Just love this restaurant. The food is so fresh and beautifully cooked. Portions, even for menu del dia are large and the advice is friendly and attentive. We’ve been here many times as we live in Girona and it’s always a pleasure to introduce our friends to this special restaurant.

I love their concept of weighing and pricing the food you end up eating. You can customize the exact amount you want to eat.

Excellent food, but be forewarned that it is not a fixed menu and you will probably spend more than expected. You pick out what seafood you want, how much of each (by weight) and how you want it cooked. Then you can add sides. With one glass of wine each and no dessert, this meant two of us spent €105. Excellent food quality and taste.

This is a very busy place! The upstairs room is friendly, loud and bustling. It’s clearly a major business lunch locale. Service was very polite and friendly but for the first time ever in Spain I felt rushed. This isn’t an easy place to relax. Most of our food was great- Brie salad, crab rice, sea bream with vegetables, desserts. Fiduea was not so good though.

We liked the restaurant. When we came, we had to wait for a bit so they offered us a complementary glass of cava. You have to order the food first and then they give you the table. The service was fast, but we had to ask for alioli a couple of times before getting it. My biggest complaint is that, as soon as you put down a fork and put the last mouthful, they immediately come to take everything away from you. My partner wated to dip some bread in the sauce and they were already trying to take the plate. However, they are efficient, the ambiance is nice. We had mussles on vapor as a starter and they were delicious, very small, but fresh and seasoned perfectly. Afterwards we had fideuá de la casa which is with cuttlefish and it was good. The portions were very generous. They have a good selection of wine by glass, we had 3 different ones and they were really good. It was quite nice.

Lack of ambience more like a canteen, over lit with little personality Service was ok but staff seemed indifferent Sea bass filet had several bones so not pin boned before cooking Sauce was very salty and gloopy

Very good seafood, a bit pricy though. We ate for 50€/pax. On the day we went, we ate on the 2nd floor, the place was full and very noisy.

The ‘fresh seafood’ section is not part of a la carte apparently and prices are quite expensive for the quality.

Very good paella (you can ask for the dry version), grilled squids and croquetas very good service, pleasant and attentive. The place is a bit noisy but that's also part of the experience. Recommended!

The staff were very thorough describing the menu and the cooking methods and helped us choose fantastic food. They forgot the fries and we had finished our meal by the time they arrived. Very good wine at reasonable price. Very noisy sitting by the fish display as staff explained the menu to all customers on their arrival. Air con didn’t work well but food made up for that. Would go again.

Great fun, great food, lovely people. Pick your own fresh fish / seafood. Discuss how you want it cooked. Sit back and enjoy. Good value wine list too. Would happily go back on next trip. Bravo!
