"Lovely service, lovely food. Basically traditional Catalan seaside cuisine which have been improved on a bit, with a few meat dishes. Good wine list, decent prices."

We had a meal consisting of the set menu, consisting of appetizers, main dishes and desserts. It was all wonderful. The restaurant served us a small appetizer with olives. We ordered as appetizers fried calamari, and croquetas of chicken and of cheese. Spanish croquetas have a thin crunchy breaded coat over a pasty filling. Both types were savory, and the cheese croquetas were filled with a kind of blue cheese, which kept its distinctive flavor but was not overpowering. Two groups of two diners shared two of the signature dishes at the restaurant: seafood paella, and seafood fideua. Fideua is a dish prepared much like paella, except using inch-long pieces of broken fideos, a fine noodle commonly used is Spain for soups, instead of rice. Both were excellent. I had the chicken, also very good. For desserts, we had chocolate soufflé with raspberry sauce which was not too sweet, just a little tart; sorbet de maracuya (passionfruit) which was also tart, but delicious in taste with a great consistency; mango ice cream, sweet and very creamy with a delicious flavor; requesón (a kind of creamy Spanish cheese) with layers of honey; and crema catalana, which is sort of like a Catalan version of flan with a surface of caramelized sugar, also delicious. All the desserts are house-made. The server was very polite, attentive and engaged, offering suggestions and demurrers as he felt necessary. The woman who served as the maitre d' was also very engaging, and described what were possibly her creations — the restaurant is small, and there were only the two of them in the dining room — lovingly, and made suggestions based on preference expressed. She may have been the owner; I didn't ask. I whole-heartedly recommend it for great food. It cost us €170 for 5 fixed-price dinners, a couple of glasses of wine, some soft drinks, a couple of bottles of water.
The waiter we had is what’s holding this place together. I don’t mean that the food is bad, but it’s just not inspired. I would never send out plates like this chef does. Fish without a single complement (and without offering one) bread from a bag from the freezer. My wife had the rape a la plancha. (Good) I had bacalao with pine nuts- also nicely cooked. But we won’t be back. There are too many places in Palamós that care much more about what and how things come out of the kitchen.
Very good traditional Mediterranean restaurant in the town center, many options of good quality, simple yet very well executed dishes in Mediterranean style. Menu allows for “tapeo” that means that you can try different local specialties. Very good products. Good service, close and friendly atmosphere, we were nicely recommended on the options. Nice local and Spanish wine selection. We had a lovely stay.
