Restaurant Nou Aquàrium

Restaurant Nou Aquàrium is a Mediterranean restaurant in Santa Margarita, Roses, close to the beach and the coastal setting of the Costa Brava. Its cooking is centred on fish and seafood, with products associated with the Bay of Roses forming an important part of the menu. The restaurant also serves rice dishes, fideuà and tapas, creating a choice of seafood-focused meals and more informal plates.

The kitchen follows a traditional approach based on local produce and familiar Mediterranean flavours. Fresh fish and seafood are central to the restaurant’s identity, while fried fish prepared in an Andalusian style adds a different influence to the menu. Tapas provide options for sharing, with the selection combining classic bar-style dishes and regional ingredients.

Rice dishes are another defining part of the offering. The menu includes several preparations of rice, as well as fideuà, making the restaurant a suitable choice for diners looking for a seafood rice meal near the coast. These dishes sit alongside fish, shellfish and tapas rather than replacing them, so the menu covers both substantial meals and smaller plates.

Nou Aquàrium has more than three decades of experience in hospitality in Roses, and its stated approach is built around tradition, quality and knowledge of local products. The result is a straightforward restaurant style focused on the ingredients, with the Bay of Roses providing the connection between the location and the cuisine.

The restaurant suits diners looking for Mediterranean cooking in a beachside area of Roses, particularly those interested in fresh fish, seafood, rice dishes, fideuà or tapas. It can work for a relaxed meal near the coast, with the menu offering both shareable plates and fuller seafood-based dishes. Restaurant Nou Aquàrium is located at Avinguda de la Platja, 21, in Roses.
