This house, founded in 1893, has been held in a passionate hand by the same family for four generations. In the pretty service room with its rustic decoration, you can enjoy Catalan dishes from the region, with an emphasis on Pyrenean products, all for an edifying quality-price ratio.

Francesc Xambó and Josi Salguero opened this restaurant in 1990. Not without having restored the th century oil press that gives him his name. The wheel used to crush the olives is visible outside, but the 1870-throne press in the main dining room. The framework is also the'River, with its ducks and geese that give all its charm to this place since it can be seen through the large windows, open in summer. The products of the Empordà are to the credit in this restaurant, which is still being stormed.

Trained in the kitchens of El Bulli (considered the best restaurant in the world until its closure in 2011), Oriol Castro, Eduard Xatruch and Mateu Casañas opened in 2012 Compartir. An eloquent name that means to share and that perfectly illustrates their philosophy. In concrete terms, you share the dishes at the table you are sitting at. Complex flavours and popular cuisine are the essence of the menu, which has also incorporated rice, langoustine marinades or cuttlefish and prawns from Cap de Creus. Reservation more than recommended.

Located inside the ramparts in the pedestrian area, the location of this restaurant will be its first asset: a charming and spacious terrace, sheltered by a typically Mediterranean Virginia creeper. And the view that goes with it, towards the sea and overlooking the rooftops of the citadel of Tossa. On the menu, you will have the opportunity to discover Catalan fish and seafood specialities. For example, choose spaghetti with black garlic and parmesan cheese or homemade paella. With an appreciable service, it is a good value for money.

Typical cuisine of the region to be tasted on the terrace facing the Ebro or in the rustic wooded room of this restaurant, which is certainly touristy but in a rather pleasant location.

You can taste very good specialties based on eel - we recommend the smoked eel, very tasty -, copious paellas mariscada (i.e. with seafood) and delicious grilled fish, all at very reasonable prices. The desserts are defensible but are not the strong point of the casa.
