Catalan cuisine is central to the culinary offerings of Lloret de Mar, with fresh Mediterranean ingredients taking center stage. Seafood is particularly popular, with dishes like “suquet de peix” (fish stew) and “mariscada” (a seafood platter) reflecting the city’s coastal heritage. Another typical dish is “escalivada,” a blend of roasted eggplant, peppers, and onions, often served as a tapa.
Lloret de Mar’s local markets, such as the weekly outdoor market, offer fresh, locally-sourced produce, including fruits, vegetables, and cheeses. For dining, visitors can enjoy a range of restaurants, from traditional Catalan eateries to modern fusion establishments. The city also boasts a number of tapas bars, where visitors can enjoy smaller dishes alongside local wines or a cold “cava,” the region’s sparkling wine.
Food festivals such as the Gastronomic Days of Lloret celebrate the city’s culinary diversity. These events offer a chance to sample local specialties and take part in cooking workshops. There’s no shortage of beachfront cafes where you can enjoy fresh seafood with a view of the Mediterranean, making dining in Lloret de Mar a truly immersive experience.
