TheForkUserWe booked a table indoors but when we arrived and decided to eat outdoors in the winter sun they were really helpful and quick in preparing a table for us. The food tastes really good and the price is good value for money. Perhaps the service is not fast enough but they are only two waiters for the whole restaurant. Very helpful and nice. The mussels a la marinerA, the squid and the octopus a la gallega were delicious. We did not choose the arrós caldos but we will surely do next time we visit this kind of let’s call it casual bar/tasca..
TheForkUserIt was my Birthday party and the ambiance was really good. There was just one waiter who was a little bit confused, but I think he was new and needed to learn how to do things. As a part of that everything was correct.
TheForkUserWe have visited this restaurant several times already. If you are a burger lover, it is your place. It offers a wide variety of juicy and savory burgers at an excellent price/quality ratio. The service is very attentive and pleasant. Go and enjoy!
TheForkUserDelicious food and the menu was very well priced. Really recommendable. We would definitely return. we particularly enjoyed the aubergine starter.
TheForkUserVery nice and cosy restaurant with a wonderful romantic location on the beach. The view is fantastic as the town itself. Very professional high-level stuff. Food was really good, specially liked the starters. Definitely recommend visiting it.
TheForkUserThe atmosphere was lovely and the staff were attentive. However the quality of the food was average and my dish had way too much rice and only 2 small prawns.
TheForkUserIncredible gastronomic experience in Empuries, they have a michelin star an it’s worth it. Different dishes using local and ecological products, like this you can appreciate the richness of this area. I really recommend it!
TheForkUserAbsolutely wonderful. Salmon was cooked to perfection. Very friendly and attentive service. Will return over and over for the delicious food!
TheForkUserMemorable place. Totally on the beach fantastic view. Very attentive service, professional and polite and amazing food. A place to book and book again and again to become your ‘usual’ spot to enjoy life. Very well done, team. Keep going like that.
TheForkUserExcellent service and slightly better food/presentation than other restaurants around. Lovely building/setting. Worth a visit. One main dish was very short on the seafood content (3 clams, one king prawn and 2 calamari rings) so not worth the price but other options good.
TheForkUserBeen lucky enough to fine dine in Paris New York Sydney Singapour and Southend on Sea and Essencia's food easily compares with them all. Lunch was delightful with a great selection, the local Rose wine was cold crisp and dry in fact perfect. We will be returning to sample the rest of the menu although our very helpful waiter did inform us that the menu changes every week so I can see many many visits in the near future .

TheForkUserVisited with our son and grandson. Plenty of choice and the service was quite quick, although the restaurant was busy. The robots making deliveries of orders was enjoyed by everyone, especially the children who enjoy petting them. Would recommend and will certainly visit again when next in the area.
TheForkUserExcellent food, service and value. We had the set menu for 26,50, which includes a glass of wine, 3 shared tapas, and a paella. Simply perfect. Moules very fresh. To much for two. We took our potatoes bravas home and even some paella
TheForkUserRestaurant with quality food and very diligent service. I recommend the croquettes, excellent. The girls ordered pasta and pizza and enjoyed themselves. These dishes were very appropriate for the little ones.
