La Blava

La Blava is a restaurant set beneath the traditional seaside arches of Port Bo beach at Carrer Miramar, 3, in Calella de Palafrugell. The setting occupies a fishermen’s house at the water’s edge, with an intimate atmosphere and an open relationship with the sea. The restaurant forms part of the waterfront character of this Costa Brava fishing village, where traditional houses and the Mediterranean remain central to the landscape.

The cooking takes its direction from the Empordà and from the Mediterranean diet. The menu is based on fresh local produce, with vegetables, rice, fish and olive oil among its main elements. Ingredients are handled simply and carefully, while the kitchen adds a creative touch without moving away from the natural character of the produce. The result is a style of food suited to diners looking for straightforward regional cooking rather than a formal or elaborate dining experience.

La Blava’s character comes from the combination of location and cuisine. Meals take place in a historic seaside setting, close to the beach and framed by the traditional arches of Calella de Palafrugell. Sea views and the atmosphere of Port Bo give the restaurant a strong connection to the village’s maritime identity, while the cooking keeps the focus on seasonal Mediterranean ingredients and the flavours of the Empordà.

The restaurant suits a relaxed lunch or dinner centred on fish, rice, vegetables and other fresh local produce. It can also appeal to diners interested in the food traditions of the Girona coast, particularly those who value a simple approach to ingredients and a sense of place. Takeaway food is also available, extending the restaurant’s cooking beyond the dining room.

La Blava operates seasonally from March to November. Reservations can be made online or by telephone, with bookings limited to groups of up to five people. The venue is located directly at Port Bo beach, making its seaside setting an integral part of the experience rather than a separate feature.
