El Ventall (CLOSED)

A 'masia' (Catalan country house) and a menu full of fish and shellfish in the heart of the Costa Brava - at El Ventall you'll eat like kings, enjoying the most treasured delicacies of the Mediterranean, which feature on their menu. Its closeness to Blanes is a guarantee of the quality of the fish that they serve, and the prawns are the stars of the show. Enjoy prawns from Blanes port with their reduction and Catalan 'picada' (a special seasoning added to many traditional Catalan dishes toward the end of cooking), Blanes prawns grilled with Camargue salt, and the classic prawns sautéed with garlic and parsley. Like any good seafood restaurant they also have rice dishes, paellas and browned noodles. And among their specialities, the desserts also stand out. When it's in season, don't miss the chestnut mousse with a crunchy meringue centre and toffee coulis - you'll taste heaven!
