You’re in the Costa Brava, Catalonia by the sea, so it’s fish – on the terrace if it’s warm enough, in the glassed-in bit behind if it’s not. Splendid fish it is too, served by bright-eyed staff confident that what they’re bringing is worth their while.
Suquet (fish casserole) is a speciality, though I was just as happy with the lobster’n’clam soup. Baby octopus and txipirones (baby squid) will please those who like their meals with a tentacle or two, while cod balls might surprise those who didn’t know that cod had...
If fish isn’t your thing, go for rack of lamb – and then puds homemade by Adelita, nicely billed as “mother of the house”. Think £25-£30pp for dinner. Then think yourselves lucky.

Elizabeth Taylor and Kirk Douglas passed through in the days when the Costa Brava was exotic and impossibly distant. The parties were legendary. Or, as the hotel itself puts it, “its famosity was reaching superior levels”.
