Restaurant Es Baluard

If I could give 6 stars I would. I came to this restaurant from the UK with my partner and now wife. We had our service here in Cadaqués and our marriage breakfast here with friends and family. The food was absolutely beautiful and the service above and beyond what we could have expected. The fish dishes, both starters and mains were incredible and the deserts some of the best we had experienced in our lives. The ambience, location and views are perfect if you want a view of the bay from your seated position. We will definitely return either as a couple or with a group. Thank you to all the staff for a truly unforgettable experience. 10/10 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

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.

- 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.

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

We were really impressed by this restaurant. Great food and wine and very nice service. We went for some sharing starters and then a selection of grilled fish of the day. We’ll be back.

Outstanding. Must try. Best turbot I’ve had. Best 3 tables are by the window.

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.

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)

The attention was impressive. The fish was the best selection. Particularly turbo Mariano's style was amazing. Our wine choice was Perafita picapoll and was the best marriage. The dessert are awasome.

This was, without a doubt, one of the best dining experiences we had on our honeymoon. The restaurant was recommended by our hotel, La Calina. I couldn't possibly say enough to justify how good it was. Our waiter was excellent and turned us onto one of the best red wines (Mas Polit) I've ever had in my life! If you are ever in Cadaques, definitely consider going here for dinner. The restaurant has a great ambiance and beautiful views of the water & Cadaques. We had a fresh salad and split the house-made spider crab and black rice dish for two. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!

In the impressive town of Cadaqués, Salvador Dali's homeland, it is this family ruled restaurant that offers some local seafood specialities, such as Spider crab rice that you can't miss. Nice selection of local wines produced in Cadaqués itself and all arround the sheer.
