Restaurant Es Baluard

The location and the service is excellent. A bit hot inside for those summer nights. As starters we had: carpaccio and burrata with confites tomatoes both were very good. The main course was absolutely overrated and expensive for how it ends: entrecôte was supposed to be medium and it very bloody; plus the knife wasn’t appropriate for meat, didn’t cut. The French fries were very soft and oily. The dessert: lemon cream was very good. In conclusion overpriced.

Every visit has been brilliant. Great food, friendly, cheerful and helpful staff, can’t recommend enough. All the fresh seafood is outstanding and the wine list is fantastic & Aina’s advice always spot on. Going to this restaurant is one of the highlights of our summer. Thank-you

- Delicious paella with crab, fresh seafood, very good experience. If you want a good paella , come here (ignore reviews from French tourists) - Good quality food - Amazing choice of wines , I don’t remember how many pages… - Cozy interior - Nice views - Fresh breeze coming from the sea through opened doors and windows , it’s not hot in the restaurant - Experienced manager. Waiters may be need a bit more training. Good service in general, but some waiters forget which table ordered drinks, they wanted to serve us somebody else’s drinks, some waiters were walking by and accidentally pushing the back of my chair quite often without even apologizing, that was annoying. - We had to wait long to make an order, they prioritize local people who lives there, they took their order quickly and served them quickly even though they came after us, that didn’t feel good. - I didn’t like fish soup that much, it didn’t have rich flavor. Soup itself doesn’t taste much fish or seafood. If I’m in Cadaqués I would come here again for sure. I would try other dishes from menu. If you’re looking for a good experience - I recommend. It’s better to book in advance.

This is one of the best restaurants in the Costa Brava with a great location in one of the nicest towns in the area. Fresh, local produce made in local ways. Very interesting wine list with mostly Catalan wines. The only negative things I can say are that there’s no air conditioning (which can be hard in mid-August) and that it’s pricey (check the out of menu prices before ordering so there are no surprises)

Es Baluard has it all. The classic dishes perfectly seasoned, the creative ones, a solid wine list which has wine for every winelover even the most radical. Service is golden. Highly recommend

As you can tell, this chap is having a cracking time. The seafood dishes were delicious, my favorite being the crab rice. We were a slightly loud group and the rest of the place was super quiet so maybe better atmosphere for a date rather than a birthday dinner.

Nice place with good genuine food, the girls there are so friendly and professional, need to book personally or online.

Great views if you get a window seat. You need to reserve in advance. The market fish was limited to ordering 4+ people. Polite and attentive staff that offer preparing the fish by removing the skins and bones after presented, which is great. The downside is that they only really had 3 types of fish on offer: Pike (Lluç), Turbot and Monkfish (Rap). One can also order prawns and other crustaceans.
