Find out what Catalan restaurants to try in Costa Brava. Whether you're looking for sandy beaches, rocky coves, tranquil villages or mountain scenery, Spain's Costa Brava has something to offer you. Situated in the north-east of the country overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, the Costa Brava region enjoys hot summers and mild winters, making it an all-year-round holiday destination. There are plenty of opportunities in the Costa Brava to play golf, tennis or football, as well as to take part in water sports. The Sant Daniel Valley on the western side of the Gavarres hills has mountain biking and trekking paths with stunning views. If you are looking for a cultural activity, the Archaeological Museum in Banyoles is housed in a Gothic palace and has displays of paleontology and pottery as well as archaeology. Modern art lovers must not miss the Theatre Museum in Figueres which has a collection of Salvador Dali's paintings. At the end of the day, if you still have some energy, there is no shortage of nightlife in towns such as Lloret de Mar.

Chez Tomas

Reviewed By siobhan_peter

Once again the well organised team at Chez Tomas excelled from the cooking to the service and friendly attention. A great place to eat with a varied interesting menu. Half portion options is a clever offer to guests for both starters and main courses. Sea bass BBQ'd is a signature dish in my opinion. Excellent choice of local wines too. Essential to book saw many people turned away.

Bistrot El Patio

Home made Tapas Bar on seafront, chill out, cocktails and lounge music. Modern style terrasse with panoramic view from the Roses Golf to the Escala beach.

Reviewed By Andy B

We first saw El Patio walking back from the old town on the front and thought we would give it a try. We were not disappointed. The food and service from start to finish was flawless. Lovely, friendly service and the food was oh wow beautiful! We normally have 6/7 tapas dishes between two. The sangria is amazing, definitely worth a glass or two! It is by far bistro standard. Keep it up El Patio, we will return.

We stumbled on this restaurant whilst looking for the restaurant opposite - and were very glad we did! Extremely good food, fine dining at a very affordable price (€50 each including G&Ts and wine), great service (with good English!). The chef and the proprietor came out to talk to us - they’d only been open for 3 days and I’m sure this place will be a great success. Incidentally, far better than the place opposite which we ate in on another day and were disappointed. Well done all the staff team at l’Eixida!

This is the mediterranean place one looks for when travelling the Costa. Great food, fairly priced, friendly (english speaking) staff in a nice terrace setup (or inside). What a location to share food with family and friends. We decided to return this week and enjoy this new restaurant again. Do make reservations as the place is already popular.(Oh, and they do have fantastic mojito's)Dear MRE007,Many thanks for your kind words! We are very pleased to learn that you enjoyed your visit. Reviews like yours push us to continue putting good efforts to maintain the standards.We look forward to welcoming you again in the future.Best regards,La Brochette

Visited today for a bite, really easy going very helpful waiter.Six dishes, 1 beer and water later we were stuffed and extremely pleased we had chosen this restaurant. ☆The address for this restaurant is incorrect as it is on the front near to the port. We had tried to find the day before but only found it late on, well worth a visit.

Very small restaurant only 5-6 tables. Most of time occupied. Run by a “Mama”, who cares all for you. Unfortunately we only had a lunch since can not reserve again. All food was delicious including their hospitality before the meal. Mama was very sympathetic and kind. Strongly recommended.

Kept walking by here and was dying to try, they did not disappoint. We ordered catalan bread, small green picanto peppers, iberico ham and melon, fried calamari, steamed mussels, patata braves - all incredibly delicous. He had a beer and an espresso, I had sparkling water. In total the bill came to 49 euro which is incredibly well priced and reasonable. Do yourself a favour and eat here.
