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.
