Local tip
A phone call ahead is advisable when fresh fish is requested, as it is prepared to order.

Restaurant Xabec is a home-style restaurant at Carrer Lladó, 6, in Calella de Palafrugell. Its cooking centres on fresh ingredients and traditional preparations, with local produce used across a menu that brings together seafood, meat, salads, cured meats, rice dishes and fideuà. The setting places the restaurant in one of the Costa Brava’s best-known coastal villages.

Rice is a central part of the restaurant’s offering, with rice dishes prepared as a house speciality. Fideuà provides another regional choice, while fish is cooked on the grill or in the oven. Fresh fish can also be prepared by request, making the restaurant a practical option for diners looking for a seafood-focused meal. Meat is cooked over the grill, and the menu also includes simpler choices such as salads and cured meats.

The style is straightforward and rooted in local cooking rather than formal fine dining. The emphasis falls on fresh products, familiar recipes and produce associated with the surrounding area. This makes Xabec suitable for a relaxed lunch or dinner built around shared dishes, a rice meal or a choice of grilled fish and meat.

The restaurant presents itself as a place for different occasions, including meals with family, friends or a partner. Its dining room has a calm character, and the service is organised around table meals rather than a quick stop. Calella de Palafrugell gives the restaurant a natural setting for visitors exploring the village and the wider coastline, while its address keeps the focus on the food and the local dining experience.

Reservations are handled exclusively by telephone, with the restaurant confirming the day and time of the booking. A phone call is also the appropriate way to ask about fresh fish prepared to order or to discuss a particular dining requirement before the visit. Restaurant Xabec suits diners seeking regional cooking, rice dishes, fideuà and grilled meat or fish in a relaxed Calella de Palafrugell restaurant.
