Restaurant Sa Cova
Costa Brava
At a glance
Restaurant Sa Cova is located on Avinguda Onze de Setembre, close to Platja d’Aro’s beach and promenade. Set within a hotel, the restaurant provides a modern and intimate dining room for meals that draw on the produce and culinary traditions of the Costa Brava.
The cooking combines traditional Catalan influences with contemporary techniques. The menu changes with the seasons and with the produce available, allowing the kitchen to work with ingredients at their best. Local sourcing is central to the approach, particularly with fish and seafood arriving from the Mediterranean. Vegetables and other seasonal ingredients also form part of the restaurant’s changing offer.
Sa Cova offers several ways to dine. The menu includes à la carte choices, tapas and rice-based dishes, alongside seasonal menus created by the kitchen. The style is suited to diners looking for Mediterranean flavours in a polished but relaxed setting, with enough variety for a casual meal or a more considered dining occasion. The emphasis remains on the ingredient, with familiar regional cooking given a more contemporary presentation.
The restaurant also caters to families. Dishes can be adjusted for children by simplifying ingredients, sauces or preparation, making the menu more flexible for younger diners. This gives Sa Cova a practical appeal beyond seafood-focused dining, while retaining the character of its Catalan and Mediterranean cooking.
Its location makes it easy to combine a meal with time beside the sea or a walk along the promenade. The nearby hotel bar provides a separate setting for drinks and cocktails, including indoor, poolside and terrace areas. Sa Cova itself is presented as the hotel’s restaurant, with an atmosphere that favours close, comfortable dining rather than a large or formal restaurant format.
Sa Cova is a suitable choice for diners seeking seasonal local cooking, Mediterranean seafood, tapas or rice dishes in Platja d’Aro. The changing menu means the selection follows the time of year, while the restaurant’s focus on nearby produce keeps the offering connected to the surrounding coast and region.
