Service

The restaurant offers a 30&euro; menu with a good choice of dishes. The tuna tartare was excellent. As main courses, we ordered the cod with garlic muslin and veal fillet. The garlic muslin was tasteless. The veal was already sliced and irregularly cooked. Some slices were more cooked than others. A dessert of Catalan cream was far too dense.The lady who welcomed us was very attentive.

Excellent as always. This gem of a restaurant set by the side of the hotel pool is lovely in all seasons. The welcome and service is very good as is the food. Definitely worth a visit if in the area.

Great feel to the place , a lovely patio based in a beautiful garden location , food was good from a consise menu. Nice wine at reasonable price..

Everything was great. Food was really good.

Every year we come back to La Siesta because the staff are so lovely and friendly and the food is so good, and their wine selection is just perfect. Our favourite restaurant in France ????

Fantastic birthday lunch for my wife. Every dish was excellent with great combination of flavours, and the dessert with rhubarb was spectacular.

Incredible gastronomic experience in Empuries, they have a michelin star an it&rsquo;s worth it. Different dishes using local and ecological products, like this you can appreciate the richness of this area. I really recommend it!

Les Cols is a magnificent experience and especially for architecture lovers and design a must visit. The restaurant grows its own vegetables, herbs and animals, The service is immaculate and the food is stunning sometimes and stunning of &#39;design&#39; but also in tasing. The portions are big, so make sure you are hungry!!!Absolute worth the extra miles or the trip. And take your time, because it is a long lasting experience....

Absolutely wonderful. Salmon was cooked to perfection. Very friendly and attentive service. Will return over and over for the delicious food!

Been lucky enough to fine dine in Paris New York Sydney Singapour and Southend on Sea and Essencia&#39;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 .

The waitress who served our table was superb????food was great. Perfect ending to our two week holiday in Empuriabrava

Service food location everything was perfect!!!!

It was a shame that I wasn&rsquo;t aware of the building works being completed before I booked.  It was my birthday and I wanted to go somewhere special.

What an embarrassment. We arrived at the restaurant, advised the receptionist, and were then left standing in the entrance, no waiting staff came near us. After some time, the receptionist took pity on us and escorted us to a table in what appeared to be an annex to the restaurant more commonly used as a breakfast room, indeed we were seated adjacent to a collection of cereals.Eventually, the only waiter appeared and placed a scruffy sheet of paper on the table and disappeared, the sheet of paper turned out to be the menu but was so badly scrawled that it would have embarrassed an 8 year old child, worse still it contained a minimal choice of 2 starters followed by a fish dish and a meat dish, none of which was in the least appetising. Bearing in mind that it was the comprehensive menu displayed on their web site that attracted us to the restaurant in the first place we were all quite stunned, particularly since no explanation was offered.We stayed at the table for some time debating what we should do, during that time, the lone waiter never came anywhere near us, so we got up and left.To be clear, my low mark on food is simply because of the lack of any choice offered and the appalling way that the menu was presented.I know these are tough times and they may well have had a short-term staff crisis but there is no excuse for the way the restaurant was conducted, a simple phone call notifying us of a problem, an apology or an explanation would have gone some way to redeeming them but all we met was indifference.

Great surprise, delicious home made food ,  excellent quality , happy  and professional atmosphere, very reasonable prices . Highly recommended !

We had a very nice meal here. The food was very good, and a good choice of dishes on the menu.  We appreciated being able to choose one, two or three courses depending on how we were feeling.  The restaurant is well laid out with plenty of space between the tables.  Service is very good, and we were well looked after.  Dogs are allowed in the restaurant.

Great place to have dinner at! Service was quick and kind. A beautifully decorated place. Tasty, well served plates, come in very big portions. A pleasure really.

What&#39;s not to like?  Good quality food (fixed price menu at a great price), friendly staff, very clean and not too noisy!

Unavailable dishes only notified after ordering - not too many in, but initial service still slow. Having said that the food was very good !

This is a fabulous bar restaurant with loads of Cuban atmosphere. Brilliant music to dance to. Great vibe.

If you don&#39;t know where to eat, this is your place, homemade food, they use local products for prepare the meals. Canalons and the pork cheek piece also too (carrillera). The owners and the staff are very friendly and u feel like u are at home.

Well presented excellent food.  Valerie is always smiling, even though she is running the place single handed.

The ambiance of the restaurant is lovely and cozy, making it a perfect spot for a casual meal or a special occasion. I can&#39;t wait to return!

Nice authentic food from the region. Very friendly hostess. The prices are also very friendly ????The wine was good, it was a nice evening at a good place!

This place is a hidden gem! The cocktails are delicious, and the staff is friendly and efficient. The unique decor and atmosphere make it a lovely spot to enjoy a meal.

All aspects of this restaurant are good and when all parts come together it becomes a very enjoyable and tasty experience.

A very cute little restaurant that delivers way above your expectations. Situated down a narrow street in the old town, don&rsquo;t be put off by your initial impression. Very friendly service &amp; amazing food make this restaurant a bit of a hidden gem. Probably the best food we had over a 2 week stay.

Visited 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.
