Hostal La Llagosta
Costa Brava
At a glance
Hostal La Llagosta combines a restaurant, a small hostal and a seafront setting in Llafranc, on the Costa Brava. Its character is closely connected to the fishing traditions of the coast and to the produce of the surrounding Empordà region. The atmosphere is familiar and relaxed, with the bay providing the setting for both meals and overnight stays.
The restaurant focuses on seasonal coastal cooking and market cuisine, using contemporary culinary techniques alongside traditional regional ingredients. Seafood plays an important role, with fish sourced through the Palamós fish market. The kitchen also works with Girona beef, Pals rice, Empordà wines and produce from its own garden in Palafrugell. Other local products, including cheese from Ullastret and milk from Fonteta, are part of the restaurant’s wider commitment to nearby suppliers.
The menu includes starters, meat, fish, rice preparations, house specialities and dishes that reflect the ingredients available during the season. Rice dishes are a particular focus, while the broader selection allows the restaurant to suit meals centred on seafood as well as those looking for meat or vegetable-led options. The cooking remains rooted in the food traditions of the comarca while allowing room for more modern presentation and technique.
Dining areas include an outdoor terrace, an interior space with views towards the sea and an indoor dining room with a fireplace. These different settings make the restaurant suitable for a casual meal by the bay, a more sheltered dining experience or a gathering organised around a special occasion. The venue also prepares meals for anniversaries, celebrations and groups, with arrangements available by request.
The hostal provides a straightforward base in Llafranc for stays connected to the restaurant and the bay. Its long-standing local identity is reflected in the emphasis on seafood, nearby farms, seasonal ingredients and a calm, family-oriented atmosphere. Hostal La Llagosta suits diners seeking regional cooking in a maritime setting, as well as visitors looking for accommodation with a restaurant on the waterfront.
