Rigatoni stuffed with oxtail with langoustines that are eaten in a restaurant overlooking the cove of Pi on the Costa Brava
The Almarí restaurant, within the Hotel Cala del Pi, has pasta dishes but also fish, meat, rice dishes and especially desserts named Catalanet
Platja d'AroThe Almarí restaurant, located within the Cala del Pi hotel, in the town of Platja d'Aro, aims to delight lovers of pasta, vegetables, rice dishes, fish, and meat. For the former, rigatoni stuffed with oxtail under a scampi topping. A memorable, delicious dish, with a generous portion, one of those that brings celebration just by arriving at the table. Combine it with varied starters, such as fried squid, prawn carpaccio with extra virgin olive oil, or lobster salad with red berries.
To continue, rice lovers, know that you will find more than one, both meat, fish, and spring mushrooms, which is the season for it now. It will be difficult to choose between the senyoret rice, the lobster broth (spiny lobster, as they call it in Empordà) or the dry rice with slipper lobsters and alioli. The kitchen team, led by executive chef Josep Ayats and cook José Sánchez, will recommend them all to you, because they are passionate about rice dishes. Among the fish dishes, the monkfish and clam stew is also a good recommendation. To finish, desserts: you will find the Catalanet, which consists of nougat ice cream, carquinyolis, and ratafia liqueur.
The Almarí restaurant has a cocktail bar, called Salluna (a fitting name, because at night you will contemplate it well), which is a proposal to extend the night. The Hotel Cala del Pi is managed by Rafel Gastal Serra, and is known, apart from its cuisine, for its spa of large dimensions, six hundred square meters.
