Everyone gets the same ingredients from the same fish market, but somehow they just prepare it better.
Fish and sea food only, pricey but worth it

Lizarran
14 Avinguda Fages de ClimentThe best tapas bar in town.
One of the best Thai restaurants you are likely to find in Europe also does great sushi, which seems like a strange mix but it works for us.

For grilled meat - steaks, chicken, butifarra - this is the place we like to come. Char grilled the over cinders in front of an open fire.
"Did they only charge us for one glass of wine?" "No, that's the price of a bottle"

Drinks & Nightlife
Situated off the road and next to the canal, this little spot gets the last of Empuriabrava's evening sun. Great place to meet for a pre-dinner drink.

We like to enjoy a glass of cava in the bar here. The restaurant is very popular, not one of our favourites but you don't have to take our word for it.

Parks & Nature
Backing on to a nature reserve, the beach has no building development, only camp sites which are set well away. In the summer, wooden bars (xiringuitas) pop up, serving drinks and food. There is a safe swimming area with a lifeguard.

You can't entirely miss the Aiguamolls nature park; Empuriabrava is surrounded by it. But to see spectacular species including nesting cranes, head for the Centre del Cortalet.

You can't go to Cadaques without feeling the influence of Salvador Dali. This was where he lived, and it is well worth a visit. Access is limited so you will need to reserve a spot in one of the regular guided tours.
