Restaurant Els Tinars

"This restaurant has played an important role in the history of Costa Brava tourism. It occupies an old yet attractively restored farmhouse with a luxuriant garden-terrace for the summer months, an R&D space where new dishes are created, plus a bright, Mediterranean-inspired interior. Chef Marc Gascons and his sister Elena (front of house) are responsible for the entire experience here, which revolves around an extensive and up-to-date à la carte of traditional Catalan cuisine and the best local ingredients sourced from nearby producers and the superb fish auction in Palamós. Two interesting set menus (one short, seasonal option, plus a tasting menu) are also available. One of the most requested dishes here is the tartare of Palamós prawns, which comes with different garnishes depending on the season. Guests who drive here are given a code for the external car park, which now has charging points for electric vehicles." - Michelin Inspector
