“ We came here 3 times in 4 days for dinner: by far the best experience we could have asked for. The food, location, and staff were amazing. All efforts were made to accommodate any guest or party size. Chef Jose personally spends time with each table and makes each guest feel truly welcome. ”
“ This is the spot in Tamariu for a great meal and epic views of the beach and sea. We had the mixed paella - the best we’ve had during our time in Spain. The staff were kind and accommodating. We plan to return! ”
“ I wasn't sure what to think of the other reviews. But I can confirm that this place is worth the money. I didn't try many other places in the area. My partner and I enjoyed tostada con tomato. Half portions of moules, small squid and galacians octopus, a main of lobster, a bottle of wine and finished it off a with a creme catalan for 80EURO. It was tasty. The service could have been a little more friendly. But it didnt stop my enjoyment. 5* ”
“ The best food in Spain! Seriously Not cheap, but definitely worth it! Also deserts were just perfect! Dorrada was excellent, chicken croquettes not just a nuggets. All food was so fresh and good! ”
“ We stopped for a late lunch (around 4pm) and started with their red sangria which was excellent. I would recommend the prawns in avocado and the garlic prawns. We were not impressed with their burnt cappuccino, but otherwise the meal was good. Nice views of the beach and sea. ”
