We initially tried to come here spontaneous but could not secure a table as the restaurant was fully booked. Luckily, we could try a second time and this was the best decision of the weekend!! The service is really spotless, the owner was extremely friendly and really guided us well through the menu ! I guess his task was easy as every dish we tried was super tasty. We were 3 at the table so we could have a very good sample of the menu. We will be looking forward to trying it again in our next visit !! Such a nice discovery!

The choice and quality of food here was amazing. We were surprised at how well priced everything was because a lot of care and thought has gone into the dishes. The restaurant owner who was really attentive do that also helped to make the atmosphere friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend eating here. We were very lucky to get the last table without booking on a Saturday, so it’s recommended to make a reservation beforehand.

Lovely traditional catalonian restaurant. Staff incredibly friendly. No English menu yet the staff made a huge effort to explain dishes. Amazing flavoured food with generous portions. Incredibly well priced too. Would highly recommend this hidden gem!

New place in an area that usually isn’t known for high quality Catalan cuisine. The place is very clean and mindern. Staff is attentive and friendly and the 6 course lunch menu for 22€ incl. 1 drink is a blast. Can highly recommend Aviva and hope to be back soon, whenever in Spain.

A truly lovely place for either an sumptuous evening meal at the weekend or an indulgent lunch any day of the week.

Wonderful Catalan restaurant a short walk from the coast in Malgrat de mar. The restaurant is well appointed with a modern but cosy atmosphere, service is very attentive and the quality of the dishes is impeccable. The lunch menu is an absolute steal. But be sure to book as it always seems busy
