"What a find in the touristy resort of Roses . Fantastic food, views and staff. A brilliant find . Just a shame we couldn’t have the mussels as these have to be pre ordered. But this didn’t spoil our visit . Should be 5 stars compared especially to the other rubbish meal I had in Roses the night before"

"Eine ganz besondere Empfehlung: Das Restaurant „El Nautil“ in Santa Margarida Mit dem Boot (Direkt am Steg des Restaurants anlegen) oder mit dem Auto (großer Parkplatz in unmittelbarer Nähe!) zu erreichen! Fantastisches Essen und selbst gemachte Nachspeisen von höchster Qualität Tipp: Einen Tag vorher reservieren und dann gleich das frische Tunfisch Steak fest bestellen. (Der Tunfisch wir morgens im Hafen gekauft und hat die allerbeste Qualität ) Achtung: Auf der Karte steht der Tuna nicht drauf - also nur auf Vorbestellung! Es wird Deutsch, Belgisch, Spanish, English und Französisch gesprochen!"
