Restaurant in Palamós, Spain
Michelin Plate fusion that earns its price.
Entre dos Mons is Palamós's most interesting dinner booking: a Michelin Plate (2024, 2025) Catalan-Peruvian fusion restaurant in a restored fisherman's house, sourcing fish daily from the local auction and running three set menus alongside à la carte. At the €€ price tier with a 4.5 Google rating across 388 reviews, it delivers a serious, award-recognised meal without the booking friction or price of the Costa Brava's starred tables.
Yes, if you want something genuinely different from the Costa Brava's default seafood-and-rice circuit. Entre dos Mons is a Michelin Plate holder (2024 and 2025) serving Catalan-Peruvian fusion from a restored fisherman's house on Carrer de Tauler i Servià. It sits in the €€ price tier, meaning you get a serious, award-recognised kitchen at a price point that does not require much justification. For a special occasion dinner in Palamós that goes beyond the predictable, this is the most considered booking in town.
The setting is the first signal that Este dos Mons takes its cues from somewhere other than the Costa Brava postcard. The old fisherman's house gives the dining room an architectural honesty that purpose-built restaurant spaces rarely achieve — stone, worn timber, and a footprint that stays intimate. Visually, it reads like a space that has been taken seriously without being overdressed. For a date or a celebration dinner, that matters: the room does the heavy lifting on atmosphere without tipping into formality.
The kitchen backs the room up with a philosophy that is unusually coherent for a fusion concept. Fish is bought daily from the Palamós fish auction — one of the most reputable on the Costa Brava , so the Catalan half of the equation is as local as it gets. The Peruvian influence is the chef's own, not a trend grafted onto a Mediterranean base. The restaurant also maintains its own vegetable garden and sources wine exclusively from small-scale producers, which shapes both the menu and the list in ways you notice at the table.
Entre dos Mons runs à la carte alongside three set menus: Seasonal, Tasting, and the house menu called Entre dos Mons. For a special occasion, the Entre dos Mons menu is the most complete argument for what the kitchen is doing , it gives the chef room to move between Catalan technique and Peruvian flavour without the constraints of a single-dish order. The Seasonal menu is the better call if you are visiting in summer and want the menu to reflect what is coming out of the garden and the auction that week. À la carte suits groups with mixed appetites or anyone who wants to eat lighter.
The wine list, sourced from small producers, is worth treating as part of the meal rather than an afterthought. The owner is the right person to ask for a recommendation , the database notes this specifically, which suggests it is genuinely worth doing rather than a standard pitch.
Palamós runs on a strong seasonal rhythm. Summer brings the coast to full capacity, and a Michelin Plate restaurant with Google reviews sitting at 4.5 across 388 ratings will fill quickly in July and August. Book ahead for those months, though the booking difficulty rating here is listed as easy by Pearl's standards, meaning you are unlikely to face the weeks-long waits that define the hardest tables in the region. If your trip is flexible, shoulder season , late May, June, or September , gives you the leading combination of good weather, a quieter room, and a kitchen that is likely working with strong local produce from the garden and the auction.
Midweek evenings tend to be calmer than weekends year-round, which matters if conversation is part of why you are booking. For a date or a small celebration, a Tuesday or Wednesday dinner in June hits almost every variable correctly.
The honest answer for Entre dos Mons is that takeout and delivery are not the point here. The kitchen's output , fresh auction fish, garden vegetables, a Catalan-Peruvian fusion format built around set menus , is designed for the room. The fish sourcing, the wine service, and the context of the old fisherman's house are all part of what you are paying for. If the database held delivery or takeout data, it would be worth flagging, but there is no evidence this restaurant operates in that format, and nothing about the concept suggests it should. Book a table.
In the broader Costa Brava context, Entre dos Mons sits well below the price and booking friction of the region's Michelin-starred heavyweights. For reference, El Celler de Can Roca in Girona and Cocina Hermanos Torres in Barcelona are operating in a different stratosphere of price and difficulty. Entre dos Mons gives you a Michelin-recognised experience at an accessible price tier , that is a meaningful gap in the market. For Peruvian-influenced cooking elsewhere in Spain, Quique Dacosta in Dénia is the regional benchmark for Mediterranean-meets-creative cooking, though it operates at a much higher price and formality level. Internationally, ITAMAE in Miami and Causa in Washington D.C. represent the Nikkei and Peruvian fusion format done at a serious level if you want reference points for how the cuisine can perform.

| Entre dos Mons | Peruvian | This restaurant, which occupies an old fisherman’s house, serves a fusion of Catalan cuisine combined with the flavours of Peru, the chef’s homeland, all showcased on an à la carte plus three set menus (Seasonal; Tasting; and Entre dos Mons). The restaurant has its own vegetable garden, buys its fish daily from the Palamós fish auction and maintains a strong commitment to sustainability. The wine served here is sourced from small-scale producers, so it’s worth asking the owner to introduce you to some of these oenological gems!; Michelin Plate (2025); Michelin Plate (2024) | Easy | — |

Key differences to consider before you reserve.
For a different angle on the local catch, La Salinera leans into straightforward Costa Brava seafood without the fusion layer. Kaos and DVISI are worth checking if you want a more contemporary or drinks-led format. Matsu Izakaya offers Japanese-inflected small plates if you want to stay off the standard regional circuit. Entre dos Mons is the clearest choice when Catalan-Peruvian fusion and a Michelin Plate credential are the deciding factors.
The venue occupies a converted fisherman's house, so the layout is intimate rather than bar-forward. Bar seating is not confirmed in available records. If counter or walk-in dining is the priority, check the venue's official channels before assuming that option exists.
The fisherman's house setting suggests a compact room, which can limit flexibility for larger parties. Groups of four or more should contact the restaurant in advance to confirm capacity and whether a set menu is required. The three set menu formats (Seasonal, Tasting, Entre dos Mons) make group ordering more manageable than a fully à la carte approach.
The kitchen's clearest strengths are fish sourced daily from the Palamós auction and produce from its own vegetable garden, so dishes built around those two pillars are where the Catalan-Peruvian concept lands most convincingly. The wine list pulls from small-scale producers — ask the owner for a recommendation rather than defaulting to the obvious choices. Specific dishes are not confirmed in available records, so treat the set menus as the safest way to see the full range.
At the €€ price point and with a Michelin Plate for 2024 and 2025, the Entre dos Mons tasting menu represents good value relative to the region's starred alternatives. If you want to see how the Catalan-Peruvian concept holds together across a full progression, the house tasting menu is the better choice over à la carte. For a single lunch or a more casual visit, the Seasonal set menu is the lower-commitment option.
Yes. The €€ pricing sits well below the Costa Brava's Michelin-starred restaurants, and the Michelin Plate recognition in both 2024 and 2025 confirms the kitchen is operating at a level above most comparably priced options in the area. Daily auction fish and a dedicated vegetable garden are concrete inputs that justify the cost, not just marketing copy.
Yes, particularly for a couple or a small group that wants something more considered than a seaside seafood terrace. The converted fisherman's house, the house-named tasting menu, and the owner-curated wine list from small producers give the meal enough structure for a celebratory dinner. For a larger group celebration, confirm space availability directly with the restaurant first.
