Aradi Restaurant Review

Restaurant Aradi – in Platja d’Aro

The second stop on our mission to experience Costa Brava through our taste buds was Restaurant Aradi for dinner.

Restaurant Aradi is located in the heart of Platja d’Aro. The restaurant has an elegant feel without being stuffy. You can dine inside or people watch on the outdoor patio.
