Ferran Adrià said: “I remember, when I started out in my career, that whenever people talked about the cuisine in Catalonia, the name of Cambrils would come up”

The great work of the restaurateurs, as well as the quality of the products used in their kitchens, have consolidated Cambrils as the gastronomic capital of the Costa Dorada.

The Restaurants of Cambrils appear in all the media and are recognized by the most famous gastronomic critics of the country. We also find the only 2 Michelin Stars in the whole of the Costa Dorada.

The origin of the cuisine of Cambrils come from the "ranxo" (the mess food that the fishermen prepared on board). So, it is essentially a seafood cuisine where fresh fish from Cambrils is the protagonist. Small hake, anchovy, sardine, mackerel, octopus, horse mackerel, sea bass, turbot, sea bream, grouper, sole… And, of course, the galleys.
