马拉卡萨民宿

This simple “izakaya” is run by two young partners from the Dominican Republic who have embarked upon their first solo venture following several years working in restaurants in Barcelona. Thankfully, it has had a positive impression on locals thanks to their friendly approach and the varied selection of Japanese-inspired cuisine on offer, featuring an array of modern touches and dishes teeming with flavour. Here, you’ll also find the usual nigiri and sashimi, but almost everyone veers towards the crispy shiso starter with burrata stracciatella, truffled honey and Iberian pork jowl, the varied

Kaos is run by a couple, both trained in leading restaurants such as El Celler de Can Roca, Disfrutar, and Enigma. As you descend the stairs, you come to a pleasant bar crowned by an open-brick vaulted ceiling and, to one side, a modern dining room furnished in contemporary style. The à la carte takes its inspiration from what is available in the market, is reasonably varied and up-to-date in feel, and is always complemented by daily suggestions featuring local, seasonal ingredients (the famous Palamós red prawn, for example, is served as a carpaccio, cooked, or in croquettes).

The restaurant has its own vegetable garden, buys its fish daily from the Palamós fish auction and maintains a strong commitment to sustainability. The wine served here is sourced from small-scale producers, so it’s worth asking the owner to introduce you to some of these oenological gems!

This restaurant, housed in an old stone and brick building that captivates visitors with its rustic charm, is run by chef Alan Puche and features an open kitchen, a small bar for four diners, two dining areas with tables and... an open grill! The humble cuisine here is centred around the ingredients and tradition, with a wide range of dishes designed for sharing and some market-led options not on the menu. What to order? Try the Palamós red prawn salad with a vinaigrette made from the prawn heads, or the delicious fish of the day, marinated and smoked, with a gribiche sauce.

This historic establishment has taken a new direction under the leadership of chef Esteve Garcia and his partner, Celine Wu, who decided to pack their bags and leave their respective jobs in Singapore to embark on a more personal project, where Catalan cuisine is the epicentre of everything. They offer traditional-regional cuisine with modern touches, which takes shape under the umbrella of a comprehensive menu that includes daily specials, options for sharing, fish from the Palamós fish market... as well as delicious rice dishes and fideuás (minimum two diners).
