Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Beautiful location that we frequently visit. Sat opposite the church, and over the bay, amongst the pine trees, with flavours of Ancient Greece and Rome all around! A super walk along the coast, where we normally park, just adds to the splendour. Staff are friendly and efficient. The menu is comprehensive. Food served in good time and scrumptious! We will be back!!"
"We really liked it ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ it was delicious, salmon with guacamole was delicious, shrimp with garlic were also very tasty but not enough, and the platter with fish and shellfish was super, we were walking on the street and they immediately called us and said there was a place, we were glad that they called us!"
"Absolutely delightful Spanish seafood restaurant in a most beautiful location. The food choices are wide, and every meal i have eaten there was impeccable. Absolutely delicious and very well presented. Highest recommendation. This is not the cheapest place to eat, but for the quality of food it is definitely very reasonable. Their sangria is also superb!"
"This was a great restaurant and accommodating to my dietary needs. They also offer an English, French and other language menus to help when ordering. I ordered duck with rice. They put mango under the rice so be aware if you’re allergic."
"Nice terrace restaurant in a tiny beachside medevial hamlet next to the impressive roman city ruins of Empurries..friendly atentive service. Firsts- Mussels and pimientas al padron - both very good. Seconds - classic paella - also good. Desserts - xuxo ( in house made) very good Manderin sorbet - excellent. Washed down with a bottle of house white - drinkable but a little acid for me. All in all a good experience -next time we ll skip the house wine and get a bottle of white viña esmeralda."
"La Terrassa was a very pleasant surprise. We had a short stop in Sant Martí d'Empuries and found this restaurant by chance. The food we ordered was truly delicious and we enjoyed every single bite. The portions were generous and absolutely worth the price."
"Amazing food and amazing vibe. Horst served us and he was the most kind and attentive. We had an amazing time. The classic seafood paella is a must try!"
"Went here for food after a day of visiting the roman and Greek ruins and beach. What a gem of a place! The food was superb, the staff, especially Monica, wrre so welcoming and gave us great recommendations for the food. She also gave us a recommendation of where to visit next on our holidays which was greatly appreciated! Will definitely come back again"
