La Taverna del Mar

In frontLa Taverna del Mar, in the bay of Sant Pol de S’Agaró, is in an idyllic location on the Costa Brava. The lounge and terrace are a wonderful balcony overlooking the sea. Its iconic “Banys de S’Agaró” with the colourful huts have attracted thousands of photos and instagramers. In 1929 the restaurant of the S’Agaró baths was built and part of the original terrace of the baths was used as annexes for its bar services.

A few years later, that terrace burnt down on a winter night in 1935, and Folguera was already in charge of building the Taverna del Mar in its current location, the inauguration of which took place on Sunday 19th July 1936. With the passing of time and with the help of Mr. Ensesa Montsalvatge, son of the founder, La Taverna del Mar became a reference point due to its excellent location and tourist offer.

After his death, the concession of La Taverna del Mar passed into the hands of his daughters Julia, Virginia and Carina who finally took over the project in 2014, and honouring the history of this family, they opted for an elegant and quality project. To this end, they commissioned the designer Lázaro Rosa Violán to design the decorative project with very clear guidelines for the appearance of the new Taverna del Mar, respecting at all times its origins and location.

La Taverna del Mar is nowadays committed to the quality of what it offers. In the kitchen, with chef Lluís Planas at the helm, the protagonist is wild fish, rice dishes and seafood from the Mediterranean coast, and on the outdoor terrace there is a snack menu that can be enjoyed from breakfast to lunchtime aperitif and a selection of tapas in the afternoon after a good swim.

In the evening the recently opened Chill-out will be open for another year with the best views of the bay of S’Agaró and a varied offer of cocktails and drinks to enjoy the night by the sea and in the company of the best chill-out music.
