La Crema Tapas & Chocolate

5/5 ⭐️’s… Perfect for the whole family or date night! The atmosphere was classy, the food came out quick and attentive service. The traditional tapas come out individually so two per person plus an appetizer was the perfect amount of food for my wife, myself & our two year old. No reservations it’s first come first serve. If you are waiting on a table you can order a drink there or at a neighboring restaurant and open carry down to the park just down the street where you can see the ocean and kids can play in the grassy pavilion.

As a local from Destin, this a great day trip to Rosemary Beach and check out La Crema. We had ceviche and the seafood paella. Yea, oh my god it’s good! Will definitely be back for these items and to try other things! A month later we went back and had the Malaga Shrimp and the Local Catch! Yup, I will be back for more! lol

Reservations are not accepted so it's a get there and wait situation. You have a choice to eat outdoors or inside. Knowing this is the situation is helpful. U can grab a cocktail and walk down to the green space and look at the architecture and people watch. Once we were seated we ordered a bottle of wine, we picked a few items and enjoyed ourselves. Food was good, waitress was great. I'll return.

Fun and flavorful spot for sharing plates! Loved the tapas-style menu—everything we tried was delicious and perfect for sharing. Highlights included the Brussels sprouts, patatas bravas, Serrano-wrapped figs, crab cakes, fish tacos, and paellas. Bonus: there’s a kids’ menu and a fun chocolate fondue dessert! They don’t take reservations, but the system is smooth—you leave your name and party size, and they text you a link to track your place in line. There was a bit of a wait, but it was well worth it. Friendly staff, and great atmosphere with both indoor and outdoor seating along a scenic street near the beach—ideal for catching the sunset. Just be aware: parking is limited, so plan accordingly.

We recently had lunch at this restaurant. Overall, the food was decent, and we enjoyed our time there. The La Crema Latte was especially good—smooth, flavorful, and well-balanced. We also ordered Patatas Bravas, which tasted good but were served extremely hot—so hot that it actually burnt my tongue. Since this was an appetizer and not served in a skillet or any obvious hot dishware, we didn’t expect it to be that hot. It would have been helpful if the staff had given a quick heads-up about the temperature. A simple warning when serving extremely hot food would go a long way in improving the dining experience. Other than that, the rest of the meal was enjoyable, and the flavors were quite nice.

Thoroughly enjoyed the food and service here! There were many vegetarian and unique offerings- we particularly enjoyed the burssel sprouts, shrimp, and cheese/dessert fondue. Highly recommend!

Loved all the different options and being able to share everything with the table. The food was amazing and each fish brought on a new flavor. I wish I tried more of chocolate menu !

We stopped by during our Spring Break and it wasn’t too crowded. We ordered the ceviche, lamb chops, and seafood paella. We loved all of it! Great customer service and delicious food. A must try if you’re in Rosemary Beach.
