Refugi de Pescadors
About
Refugi de Pescadors is a family‑owned seafood restaurant tucked into the picturesque bay of Palamós – Sant Antoni de Calonge on Spain’s Costa Brava. With two levels of dining space and a sprawling terrace overlooking the Mediterranean, the restaurant recreates the feel of a traditional fishing cabin, complete with marine‑themed décor, wooden beams and large glass windows that frame the sea. The menu is built around fresh, local fish and shellfish sourced directly from the Palamós harbour. Signature dishes such as the fennel‑flavoured sea bass, the classic bouillabaisse, and an extravagant paella with homard highlight its commitment to authentic Catalan cuisine. Visitors can enjoy a relaxed lunch from 13:00 to 15:00 and an evening dinner that runs until 21:30. Appetizers range from oysters and clams to a local “mariscada” platter. Vegetarian options are available, and the restaurant also offers gluten‑free and healthy‑friendly choices. Complimentary Wi‑Fi, wheelchair access, and high chairs for children add modern comforts to this family‑friendly destination. The ambience is enhanced by the striking sea view and nautical décor, making it ideal for a leisurely meal with a bottle of local wine or a quiet dinner after a day exploring the Costa Brava. Whether you’re a seafood aficionado, a family looking for a pleasant outing, or simply want to taste the flavors of a traditional Catalan fishing village, Refugi de Pescadors promises an enjoyable culinary experience that blends authentic dishes with warm hospitality.
