Cafe Dali - Calonge

Llegamos tarde con la cocina por cerrar y nos atendieron de primera. Pedimos fideuá para seis y maravillosa, riquísima. Una amabilidad insuperable.

Me sorprendió ver que habían cambiado de local a unos 100m. Ahora se encuentra en la A. Cataluña nº 19 enfrente de la nueva parada de taxi. Fuimos recomendados por unos amigos y sinceramente que excelente!! El mejor arroz que he probado en la Costa Brava. El dueño superamable y simpático nos explicó su experiencia de más de 30 años en la cocina. Volveremos sin duda. Nos fuimos con un buen sabor de boca y con ganas de volver un trato y un menú excelentes.

We decided to stop here for a quick lunch but could not get over the value. The set menu at €9.50 included starter, main course, dessert and a bottle of wine or 1.5L water or beer per person. That could be two bottles of wine for two people??? How can they make a profit. The food was OK, starter of lasagna could have been a main course. We had two cornetto ice creams for dessert.

Grabbed a table outside. Busy road but pleasant. Menu is simple. We had a selection of Tapas. All were tasty. The service was quick and friendly. Great value too.

We came across Cafe Dali purely by accident, it was the first place to eat when we got off the bus from Girona. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and we grabbed an outside table. The menu del dia was just 9 euros. Comprising 3 proper courses with wine, we chose the paella-style arroz to start, which honestly would have been a more than decent lunch in itself. Mains were half a rotisserie chicken and pinchos (grilled spiced pork fillets served kebab-style), both with fries and utterly delicious. Desert was a chocolate tart, again super. A decent bottle of cava set us back just another 9 euros. Littletouches, such as cold drinks served in iced glasses, linen napkins and an ice bucket for the cava were appreciated, too. It was around half way through that I realised I'd left my day-sack on the bus. A very helpful staff member (S) got hold of the bus company and they dropped it off on another of their buses shortly after. Fantastic, and can't thank her enough! All in all, then, a thoroughly brilliant experience and two pieces of good fortune in the space of one meal-time.
