"Excelente pescado i marisco. No és barato, pero es q lo bueno se paga. Excelente offer of seafood and fish. It's up scaling but worth to pay."

"Read reasons for a 3 instead of 4-star review. The restaurant, albeit old school, does not have a menu to browse from…or to even have a faint idea of prices of food. They will read you a list of fish they offer and basically you absorb all of that and tell them what you want. That’s it. If you are not from the area, then neither would you know what type of local fish they’re offering. 3 stars for this.
Portions are not big, nor do main fish dishes come with simple sides or anything like potatoes or some veg. What I do have to acknowledge is the fish (we had a turbot type fish “remol”) although quite small for 2 persons, was grilled PERFECTLY. Never have we had such amazing and tender turbot, grilled to perfection. Food quality is very good."

"Very expensive restaurant. An unfriendly lady quickly tells you in Catalan what they have there is no menu to read from. So you also don’t know prices. I didn’t understand anything of it. We where with a group so we ordered food that we could share. The food was not bad but ridiculously expensive. Never come back here."
