El Roser 2
Costa Brava
At a glance
El Roser 2 is a maritime restaurant on Passeig Lluís Albert in L’Escala, with a setting beside the sea and a menu rooted in the food traditions of the Empordà. Its cooking follows the character of the coast while allowing room for contemporary ideas, creating a style that moves from traditional seafood cuisine to more personal and imaginative interpretations.
The kitchen places emphasis on seasonal cooking and on the quality of ingredients sourced from nearby ports and local gardens. The result is a menu shaped by the changing seasons rather than a fixed approach, with seafood and other regional produce treated with respect. The restaurant’s culinary identity balances the measured, practical side of Empordà cooking with a more expressive spirit.
Several menu formats reflect that range. A tasting menu presents a more current view of the kitchen, while the seafood-focused option centres on produce from the sea. Maritime and classic menus provide more traditional ways to experience the restaurant’s cooking, and a seasonal weekday proposal offers a more casual format. The menu selection gives the restaurant flexibility for different dining occasions, from a considered meal by the water to a simpler visit focused on familiar regional flavours.
El Roser 2 also offers takeaway food inspired by traditional Catalan cooking and the restaurant’s earlier fonda-style roots. That option extends the same regional focus beyond the dining room and provides a practical choice for meals enjoyed elsewhere.
The setting and cuisine make El Roser 2 suited to diners seeking seafood-led cooking, Empordà traditions and a meal connected to the coastal character of L’Escala. It is also a relevant choice for visitors exploring the Costa Brava who want a restaurant where local ingredients, seasonal changes and a maritime setting are central to the experience.
