Escalipatxo - la Bisbal d'Empordà

We have visited Escalipatxo twice this summer and we were very pleased both times. This a very simple but nice place located in the main square of la Bisbal. The food is excellent and very reasonable. The first time we had home made nuggets for my son, an hamburger, a tomato salad (amazing) and some pasta with sea food, everything very nice. The second time we went on a Thursday where they have a menu at lunch time with paella for 15euros. Someone who knows la Bisbal and the area very well had strongly recommended the rice. And she was right. It was the best we had in the whole summer. It is a rice with both meat and fish, a bit stronger than the usual paella, but very tasty and really good. Amazing discovery. We will definitely be back, and if you decide to go I advise you to book in advance, particularly in the summer. Also, just in case you like live music, they organize concerts at lunch time many Saturdays during the summer. Kind of Hard rock music so if you don't like this avoid those Saturdays. But if you do, you cannot miss it. The whole square is dancing and the atmosphere (100% local) is quite unique.

Apart from being slow, and servicng us poorly there was an “incident” while we were there, a table umbrella wasn’t fastened down correctly and blue away, this landed on the next table hitting someone hard on the head and breaking a glass sending the broken glass into a child’s pram. The waiter took for every to come out and at no point even apologised. Avoid!

Poor and above all far from friendly service. The food was homemade and good. Definitely not a place I'd come back to.
