On a narrow lane in Cadaqués old town, Lua bucks tradition with its yellow shutters and the menu also takes a non-classic route with flavours that span Asia, the Middle East and the Mediterranean. The menu is always changing but if the gazpacho is there, don’t hesitate to order it.  

Masterminded by Carole Bénazet and Frédéric Lagarrigue, of Département Féminin in Toulouse, this harbourfront shop is stocked with high-end womenswear and menswear for summer days with a mix of major luxury designers such as Loewe and Jacquemus and smaller, independent brands like La Veste and Flabelus.  

A Cadaqués institution since 1978, this Lebanese restaurant in the back of the old town was a past haunt of Dalí himself and the artist even designed the logo. Still run by the same family all these years later, it's a trip back in time visiting this restaurant in a former 16th century oil mill that’s filled to the brim with antiques and has a lovely flower-stuffed courtyard.  

Riffing on the idea of an Izakaya, the Japanese take on a small plates bar, Narita takes a different spin on the abundance of fresh fish and seafood available in this charming Costa Brava fishing town. The small but always-changing menu loves to surprise (in a good way) and the friendly team is on hand to guide you through the extensive list of natural wines.
