I recently was in vacation with my family in Roses, Spain. We were looking for a good place to dine and we luckily found Pata Negra restaurant. I must say, it was an absolutely delightful experience. The food was not only delicious, but also beautifully presented. Each dish was bursting with flavor and made with fresh, high-quality ingredients.
I started off with the seafood paella, which was cooked to perfection and had a wonderful blend of flavors. The calamari was tender and the prawns were juicy - it was truly a seafood lover's dream. For dessert, I indulged in the crema catalana, which was a creamy and decadent treat that left me wanting more.
The service at Pata Negra was also top-notch. The staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. Thanks to Irina, Jean Michel and their son Joseph. Such a lovely family! They made sure that our dining experience was nothing short of exceptional. We are grateful for their hospitality and service.
Overall, I highly recommend Pata Negra restaurant to anyone looking for a delicious meal in Roses. The food, service, and atmosphere all exceeded my expectations. I will definitely be returning...
   Read moreSorry, but I can not recomend it. First surprise, a French guy handling a Spanish traditional food restaurant, that's what we call Epic fail!! A short masterclass about Spanish restaurants for tourists that should run away from these places: first thing a Spanish restaurant does when you sit down to eat, is serving you a small basket with any kind of bread and something to start to eat, like olives or chips. You do not need to ask for it. You can't call "tapa" everything. A "tapa" is a small portion, slice or piece of a main plate. It can cost 2 or 3 euros, maximum 4, but if it costs 8 or 9 euros, is not a tapa, it is a main plate (example, a tapa of meatballs include 2, half portion - "media ración" - includes 4-5 of them and "ración" is the whole main plate with 8-10 meatballs). If you choose meat or fish, not always but usually you will be asked if you prefer salad or potatoes with the food ("acompañamiento"). And finally, I have been student, do not try to tell me what is homemade food and what is industrial precooked food that you just warm a little bit before serving, I have fed myself for years with this...
   Read moreJe ne laisse que trĂšs rarement des avis nĂ©gatifs, mais ce qui sâest passĂ© au CatanĂ©grale mĂ©rite dâĂȘtre partagĂ©.
Mon ami et moi sommes passĂ©s devant le restaurant et avons demandĂ© poliment sâil Ă©tait possible de sâinstaller pour deux. Il y avait des tables disponibles, certaines visiblement non rĂ©servĂ©es. Pourtant, le propriĂ©taire nous a immĂ©diatement rĂ©pondu de maniĂšre sĂšche et agressive, sans mĂȘme nous proposer dâattendre ou de regarder la carte. Il nous a trĂšs clairement fait comprendre que nous nâĂ©tions pas les bienvenus.
Il nous a mis dehors en rĂ©pĂ©tant « Partez dâici, on est numĂ©ro un, on ne vous sert pas ». Aucun respect, aucun Ă©change, juste de lâhumiliation gratuite.
Je ne peux mâempĂȘcher de penser que notre apparence ou notre origine a jouĂ© un rĂŽle dans cette attitude clairement discriminatoire. Ce type de comportement est non seulement profondĂ©ment irrespectueux, mais potentiellement raciste. Câest une honte totale pour un Ă©tablissement ouvert au public.
Si vous cherchez un endroit chaleureux et respectueux Ă Roses, fuyez ce restaurant. Il y a heureusement dâautres Ă©tablissements dans la ville qui accueillent leurs clients avec respect, quelle que soit leur origine
Réponse au message du propriétaire:
Nous nâavons jamais Ă©tĂ© agressifs, insistants ni irrespectueux. Nous avons simplement demandĂ© sâil Ă©tait possible de boire un verre et grignoter quelque chose, en terrasse, comme le font des dizaines de clients chaque jour dans des stations balnĂ©aires comme Roses. Rien dâextraordinaire, ni dâillĂ©gal.
Ce qui est choquant dans votre rĂ©ponse, ce ne sont pas seulement les faits dĂ©formĂ©s, mais surtout vos insinuations personnelles, notamment religieuses et raciales. Oui, je suis maghrĂ©bin. Non, je ne suis pas musulman. Et quoi quâil en soit, ce nâest ni Ă vous de le supposer, ni Ă en faire un argument pour justifier un refus de service.
Aller jusquâĂ insinuer que nous serions sous âsubstancesâ, et que notre religion (supposĂ©e) justifierait votre rejet, est non seulement dĂ©placĂ©, mais totalement discriminatoire.
Vous avez voulu nous humilier. Vous continuez maintenant en public, avec des mots graves. Ce nâest pas simplement un mauvais accueil : câest une faute professionnelle, doublĂ©e dâun comportement qui devrait alerter toute personne attachĂ©e au respect, Ă lâĂ©galitĂ© et...
