The beach bar Port Lligat keeps for itself

On the sand of Port Lligat, a two-minute walk from Salvador Dalí's house, El Xiri is the little blue-and-white kiosk where the bay slows down. Behind the counter there's Dani and his team; in front, the calmest corner of Cadaqués.

The fish and seafood come straight off the boats — grilled, on the plancha or steamed — and the vermut at noon, with your feet almost in the water, is a ritual. No reservations, no rush: first come, first served.

“A lovely welcome — kind, attentive, great service… Excellent quality, generous portions, fast. And the best views of Port Lligat. A 10 for me, recommended from the heart.”

No reservations — come as you are

We don't take bookings: tables are first come, first served. At lunchtime and around sunset there's usually a queue — come early, order a vermut, and the wait becomes part of the plan.

You'll find us on the sand of Port Lligat, two minutes on foot from Casa Dalí — follow the path along the water and look for the blue-and-white stripes.
