Sa Marinada — Restaurant in Sant Feliu de Guíxols

Racist and discriminatory!

had an extremely upsetting and disappointing experience at this restaurant. My elderly grandmother, who has limited mobility, simply wanted to sit and pray quietly — in a corner inside the restaurant where no one else was around. We didn’t just assume it was okay — we asked respectfully, thinking that such a peaceful, personal act wouldn’t be an issue.

To our shock, we were told that her silent prayer would “make people uncomfortable.” That statement was not only unreasonable — it was deeply offensive. How can someone praying in silence, in a completely empty space, be considered disruptive or disrespectful?

We were also met with judgmental looks, and the staff member who spoke to us used a condescending, dismissive tone — as if we weren’t welcome there. The entire interaction felt racist and discriminatory, targeting us not for our behavior, but for who we were and what we represented.

No one should be treated like this — especially not someone elderly and respectful, simply practicing their beliefs in peace. This experience left us hurt, disrespected, and completely unwelcome. I won’t be returning, and I encourage others to think carefully about supporting a business that tolerates this kind of...

It turned out to be one of the most overpriced dining experiences we’ve ever had. The most concerning issue was that my friend was served fish that was completely undercooked. When we brought this to the staff's attention, they simply took the same piece back to the kitchen and re-cooked it, which was unacceptable for a high-end establishment.

After the second attempt, the fish was still not properly cooked, and when we expressed our disappointment again, the management offered no resolution, not even a discount.

The overall presentation of the dishes was very basic, lacking any visual appeal. Additionally, the staff was rude and inattentive; we had to pour wine from the bottle ourselves all the time and they struggled to answer our questions or make recommendations.

In the end, we were left with a hefty bill and a spoiled evening. I cannot recommend this restaurant based on...

Hard to communicate with staff as only one of them is barely speaking English.

Dishes are tasteful, but you basically have 2 options: 1) an individual dish with extremely little quantity and ~0 garnish (so you leave the table hungry). 2) a group dish (a big fish, for exemple, divided into 2 parts), but you don’t know which one as impossible to communicate with personnel.

It seems like all they want is you to order ASAP and leave (waiter constantly rolling his eyes like ‘🙄’). You need literally to ask several times to get a little bread to accompany your dish.

No true restaurant experience possible.. Thus the prices are too high for this service (100 € for 2 is a price of a gastronomic dinner of excellence in France, for exemple).

You leave the restaurant with...
