Casa Del Mar - Palamós

I can’t understand the negative reviews. We have eaten here more than 20 times and it is a centre piece of our holiday in Palamos. Of course you are not going to get 5 star service at these prices but the food is always fresh (the owner has his own fishing boat) and always perfectly cooked. If you understand about food then you will appreciate this place. Furthermore 14€ for a 3 course set menu including a drink (we order 2 and they bring us the whole bottle). Thoroughly recommended.

The food is nothing special and not very fresh. The worst thing is the owner: very rude arrogant ripoff merchant! We asked for the price of the “gambas” (40 Euros) and decided not to have it. Next thing we know, he brings that same dish and despite us saying it’s not what we ordered he refused to take it back. After a while he came back and talked non stop about how he considers this to be “cheap” and that we should be grateful for what he had done… In short, horrible experience, avoid going there

This café came recommended by a lifelong local, as somewhere that local fishermen eat, as it 's right by the dock. Rustic place full of locals, as you 'd expect, but for my dollar, the food is overpriced for what/where it is. Wine bottle came to the table pre-opened and was filled with whatever plonk was to hand. We ordered a second bottle of the same, which was a completely different wine. Owner talked some b cks about it being a different year , which was a joke, of course, but he declined to change it. Not sure I got the joke. Table full of fish fry and two bottles of plonk came to €120 for four, but it was barely worth half that. Avoid, in other words.

We had a really bad experience in this restaurant. The food tasted really basic, and they were not fresh. Moreover, they were overpriced and had an awful service.

The last 20 years this place is our favorite restaurant in Palamos. The price for this outstanding quality is unbeatable. I highly recommend this place to anyone interested to taste the real spanisch cuisine!
