Mar Salada - Altafulla, Tarragona

An unforgettable experience! We started with razor clams and mussels in white wine, both absolutely delicious. For the main course, we had an incredible black paella, bursting with flavor. And to top it all off, the best torrijas I’ve ever had! The service was exceptional, and the sangria was simply perfect. Can’t wait to come back!

Sat right next to the beach for amazing views and weather. Seafood was very fresh.

We arrived with a reservation. Waitress was rude and couldn’t even be bothered to say hello. Then was extremely rude when we asked if we could sit on a different table and told they were all reserved. So we didn’t sit and went elsewhere where the service was amazing and very friendly.

We were staying at May Altafulla hotel and did not expect such poor and unprofessional service from restaurants within the Aquamare group.

Shame I had to give 1* and not zero.

The food was ok, no complaints - I had pan con tomate and grilled John Dory. However, it was the service - or the lack of service - that really ruined this place. I don't know if there is not enough wait staff and they are overwhelmed with orders or if it was a particularly bad day or if all the servers were hung over, or what. But - ordered a glass of wine, waited 20 minutes, finished my fish, the wine, or the server, never arrived. Then ordered a coffee and the bill from the same waitress who forgot about the wine Same thing. No coffee. Finally, after waiting for 30 minutes for no wine and no coffee - walked into the restaurant to ask for the bill. All I got was a lukewarm apology. No offer for a coffee or some kind of recovery. If the manager/owner reads the reviews, you have a problem with either overworked staffed, understaffing or some other issue on the floor. I would avoid this place and pick some other establishment that actually want to serve their patrons food and drinks.

Very nice food. Right on the beach. Highly recommend. I had monkfish, which was delicious. Would suggest getting a side if you don’t have a starter.

The food we had was great. Nice selection of tapas. The staff was friendly and definitely willing to provide recommendations on what food to try. The messed up on the drinks and I believe they simply forgot the order. Location on the promenade is great and you can even get a table on the beachside.

Nice place with good food. Sitting beachside was a lovely experience. I ordered the cochinillo and it was really tasty. I liked that it came with an apple purée and some glazed shallots which made the dish super delicious. The skin on the pork was nice and crispy too.

Nice and cozy place to enjoy near the sea with some dishes prepared with some love. Definitely a must go if you're around, or make an excuse to go only to enjoy the place and food.
