The chef is a passionate enthusiast who likes to add a gourmet touch to every dish. Other plus points include generous portions, a well-appointed atmosphere and decor, and reasonable prices for the quality on offer.

The masia-auberge is also a very good place to taste the products, organic as much as possible, from the Catalan countryside: beef, fish, fruit and vegetables skilfully prepared, but also hearty paellas, not to mention the delicious calçots when the season arrives. A famous and popular address in a vaulted, all-stone setting.

Recommended stop to enjoy a generous Catalan cuisine based on grilled meats and fish.

Recommended stopover during a visit to the monastery: Ca La Tona is a small restaurant where you can taste simple Catalan dishes at any time of the day. Tapas, small sandwiches or more hearty dishes.

La Morera is a gastronomic restaurant with a classic decor, both intimate and subdued. It offers refined cuisine delicately presented on inspired and original plates: from the appetizers to the colorful and inventive homemade desserts, as well as succulent meat and fish preparations, you get what you pay for.

The Altafulla Buffet is located on the side of the road, right next to a gas station, and has a huge parking lot.

In the summer of 1982, Ana and José decided to leave the big city and move to the beach to open a small restaurant. Today, the business is in full swing, with fresh ingredients and a good dose of passion for cooking: Andalusian gazpacho, pork tenderloin with green pepperand superb homemade tiramisuare among the semi-gastronomic specialties of the casa. You will appreciate the kindness and discretion of the owners as much as the pretty terrace and its venerable olive tree.

In a pretty setting with lounge-bar accents, SaOna offers very good fish and seafood dishes for rather honest prices. All the products served are fresh and local (the chef selects every day his goods among the catch of the day) and the cocktails are small wonders: do not hesitate to try the mojito de la casa (house mojito) excellent! An address which falls at the right moment for the amateurs of marine sweets. The gourmands will keep a little space for the incredible desserts, very nicely presented.

Altaburg prepares a daily casero (house) menu, just a few steps from the beach, with a superb burger with homemade bread, made only with fresh, local products (the meat comes from cows from Vall d'en Bas, a green valley in northern Catalonia) as the centerpiece.

There are no bad choices and the chances are high that once they have been to Altaburg, demanding carnivores will return again.

Restaurant of regional specialities… and pizzeria! The room has a rustic decoration with exposed beams, the servers are welcoming for a very good family atmosphere. So we eat beautiful homemade pizza, but also tender pieces of meat, game and fish from the surrounding area, for a pretty honest price. Good wines. Booking recommended in season.

A place that is so valuable for its location - the restaurant and its white arcades overlook the sea from a cliff - only for the wonderful fajitas, but also the fish plates from by the chef. Reasonable rates.

The menu is well provided, ranging from salads to cold and hot soups, from canelons to main courses such as fricandó amb bolets, espatlla de cabrit and a whole range of grilled fish. As a dessert, homemade Catalan cream is a little wonder!

If from the outside nothing suggests a quality table, cross the threshold of La Toque and let yourself be deceived. Run by two brothers and their father from Haute-Savoie, this small restaurant offers inventive and delicate gastro dishes presented in subtle and colorful arrangements: from the starter to the dessert, it's a real show for the eyes and for the taste buds! The number of tables is voluntarily reduced in order to ensure a personalized service to the customers of the day, thus do not hesitate to reserve in advance. Warm welcome.

At the "Mille et une" you can enjoy very successful gourmet burgers, although a bit heavy in sauce. Efficient and cheap despite everything. Special mention for the "Cheese and foie gras explosion" burger! The specificity of the place is perhaps due to the choice offered for the meat: in addition to a nice selection of beef (American Black Angus, Japanese Wagyu, Asturian beef or Swiss Simmental), you can garnish your burger with ostrich, zebra, buffalo or kangaroo meat!

Located right on the beach, the Friends bar-restaurant is a quiet little corner of paradise where you can come for a drink or a meal. On the menu, plates of tapas to share, but also salads, some solid arrossos de marisc(seafood rice) and other typical Catalan seaside dishes. Nice decor, good music and friendly staff. The small shaded terrace is a treat when the sun is shining at lunchtime. Recommended address!
