Restaurant Marisqueria Xaco

Restaurant Marisqueria Xaco is a seafood restaurant on Av. del Cavall Bernat in Platja d’Aro, at the entrance to the town. The address places the restaurant in a coastal setting suited to a meal centred on fish and shellfish, with the Costa Brava’s maritime character reflected in the cooking.

The restaurant developed from a fish shop with live tanks for lobster and other seafood into a dining venue. That background remains central to its identity. The kitchen focuses on marine cooking and market-led preparation, with fish and shellfish supplied fresh before service through local fishing connections and family networks. The approach is closely tied to the surrounding area rather than to a fixed international style.

The menu follows a homestyle tradition designed to make seafood approachable for different generations. Careful preparation and the natural quality of the main ingredients are more important to the restaurant’s character than elaborate presentation. The result is a straightforward marisqueria built around the produce of the sea, with the daily catch and available shellfish guiding the offer.

Restaurant Marisqueria Xaco suits diners looking for a dedicated seafood address in Platja d’Aro, particularly those interested in fresh fish, shellfish and regional coastal cooking. It also has a family-friendly character in the broad sense of a homemade kitchen intended for younger and older diners alike. The restaurant’s identity is local, traditional and closely connected to the town’s relationship with fishing and the sea.
