El Pati

My family scoped this restaurant earlier, and based on the menu and setting, we decided to plan a nice family dinner for my daughter’s birthday later in the week. We dined at other restaurants in Peratallada and were impressed with the town’s restaurants overall. El Pati has a beautiful garden ambiance with interesting layout and stone work. But, we were disappointed. The service was very very slow (even though there were only a few other diners), and when it began to rain, the staff seemed more interested in bringing in the seat cushions than the customers. The food was good and the menu offered something for everyone. But, overall, our hopes were higher, and following the long wait for dinner service, we went elsewhere for the birthday dessert.

Very good food, quick and nice service, also in English. Beautiful garden, romantic atmosphere. On of our highlights in this area.

I’v been there in the Years 1996, 2002 and 2006. Each time i was amazed by the wonderful ambiente with the big garden and dreamlike atmosphere. The menus were always of high quality, but over the years there was no developement to see, that the management of the hotel/​restaurant was trying to improve the service so that international guests with minor spanish knowledge feel more welcome.
After reading a comment from 2009 in another forum, the service even seems to have decreased in performance
I will for sure visit this lovely place a fourth time, but will watch closely, if the critics may be right.
But on a nice summer evening there seems to be no better place for a nice dinner in Catalunya
