  Amazing quality food and lovely atmosphere under the castle walls. We were lucky to have been served by the owner and chef as we arrived when it was not yet busy earlier in the evening and he literally … More had the kitchen make bespoke dishes for me and the kids. A level of love and care for the food you only ever see in family owned places.

  We were able to get a table right as they opened without a reservation. The waitress was so so so friendly and helpful. The lamb was out of this world and worth going out of your way for. We also had … More the lobster roll and that was incredible too

  The food was spectacular, very beautifully presented and very delicious! And the service as well was AMAZINGGG. Our server Lucy was a star and made the whole dining experience so fun and welcoming, and … More the rest of the staff who attended to us was also so so kind and attentive. Oh and the cheesecake is just DIVINEEEE!! Thank you for such a fun meal!

  Meeting Carlos, the owner and chef of this restaurant, was a delightful experience. He not only owns and serves his own wine from a local winery, but his orange wine was among the best I've ever tasted. … More The food is equally impressive, crafted with local ingredients that enhance the flavors. Sitting on the patio, you can savor the wonderful weather and atmosphere while indulging in a variety of dishes. I highly recommend ordering a selection to share. The paellas are particularly outstanding and offer a unique twist compared to more traditional options.

  Absolutely loved our experience at El Petit! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented—from the seafood paella to the local wines, everything felt authentic and made with care. The staff … More was warm, attentive, and made us feel right at home. The cozy atmosphere and views of the Costa Brava coastline made it even more memorable. Easily one of the highlights of our trip—highly recommend!

  My partner and I had an amazing meal here (cod and lamb dishes with potatoes and fried onions). The service was great and the waiters clearly take a lot of care and pride in what they do (taking the time … More to explain where the wine came from, for example). Dessert was an amazing chocolate dish with gingerbread, sea salt and oil, which was unique but tasted wonderful. Would recommend to anyone looking for a nice evening out in the area.

  Food was amazing!!! We really regret that we only dined once there. We had a running gag for days telling each others: damn food was great there( but than also wanted to give other restaurants a chance … More and did not have enough time to come back...). A really special thank you for the friendliness of the staff, I hope they are valued since they are doing a great job. Congratulations!

  Everything was exceptional! The service was top notch, staff recommended us the house made AVA white wine and it was soo good! All the food was great and the dessert was 10/10 - MUST TRY THE XUIXO. One … More of our favorite dining experiences in all of Spain!

  We went to El Petit at the recommendation of the owner of the air BnB we rented for the weekend (a local). We have been in Spain for a month and this was the best meal we have had. The Tataki (beef + foi … More plus a delicious salty sweet reduction sauce) was the highlight as the starter. We also ordered the scallops (insanely delicious) plus the grilled octopus main. What a fresh delicious meal at a reasonable price considering that we also ordered dessert and some glasses of local wine. We are traveling with our 1 year old boy and the staff not only gave great recommendations for what to order, but they were also so kind and fun with our son. This is a can’t miss restaurant in Tossa!!

  If you miss the Tossa style Cod beautifully cooked here while visiting Tossa de Mar…you are making a big mistake! It was the best meal of our trip. The service was excellent, the Rosé cava dry and delicious … More and they even provided complimentary Limoncello at the end of our wonderful meal! Do not miss!

  A beautiful view sunset with delicious tapas and refreshing cocktails ! We had a wonderful time enjoying our tasty food and great company from their kind staff. Speaking English in Spain often causes some … More trouble but the staff here was prepared to navigate our language too! We will be back next time we are in town !!! Our server Jordi Pages was so sweet and very accommodating, all tables in view of the sunset were under reservations, he was able to move some things around to let the two of us soak in the view as well!!! 5/5 stars all around !

  The food is great with some unique dishes, especially for the price. There is something for everyone at this restaurant. We spent around 35 euros per person incl drinks and we were very satisfied with … More our 3 courses.The server explained everything very nicely and made sure we made good choices.
• Robert Solano ★★★☆☆ 2 weeks ago
  Your classic tourist trap. The only thing they have going for them is the location. While the servers were somewhat friendly, the food was straight up bad. We ordered a variety of tapas, including oysters, … More octopus, tuna, and Calamares Rellenos de Albondigas. The oysters tasted old, the octopus seemed like it had been refried or reheated, and the Calamares Rellenos were a complete joke—what we got were basic meatballs with no squid in sight. Save your time and money, and eat elsewhere… there are literally hundreds of options around.

  DONT GO THERE!! Go to Pini!The croquette ham unfortunately was cold, the scallops over cooked and in a potato kind of cream without any flavor. I ordered bluefin tuna, but it was a disappointment for me. … More It was really unclear on the English menu that it was the neck of the tuna. It looked like overcooked meat to be honest. The chef explained that this was what I ordered..The main point; it’s not clear on the menu for English speaking guests. Don’t expect a red looking tuna, but something completely grey.The people who work there are friendly and work hard but the owner (also the chef) did not think along at all. We didn’t eat anything of the tuna as we did not like it at all. 3 out of 4 dishes were not good. We shared this and the owner decided to do nothing with the bill.If you ask us, not smart and fair..Location is good and again the people who work there are nice.We paid over 100 euros without enjoying any of it… the tuna was about 21 euro. Just take it off because of the unclarity and it would fine.

• Fernanda Queiroz (Oficial) ★☆☆☆☆ 2 weeks ago
  I recently had a very disappointing experience at Restaurant el Petit. The service was terrible, with very few staff members to attend to customers. To make matters worse, the family who owns the restaurant … More was extremely rude and treated us poorly. I do not recommend this place to anyone looking for a pleasant dining experience.
• Marcel ★★★★★ 10 months ago
  This place is just amazing, best restaurant around. They grow their own tomatoes and few other vegetables as well, and you can notice the difference!

  Really friendly staff and owner, great presentation with the all the dishes.Outdoor seating is fantastic, with sun and the castle right next to it.
• Rachel Banner ★★★☆☆ 5 months ago
  Eating out in Spain is normally fun , this wasn’t our best experience.We waited , ignored for 25 mins after being seated , only to be told when the waiter came over that we were 25 minutes too late to … More order the set menu .Ok , so … we ordered a la carte and the croquetas were the size of marbles , the ‘tossa’ rice dish for two at €46 was tasty but a really small portion…. And they charge quite a lot for a tiny bit of bread.

  Lovely place, great food, the best wine. Waiters know their job, el Patron is present and comes to take the order.He is very passionate about his food and wine, what you will taste as well.
• Jamie Fogarty ★★☆☆☆ 4 months ago
  I wanted to like this place after looking at the ratings but unfortunately we didn’t enjoy our lunch. Our lunch was 95€, 30€ was for wine and this was the best part for sure, but the rest was for tiny … More portions of food that was over cooked (fish plate and duck plate). Perhaps it was because we were the last people before the 1600 closing and the kitchen staff were preoccupied with cleaning. But I spent a lot and I was still hungry and I didn’t enjoy what I ate.
• Robbie Harlow ★★★★★ 5 months ago
  Easily the best meal I had in Tossa de Mar during my 3 day visit. Friendly, easygoing service, fair portions for the lunch set menu, fresh and thoughtfully prepared food (fish of the day, calamari, lemon … More pie), relaxing setting. Definitely recommend.

  Always hard to find a good restaurant in such touristy places but El Petit is a great restaurant. Amazing food. Great taste. The black salt with pepper in the shaker was a great touch. Will definitely … More one back.

• valter Strömberg ★★★★★ 11 months ago
  Very good food and the owner was very nice. It is clear that he is passionate about food and even makes his own wine.We eat the menu for 38$ very worth the price and a lot food for the money.

  Menú de arroços i fideus molt correcte per 38€, tot inclòs.
  Entrant: Musclos, anxoves i steak tartar. Feia molt de temps que no menjava uns musclos tant bons.
  De segon varietat d'arrossos i fideuàs. … More Recuperant arrossos tradicionals que feien els pescadors. Arròs molt gustós i un xic "canyero". No hem deixat ni la vergonya...
  Postres: Pa amb oli i xocolata. El toc d'oli acaba d'arrodonir el postre. Si hi hagués hagut una mica més de xocolata hagués estat perfecte
  Tot regat amb un vi blanc de l'Empordà amb garnatxa blanca. Molt correcte, amb una acidesa marcada que el fa refrescant
  Finalment destacar el servei. Amable i amb ganes d'explicar la seva filosofia de cuina
• Joan Moreno dominguez ★★★★★ 10 months ago
  Dels millors llocs que hi ha a Tossa. Bona presentació dels plats, un lloc ideal, el servei de 10…igual que la qualitat del producte que estàs menjant. Varietat de menús per escollir.
  El Tiramisú el millor … More que he tastat mai. Repetirem sens dubte!
• Laura Boquet ★★★★★ a year ago

• cristina comas ★★★★★ 2 weeks ago
  Excel•lent. El servei amabilíssim. El xef ens va atendre personalment i les seves recomanacions insuperables. El millor arròs que he menjat mai, tant l'arròs amb carpaccio de gambes com el caldós … More de llamàntol. El vi de la casa blanc, molt bo. I important, ens van fer el menjar sense gluten, perquè un dels comensals és intolerant al gluten. El pa sense gluten boníssim també. Repetiremnsegur, ens va encantar.
