Donzella de la costa:
Another of the best restaurants to enjoy in Badalona
.
Right in the middle of Badalona’s Paseo Marítim, you will find La Donzella de la Costa, a restaurant that occupies the space where in 1962 the building that today houses the restaurant, a beach bar and a cozy terrace was erected. Since its inception, this establishment has been very clear that the best way to attract its clientele is to offer a daily culinary proposal with dishes prepared with care and at an affordable price, set at 19.90 euros. Its approach is based on three fundamental pillars: health, proximity and accessibility, which underpin a gastronomic offer that undoubtedly attracts diners who wish to enjoy a waterfront experience.
At La Donzella de la Costa, the dishes on offer are synonymous with health and flavor. Special importance is given to local ingredients, which guarantees the freshness and quality of each preparation. In addition, the affordable price of its gastronomic proposal makes this restaurant an attractive option for all budgets.
While in the beach bar you can choose a la carte, the menu is served in the spacious restaurant upstairs, which has been completely restored by Marc Fonollà, who since childhood was involved in the management of the bathing huts that are still impeccably maintained. Of the original interior, only the nostalgic bar from the 1960s remains. At the helm of the kitchens is Jordi Armada, a chef who trained at the EUHT Sant Pol and has worked with renowned names such as Jean Luc Figueras and in the kitchens of the Tragaluz group. Now, he has returned to his native Badalona to lead the culinary proposal of La Donzella de la Costa.
