Discover authentic Catalan cuisine in Tossa de Mar

During your stay at Camping Sènia Cala Canyelles, don’t miss the chance to enjoy Catalan food in Tossa de Mar — a destination with a rich culinary tradition rooted in the sea and Mediterranean cooking.

In the historic centre and along the seafront promenade of Tossa de Mar, you’ll find dozens of restaurants serving typical Catalan dishes such as paella, fideuà, and freshly caught fish. What truly sets this town on the Costa Brava apart is its commitment to preserving and promoting traditional Tosense cuisine.

Traditional Tosense Cuisine

Many of the town’s restaurants are part of the “Traditional Tosense Cuisine” initiative, which supports the use of genuine local recipes, with seasonal dishes that reflect the area’s history. It’s the best way to taste the true essence of Tossa de Mar’s Catalan gastronomy.

Cim i tomba: Tossa’s signature dish

One of the most iconic dishes is cim i tomba, a fishermen’s stew created by the town’s sailors who spent long days at sea. Made with potato, onion, garlic, tomato, pepper and poached fish, it’s finished with homemade aioli for a unique, full-flavoured finish. You can enjoy it in September during the “Cim i Tomba Cuisine” food festival, when many restaurants in Tossa offer special menus featuring this local delicacy.

Other Tossa food festivals
