About Casamar
Why consider Casamar
Casamar is useful for couples and small groups looking for a considered Mediterranean meal in Llafranc, particularly when quality and atmosphere matter more than a highly theatrical tasting-menu experience. The restaurant sits inside the family-run Hotel Casamar, above the bay, with hillside views across the beach and coastline. Its cooking is rooted in Catalan and Mediterranean traditions, led by chef Quim Casellas.
How to plan the meal
The format changes the experience. À la carte is the flexible choice, with a dedicated rice section and a lower-commitment route for lunch. Dinner suits the longer Degustación menu and a more occasion-led pace; the Punta d'en Blanc menu is another set-menu option. Casamar is priced €€€, and its Michelin Plate recognition in 2024 and 2025 supports its reputation for consistent quality.
Before you go
For July and August, plan to contact the hotel around two to three weeks ahead; May, June, September generally require less urgency, but advance confirmation is still sensible. No online booking system is listed in the current information, so contact the hotel directly. Smart-casual dress fits the setting. Check the current menu, format, availability before travelling.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Casamar sits above Llafranc’s horseshoe bay, where the room’s sightlines across the water play as important a role as the kitchen. The restaurant’s long family history and restrained Mediterranean approach give it a timeless, classic charm: tradition is respected, technique is selectively modern. The setting—small fishing-village scale, low coastal hills and a quieter bay—creates an intimate, contemplative atmosphere that prioritises provenance and place. The dining experience feels deliberate rather than flashy, with the coast and Girona countryside serving as both backdrop and inspiration for dishes that lean on clarity and honest flavours.
Best For
This is a destination for evenings when the view matters as much as the food: think date nights, milestone dinners and celebratory meals that benefit from a coastal setting. The hotel context and the restaurant’s positioning within Catalonia’s fine-dining corridor mean guests come expecting thoughtful cooking rooted in local produce, often for dinner. Travelers who value scenic sightlines, regional identity and a composed, low-key dining room find Casamar especially rewarding. It’s less about loud spectacle and more about considered dishes paired with the calm of a protected Costa Brava cove.
Ordering Tips
Focus on plates that signal the restaurant’s coastal and regional commitments: dishes that spotlight the Mediterranean and the Girona countryside are central to the kitchen’s logic. Expect preparations that preserve local flavours while applying contemporary technique, so order items that feature the day’s catch or seasonal produce. If you want the full sense of place, request a table with water-facing sightlines—the view is integral to the experience. Because the menu leans on local provenance, follow the server’s guidance toward what’s freshest and in-season rather than seeking heavily altered or internationalized options.
