Margarita

Margarita is a Mediterranean restaurant on Carrer Calau in Calella de Palafrugell, set directly beside the sea. Its setting is a former fishermen’s house, giving the restaurant a strong connection with the coastal character of the Costa Brava and the traditional architecture of the Empordà.

The menu takes Mediterranean cooking as its starting point while bringing in influences from other parts of the world. Fresh produce is paired with contemporary, inventive recipes, creating a style that moves beyond a strictly traditional regional menu. The result is suited to diners looking for familiar Mediterranean foundations with a more creative and international direction.

The restaurant presents dining as part of a broader Mediterranean lifestyle. The atmosphere centres on enjoying food, aperitifs, sea air and the relaxed pleasures associated with the Empordà. Decorative touches include ceramics from La Bisbal, connecting the restaurant with one of the region’s best-known craft traditions.

Its position beside the water makes Margarita a natural choice for a meal shaped by the coastal surroundings, whether for a leisurely lunch or an evening reservation. The space also works for a simple aperitif, with the seaside setting adding context to the restaurant’s food and design.

Margarita suits diners interested in Mediterranean cooking with international influences, a maritime setting and a venue that places regional culture alongside contemporary food. The restaurant operates with a seasonal schedule, so advance planning is sensible, particularly outside the main summer period. Reservations are available through the venue, and direct contact is the best way to discuss seating or dietary requirements.
