Restaurant Miramar — Restaurant in Llançà

Amazing chef! Really ingenious, creative and intensive dishes. In that regard this place is top notch. The setting is picturesque! Beautiful with spectacular views. It’s a Relais & Chateaux property, with two Michelin Stars! They have 5 hotel rooms that I fully plan on staying at one day. The food itself is very modern.

They are saying now some weeks later that they lost money as we didn’t turn up. I only knew who had taken the 480 euros from my Spanish bank account on my return to Spain in October. A...

Experiencing the tasting menu is something extraordinary. It goes beyond perfectly-prepared delicious dishes, and impecable service (by very nice and unostentatious staff :).

What makes the experience special are the cleverness of how different techniques and influences are brilliantly applied to clearly convey ideas and themes of interest of the head Chef. It is a pleasure to see how elements of Japanese Kaiseki, or the tea ceremony (even elements of Chinese cuisine?) are adapted to create something unique, smart, and interesting.

The final touches that made this dinning experience unforgettable are the beauty of Llançà's port, visible from the main dinning room, and having access to the freshest seafood available. They are right...
