    Toc al Mar - You are looking at $50 worth of fish. (À la carte. Nothing comes with it.) Does that look like $50 worth?

    If I say what I really think of this place, they won't post it. (The saltier air would match my…read moresalty language.) My dear friend Anthony Bourdain used to tell me about "the great bait and switch" that resturants like this do when it comes to Fish! The snapper here was much pricier than any other place in the area I have been to. Like REALLY high. Uh oh. We basically bought $200 worth of fish for 4 people. I told them that I wanted "the ENTIRE Fish." He asked if he could filet it for us " & I said, "of course, but I want the entire fish back." Very clearly. "I want the head ,the skin, everything." He repeated it back. He understood me. He smiled and brought back skimpy little portions. BAIT AND SWITCH! You're looking at basically $50 worth of fish (in this one picture). Bait and switch! I watched them do it. Beautiful setting, but the squat little man host was a real grouch, and I suspect it was because I was an American. He seemed to treat all the Americans poorly. The location is perfection, but the vibe is awful. Avoid this place. (In fact, there are better restaurants on the same beach.)

    Right on the beach with excellent service. But how is the food? Well if you like fresh fish it gets…read moreno fresher. They will bring the available fish to the table you pick the one you want they weigh it and that's that. The fish are usually of a size (around 1kg or so) so it is meant to be shared. They grilled it over an open fire sprinkle some excellent olive oil and some sea salt along with potatoes also grilled. They perfectly debone and present a gorgeous couple of fish fillets. A very fresh fish perfectly grilled. For an appetizer we tried a local fresh cheese served with olive tapenade and anchovies and an excellent crusty bread. Amazing! They have a very good wine list. We tried their house rose wich was cold and crisp and very well priced, overall a wonderfully place for a great meal. If you love chocolate try the profiteroles.

    Oh my goodness this is so good. If I ever go to Barcelona again I would come here…read more Must get: Steak with foie gras on bread 8/10: sooo decadent and luxurious. It's abt 8 euros a piece. Very flavorful and fast experience. Oxtail and mashed potatoes 10/10: the oxtail meet is so tender and flavorful. The mashed potatoes pair so well with the oxtail. Mushroom, steak, and egg yolk 9/10: soo flavorful and balance of veggies and protein. Amazing textures and flavors. Sparkling sangria: 8/10 I don't normally live the taste of alcohol but this was great. Not tooooo strong and if tastes pretty good if you mix it with the orange juice. Fresh orange juice: 10/10 so tangy and delicious. I can't recommend it enough. Patatas bravas: 9/10 solid no complaints! Dessert Tapas: - bread dessert (Tarija): 11/10 amazing dessert that is creamy, cameralized, and has a mochi like texture. This fried chewy dessert is not too sweet and such an affordable price. - coconut pudding 9/10 solid and refreshing if you like flan - bread, chocolate oil, salt 7/10: I live the complex flavors. The chocolate mousse was light and the bread to mousse ratio was perfect. It's a smaller dessert tho I wouldn't recommend it if ur sharing. Service: amazing! Staff I'm everywhere so it was very easy to order more food. Also we were sitting buy the area where they made dessert and they allowed me to record them making it!! Comfortable ambiance great for date night or casual meals!!!

    As an international traveling food critic and unbeknownst to the staff, the following is what I…read moreexperienced: - The host seated us next to a table of three self-absorbed, loud and obnoxiously nonstop talking late teens early twenties girls. - The food bus'ers attempted to deliver the wrong order to our and nearby tables five times. - The 1/2 order (three small slivers) tomato soaked bread (1/2 PA AMB TOMAQUET) was certainly not worth the €2.5! - The Greek Salad (ENS GREGA) was the worst example of such we have ever had (my party included an authentic Greek). The feta cheese was absolutely disgusting, it tasted like imitation rubber cheese. - The "Al Ajillo" Style Shrimps (GAMBES AMB ALLADA) had a very strange flavor within it, which overwhelmed the garlic flavors. - The Beef Tenderloin (FILET VEDELLA), she had to spit 1/4 of it out because it was too tough. - Everything was overpriced there for the value. If you are in the area DO NOT waste your time nor money dining here!!!

    One of my favorite dining experiences in Girona! The food was exceptional--succulent lamb chops,…read morerich and comforting cannelloni, and crispy fried artichokes with romesco sauce that I still dream about. To top it off, the cardamom-infused tea was a fragrant, soothing finish and the desserts...wow. The rustic setting added so much charm, and the owner was incredibly kind and welcoming. Truly an unforgettable meal and experience.

    Good food is easy to find in Girona. Exceptional food is more of a rarity. El Cul del Món hits it…read moreon the head; beginning with this beautiful stone building and impressive metal sign that greets you, big and bright windows are welcoming from the dark street outside. Everything about El Cul was divine. The appetizers (Moroccan salad, pumpkin soup, and meat selection) were tasty and just the right portion. The artisanal bread did come with a 1.10 supplement fee - kind of tacky but entirely worth it. And the olive oil? Good grief that stuff is liquid gold. Get the bread for the olive oil alone! My lamb shank entree was a very hearty serving and cooked to perfection. Crispy on the outside and succulent in. My friends had the chicken cannelloni which was much more petite yet still delish. (Save your pasta ordering for Italy. They do great rice dishes in Spain and this was tasty, but vai a Italia per la pasta della nonna!) Other friend's sea bass was cooked to perfection. Chocolate desserts, oh my! Yup, get those too.
