Essència Mediterrània
Seafood restaurant · L'Ampolla
On the quay, a hundred metres from where the fish is unloaded. What comes in during the morning is what is served at lunch.
La criée
What comes in during the morning is what is served at lunch. There is no other way to do it: we are at the fishing port, and the distance between the boat and the table is measured in steps.
Delta oysters and mussels, clams, mantis shrimp when there is any, king prawn, octopus, bluefin tuna. The menu is what it is; what changes every day is what there is.
Zero kilometres, literally
La maison
El Pescador has been here for close to twenty-five years, facing the port. Exposed stone walls, wooden tables, blue and white crockery, and a terrace looking out on the boats.
The house is now starting a new chapter, with a new family at the helm and the same idea as always: produce from the Delta, rice done properly and a welcome like home.

El dia de Sant Joan vam anar dinar amb bones expectatives, però les vam superar, quina sorpresa trobar-nos una família de Lleida al capdavant del Pescador, molt bon menjar un tracte immillorable i força generositat! I una picada d’ullet a la nostra terraferma! De ben segur que tornarem!
★★★★★
Tracte molt bó amb diligència i cura. El menjar boníssim. Peix i marisc fresc. Recomano el Carpaccio de polp.
