Why Now Is the Perfect Time to Visit Spain’s Costa Brava | Vogue
"Antonella Tignanelli and David Caro are the duo behind Barcelona’s stylish Baldomero restaurant. Their latest venture, Margarita, brings the same convivial atmosphere and home cooking to the seaside town of Calella de Palafrugell. Inspired by “la dolça vida mediterrània”—a Catalan spin on la dolce vita—the breezy waterfront restaurant serves regional takes on classics like vitello tonnato and torta pasqualina in a homey space decked out in antiques, checkered floors, and billowing curtains. An instant classic." - Siobhan Reid

Wow. Great menu with a broad selection. Every dish seemed nice to pick and had a unique touch. The headwaiter gave us amazing recommendations. Literally all the dishes were so good. Location and interior 10/10. And not to forget; price quality was amazing.
Big compliments to the whole team :)
We will be back 👌🏽 thank you

Fantastic! Ended up going here twice - mostly because we enjoyed it so much the first time, but partly because it's one of the few places with good vegetarian options hehe. And the lemon and sage pasta was really, really good.
Service was pleasant on both visits. One we were lucky to sit out on the terrace and you couldn't really ask for a better place to have dinner! Lovely. The first time we were inside, but the interior was cool too.
I'd agree with one of the restaurant's earlier replies to an earlier review as we found the portions to be on the generous side!
Recommend booking in advance as both evenings we visited, it was full with reservations only.

The only reason I give 1 star less is because the older lady that was attending us was not friendly at all. We do understand that everyone can have a bad day but working in a restaurant you can at least try to speak kind to the customers and give a little smile. The place is very nice, feels like you’re at home. The food was delicious, lots of different and unusual options to choose from. Our only recommendation would be to serve water in closed bottles, as being charged 3€ for a tap or filtered water doesn’t feel reasonable.

A small restaurant right on the Palafrugell beach promenade, with a direct view of the kitchen where the delicacies are prepared!
The food is absolutely fantastic, and the waiter is super friendly and attentive.

We reserved a table because the day before the restaurant was fully booked.
First of all the pasta for our daughter arrived a few minutes after ordering. This was perfect. Second the food was very good. We got a table on the terace so we could enjoy the sea view. It was perfect for all three of us thank you 🤭

The restaurant is located just by the water, so you are in for a great view. The service is friendly. The food tasted good, but is quite pricey. The grilled asparagus was delicious and the Calamari croquetas were great too.

everything we tried was great but dulce de leche flan with chantilly cream was another level. Dont skip the desert, you will regret it. Also, I agree portions are pretty small. Can you just adjust the portions just a bit? 🫶🏻
