Costa Brava offers authentic Spanish food in a warm atmosphere with exceptional hospitality. This charming restaurant is a neighborhood favorite, known for its romantic vibe and hidden gem status. Guests can share small plates, including tapas, and enjoy superb sangria. The service is consistently excellent, with a welcoming and quick staff, even when busy. For a better experience, it is recommended to ask about seating in the back patio.
Highly recommended dishes include SHRIMP & GARLIC BACON WRAPPED DATES, CHORIZO, and PATATAS BRAVAS. The paella mixta is also popular, although some guests have noted it could use more saffron flavor and socarrat. Appetizers like pan y Jamon and Torta de papa have received praise as well. Guests have enjoyed their experience by sharing small plates like octopus, lamb skewer, and mushrooms. The restaurant is a great place for those looking for good tapas and Spanish food, with friendly service and a cozy environment.
