Lorraine and I have walked past this restaurant several times on one of our beach walks and recently we decided to treat our two daughters to a fine dining experience. The restaurant has a beautiful setting. We sat at a table that overlooked the garden and the sparkling Mare Nostrum as the Romans liked to call it. On a baking hot day we watched the shallow surf run up the golden sandy beaches and blessed the air conditioning in this delightfully spacious dining room. The staff were courteou and very efficient allowing their service to match the pace of our dining.
The quality of the cuisine matched the setting and for lovers of fish and shellfood this restaurant really is a must. My wife and one daughter had squid rings as a starter. This is a favourite of Lorraine's and it registered highly on her Richter taste scale. I had the local Xato salad which is one of the best I have eaten to date. For mains I had grilled fish which was superb, one daughter had Tuna as Lorraine devoured Gambas wrapped into small parcels with tender delicious Sole, the only disappointing dish was the monkfish which was quite tough, it is a meaty fish and none of us are that experienced in eating it. A fascinating part of the dining experience was watching the Catalans at the other tables; one couple were celebrating a wedding anniversary and a larger group someone's birthday. I am always impressed at just how much food the locals can put away at Lunchtime even if it's a special occasion. Both parties were highly complimentary about the numerous dishes they were served "Molt bé " being a popular refrain. I have fallen deeply in love with Catalonia, the delightful Catalans their restaurants and their cooking.
The postres trolley was very large and we turned it away as our two courses were substantial, the Catalans didn't and it was much lighter when it was wheeled past us. To complete the afternoon Lorraine and the girls walked through the surf into town a delightful way to compliment the excellent cuisine.
