Es Baluard

Cadaqués


There may be roe-deer carpaccio and salt-sprinkled grilled asparagus on the menu, but the family behind Es Baluard clearly worships at the throne of Poseidon. Seafood dishes such as Cadaqués anchovies, spider-crab rice and suquet de peix (local fish stew) fill the menu. There's also a formidable selection of desserts including syrup-soaked figs and cream-cheese ice cream with orange marmalade.
