"Tras almorzar de maravilla en Cadaqués en un restaurante del que acabo de escribir una reseña, llega la noche y mi hijo me lleva a otro restaurante que nos ha encantado. Él se fió de las recomendaciones de sus compañeros de trabajo a quienes felicito por tener tan buen gusto. Pues este restaurante se llama Can Battle. A la llegada vemos una fachada de piedra preciosa, con las letras que forman el nombre del restaurante retroiluminadas. Una pequeña puerta con un escalón de bajada nos lleva a su pequeña recepción. Por un momento me desconcertó ver el restaurante así como muy vacío, pero cuando dije que teníamos reserva nos acompañaron a la terraza que está en el lateral contrario de la puerta por donde habíamos entrado. Eso ya era otra cosa. Claro, por ser verano montan todo el servicio fuera, en una placita preciosa de la localidad. Allí nos atendieron Ari, una muchacha encantadora y un camarero cuyo nombre no recuerdo que es igual de amable y simpático que Ari. Como nos gustaba todo lo que veíamos de la carta, nos dejamos aconsejar y acertaron de pleno. Platos muy ricos y muy bien presentados. Servicio excelente. Precio acorde con la calidad y el lugar. De postre, la tarta de queso estaba excelente y nos dijeron que la hacía Ruger (perdón si lo he escrito mal) Vino Ruger a traernos la cuenta y estuvimos un ratito charlando con él e incluso nos dijo cómo lo hacía. Un sitio para repetir PD: Perdón si la traducción al catalán no es buena, porque la he hecho con el traductor del navegador. Després de dinar de meravella a Cadaqués en un restaurant del qual acabo d'escriure una ressenya, arriba la nit i el meu fill em porta a un altre restaurant que ens ha encantat. Ell es va fiar de les recomanacions dels seus companys de feina a qui felicito per tenir tan bon gust. Doncs aquest restaurant es diu Can Battle. A l´arribada veiem una façana de pedra preciosa, amb les lletres que formen el nom del restaurant retroil·luminades. Una petita porta amb un esglaó de baixada ens porta a la seva petita recepció. Per un moment em va desconcertar veure el restaurant així com molt buit, però quan vaig dir que teníem reserva ens van acompanyar a la terrassa que és al lateral contrari de la porta per on havíem entrat. Això ja era una altra cosa. És clar, per ser estiu munten tot el servei fora, en una placeta preciosa de la localitat. Allà ens van atendre Ari, una noia encantadora i un cambrer el nom del qual no recordo que és igual d'amable i simpàtic que Ari. Com que ens agradava tot el que vèiem de la carta, ens vam deixar aconsellar i van encertar de ple. Plats molt rics i molt ben presentats. Servei excel·lent. Preu d'acord amb la qualitat i el lloc. Per postres, el pastís de formatge estava excel·lent i ens van dir que el feia Ruger (perdó si ho he escrit malament) Va venir Ruger a portar-nos el compte i vam estar una estoneta xerrant amb ell i fins i tot ens va dir com ho feia. Un lloc per repetir"

"This gets a star due to the rudeness of the waitress. We visited on a sunny but extremely windy Monday. Lots of free tables outside but only a few protected by the high winds. We sat at one of the more protected tables, but the waitress ordered us (literally) to move to the middle of the terrace where it was really windy and cold. When we asked why, she gave some ridiculous reason only she could understand. The table wasn't booked or anything! Obviously, we decided not to leave our custom to such people and left. It's a shame really how nasty staff can drive away customers... Thankfully, it was the only bad experience we had in the whole area."

"arrived today, Received an unfriendly welcome, no explanation about the hotel, the restaurants or the golf. We were a bit too early so wanted to wait at the pool, thanks to the (only) friendly lugage guy we found our way to the pool. The room is well maintained and a cot was placed. I am currently less than 12 weeks pregnant and am very nauseous at times, then I need to eat or drink. At 12 o'clock we couldn't get anything here, but after walking around for half an hour we finally found a restaurant where we could get sandwiches. (The others at the hotel were unaware of this). We had to wait half an hour for a sandwich, which almost made me pass out. After all, we had a long drive. Finally, we wanted to book a restaurant to have something to eat the first night, but fully booked. What bad service? Don't you save room for guests who have just arrived, or ask them on arrival whether they should reserve a spot? Especially since this village is completely empty and we have not encountered a restaurant anywhere. We asked a spoon in the garden restaurant to feed our daughter, was looked at completely askew, there was no smile. But the 2 handsome Spanish chicas were given a lot of explanation about the menu. Have to stay here for another 4 nights now, but don't really feel like it anymore. My husband speaks German, English and French. I myself speak English, but they only understand Spanish here. We asked the reception about attractions in the area, they recommended the castle. Once on arrival it was closed and the village was completely dead. Surely they should know this at the reception? We had completely different expectations from this 5??? Star hotel. Also given the many positive reactions and high ratings. We don't understand. We are a young couple and do not have high expectations."

"El producte exhibeix qualitats notables i una presentació meritoria. No obstant això, és imperatiu fer notar que tant el servei com la qualitat general no aconsegueixen correspondre al nivell que es podria esperar, especialment en consideració als preus que ostenta l'establiment. Per aquesta raó, resulta complex emetre una recomanació positiva en aquest cas."

"This was a real find for us. Our Aunty and Uncle took us here for a lunch time meal and we were really thrilled. Inside the old windmill there are lots of traditional nick nacks to look at, a great roaring fire (when cold) and a simple yet cosy atmosphere. The food menu is expansive so plenty of choice to cater for all needs, including one member of our party who was gluten free. We ate like kings! The 3 course meal comes with a half bottle of wine and water and was only 14 euros. Very very nice and a definite must try."
