La Clota has the best location of any restaurant I know, and quality to match. I've read a couple of negative Tripadvisor reviews, but I don't recognise the place those people describe and in my opinion they should have their teeth removed before they damage the reputations of any more establishments. I've been a client there for 25 years, and... More

Wonderful family, food, staff, view and service. After 25 years it's still my favourite restaurant to go to. If you're in L'Escala try to go there, especially for the menu del dia.

My husband and I spent a lovely evening there a couple of weeks ago. The service was good and the food diveine. I have had a number of Paella, but this was probably one of the best. And the Sangria, was nothing sort of divine, not bitter or over powering like you generally find. The view of the harbour at... More

We have been here several times. The quality of the food is highly variable.The quality of the steak leaves much to be desired even when it has been returned once and replaced. Unfortunately it is living off its past reputation , very dated and food not well presented and can be very pricey. The owners dont seem interested in complaints

We visited La Clota again during the Regatta in L'Escala and so the restaurant was very busy as it overlooks the Marina. This made the atmosphere even more interesting than usual. The meal was once again first class and the attention of John and Kathy as ever was great. The weather was very hot even at 8pm even sitting outside,... More

I visited La Clota on the back of good recomendations. Maybe it was an off-night, but my experience was not good. La Clota has a great location overlooking the harbour. I do feel you pay for this location. We chose the 20Euro carte. Starter and dessert were ok, but the Fideua was burnt and contained virtually no seafood. I did... More

Whether you have lunch or an evening meal, John will serve you great food. The fresh fish is superb, the lamb always first class, and if your in a hurry the chicken curry is hard to beat. But make sure you try the pic-a-pic. I have eaten here for over 30 years, and it always is a must visit each... More

The chateaubriand here is our favorite, good quality meat and cooked exactly as requested. We usually manage to eat here three or four times in the year when we are over from UK. Cathy and John always very welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. Excellent views over the marina, choice of eating inside or out depending on weather. Well... More
