow, one of the waiters kindly opened part of the awning right away to create more ventilation. As for the food, we ordered some very tasty tapas and a delicious dessert !! They were kind enough to treat us to some glasses of cava. We left delighted both by the very friendly, approachable, and professional service of the team and by the preparation of the food. Highly recommended !!!! Thank you very much

Very good restaurant in terms of quality-price and the location of the place could not be better. I would highlight the creamy squid and the surf and turf rice, which was very good. The chicken fingers disappointed me a bit because it was simple breaded chicken, although it was good. The attention from the waiters was excellent. They were attentive at all times and very professional. I would repeat without a doubt.

We went this summer and I had intended to write this review. I can only say that we found it to be a great option due to its good location and the wide variety on the menu, and it did not disappoint us. I'm giving 5 stars because we hit the nail on the head with Sotavent and we've recommended it whenever we had the chance. The place is very pleasant, the views from the terrace were unbeatable (with the Tossa castle in front) and the food is very good and reasonably priced, in line with what they offer. That said, what I would highlight the most is the good treatment we received from the staff, they were very friendly. Additionally, they treated us to shots and I was gifted a very cute hand sanitizer, a gesture I want to thank from here. We would definitely come back, thanks!!

Lights and shadows. The starters were not what we expected. The bravas were either frozen or low-quality potatoes. The spicy sauce was extremely hot. The Andalusian squid was tasteless. We ordered black rice, and while the product was of good quality, it had zero flavor. Lacking salt or depth in the sauté. It's a shame because it looked great. The children's menu was fantastic. The macaroni was delicious. The dessert torrija was spectacular. And the service from the waiters was also a 10. It is very comfortable on the terrace. Price in line with the area.

A restaurant with a good location. We had patatas bravas and Andalusian squid as an appetizer, and they were not of very good quality, the product was not fresh. The children's menu was very good. As a remark, the Andalusian squid, the fish, and the black rice were very bland... we don't like excessive salt, but those dishes were really bland, we don't know if it is a common mistake in this kitchen. At coffee time, one was decaffeinated and the waitress, quite inexperienced, served them without knowing which one was the decaf... The staff's treatment was wonderful, very pleasant. A regular restaurant for a meal after a morning at the beach.

Wonderful food right on the beach. Amazing rice dishes, especially the black rice, top-notch. Very tasty starters: squid, house-style patatas bravas, and fried fish. And once you're full, the desserts come out. The cheesecake is excellent, but the warm French toast with ice cream is out of this world. Counting the days to return. Thank you for everything, the staff was very nice by the way. This is how you enjoy a vacation.
