Le Tucan - Torroella de Montgrí

Terrible service and terrible food. We wait 1 hour to start and we had booked in the morning. Only one cooker. Disgusting experience.

Just over the road from our apartment first few times just stopped for a pre dinner drink lovely Spanish atmosphere always seemed busy, full of locals pleasant staff always got a little plate of something to go with our drinks. Then the third night we decided to try out the food well it was really lovely no frozen tapas here, and all service with a smile. Would recommend whole heartedly

Initially a bit unprepossessing but the rear terrace is quiet and adjacent to the beach with a pleasant outlook. The food (we had omlettes) was simple but good and whilst little English was spoken the service was efficient.

Among the highlights of the service was the delivery of a bottle of wine cork still intact with three further visits for anyone to notice despite us drawing attention to it. Our waitress handed our five year old the dirtiest glass I have ever seen in a bar, encrusted with an unidentified red goo. They followed up by delivering the main course half way through the tapas selection, plates weren't cleared and piled up around us. We ordered a hamburger, a chicken burger arrived dispatched at such speed we couldn’t tell the waitress of the error. The tapas contained overcooked mussels in a miserable grey sauce, tasteless fridge cold prawns, and croquettes tasting of very little. Our daughter’s calamari was one of the worst I have ever tasted the only thing edible on the plate being the lemon. A fideua tasted of the sea but not in a good way a dull brown mess in a broth as salty as sea water. No one asked how the food was and no one seemed to care, on this evidence you should walk down the street and go somewhere else. One positive was the house white when opened was reasonably good and reasonably priced, I wish I’d drunk more then I might have forgot this experience.

Ate here on a couple of occasions with my wife. Located near the beach we tried the menu del dia the first time. For under ten euros we had three courses from a choice of five items. The food was tasty and filling and excellent value for money. The house rose was not the best but for under six euros who cares. Total with coffees a mere 29 euros. The second visit we ordered off the menu and had hake cuttlefish and both were very nice. This is a family run restaurant where service comes with a smile. Recommended.
