El Papillo - Collioure

We are an elderly (UK) couple and were hungry and tired from the buffet gales. We were greeted most with smiles, advice about the menu and patience with my very poor French. I had graveax followed by beef carbonara, my wife had foi gras, then fish followed by chocolate mousse. The delicacy of flavors was evident, portion sizes were generous, and service was quick and relaxed. Turns out we were the first post-Covid guests. Collioure has a wide range of restaurants but El Capillio stood out. We really enjoyed our visit and glad we didn't happen to have to keep quiet. And we're going again before we go.

Great food with a modern twist. A nice change from the traditional French meal. We enjoyed sharing some plates and the place was full every night we stayed at Kollioure book in advance.

It is such a pleasure to find a restaurant that produces completely innovative yet absolutely delicious food. Things you never expect to work are delicious. Two of the loveliest waitresses made the whole evening a pleasure.

We came across El Capillo while searching the backstreets of Collioure for lunch to avoid the seaside restaurants. We were delighted with our choice. The menu was inventive with interesting choices and fresh ingredients. The wine selection was also very good and we... enjoyed a good choice of their tapas-style dishes and local wines. Also a good friendly service. A find!

We have eaten at El Capillo every year over the last 4 years. We were determined not to miss out on it this year, despite Covid. We are going to remember another great meal here as we suffer a two week quarantine back in Scotland....Jean-Phillipe and his team get better and better. L’annee prochaine!
