Oct 13, 2020 Pura Brasa. Restaurant run by the makers of the famous Josper ovens. Josper ovens originated from this village Pineda de Mar, 50 kms from Barcelona. The name Josper comes from Jose and Pere, the brothers who founded the company. Perhaps the best oven, with the grilling done over wooden charcoal fire. Every dish, other than desserts I suppose, is cooked in their trademark oven. Trust me when I say that the flavour is exceptional. The brinjal was grilled simply and tasted smoking fabulous, a bit like the Indian bartha (without the spices, of course). Even the mussels are cooked in their grill. And bread too! The burger is not made of a dull, compacted patty but of steak tartare made from Galician and Wagyu beef. So every bite melts in your mouth unlike a regular, dense patty. For a Tuesday lunch time, during Covid times, the place was not empty at all. All safety protocols were followed, though. I enjoyed the meal very much. Dec 01, 2020 After the restaurants' shutdown was lifted, the one place I was eager to visit was Pura Brasa, yet again. Didn't mind the hour's drive from Barcelona to the restaurant at Pineda de Mar. Featured in the photos are Sirloin steak and 48 days, dry aged Simmental Rib eye sreak. Simmental is a breed of cows, originally from the Berne region of Switzerland, known for their lean and marbled meat. Dry aging of the meat is done in climate controlled chambers. The process breaks down its protein and enzymes making the flavours of the meat more concentrated, soft, supple, and nutty. Having it grilled first on the wood coals of Josper oven, and then the slices seared at the table on a Josper iron plate, only makes the meal, more exquisite. Pura Brasa does not disappoint at all.

You can spot quality a mile away and Pura Brasa had it in abundance. From the perimeter walls, easy parking, palm trees with fairy lights, warm welcome and unique decorations and that is even before we walked in. The interior décor complimented the amazing starters, mains and desert we had at very reasonable prices. The place is as amazing as the food tasted. Loved every bit and bite !

Excellent meat restaurant in the area. Expensive but it is worth it! The service is super good and professional. It is not the typical summer beach restaurant! Just do not go on your swim bath and barefoot! I strongly recommend to book in advance at least in peak season . Everything we asked is 5 stars. The specialization is everything in the barbecue/oven. They have meat, beef/pork/chicken, sea food and also you can ask for brassed vegetables. It is not a vegetarian restaurant however they have options with no meat. I super recommend it! And enjoy the ambience, the service and the open kitchen. They use a special ovens/barbecues that work on carbon, not gas/electric. The grilled/baked dishes are amazing

Everything was delicious, child friendly and nice ambience.

Top class meat! Also mussels really nice as well as the xuxo (dessert). Staff helpful and friendly and really nice decoration

Pura place to be.nice place, team on top, food really good.go !

(Translated by Google) They have spectacular dishes and other very basic ones, their thing is to go several times and get to know them (Original) Tienen platos espectaculares y otros muy básicos, lo suyo es ir varias veces y conocerlos

The food was really expensive, and not enough. The service was rude an impolite, the hole experience was not as relaxing and calm as expected.

Brilliant! Excellent service and so warm ambient. It seems for wealthy people, but instead, you can enjoy on an affordable price & menu. Stars are quality fresh meat dishes , but you have healthy options to choose.

Absolutely the best restaurant on this holiday. Food is delicious, service amazing, so efficient & knew their menu very well. Decor is stunning. Booked again for tomorrow night on our way out tonight. Alvaro looked after us so well & his advise was spot on. I had black rice paella with cuttle fish, shrimp & squid. My dinner companion had tapas. All delicious & not too expensive.

Location is beautiful, friendly employes and great system for getting help. However, price and quality of the food do not go together at least in our case (first visit ever) I ordered pork ribs - extremely dry, and sauce wasnt complementing ribs at all. My girlfriend ordered biff entrecote - ordre medium rare. However received rare… sauce for this dish tasted more like soap, that pepper sauce

If you’re vacationing in Pineda de Mar, this is where you should go for dinner. Lovely staff (hola Cristian 👋), great wine and some of the best barbecued meat you’ll find on the Spanish coast.

Sok hűhó semmiért. I expected more from this place after we could only get a table with a reservation. The interior is lovely, the staff is kind but the steak I had was mediocre especially when I consider the price.

We went once for lunch and once for dinner. Staff is very nice, food is good, but a bit too salty for our taste. I accidentally ordered the wrong thing and they even took it off the bill for me! Very kind. The place looks good, very well maintained and nice decor. I would definitely recommend the fish dishes!

Great food and atmosphere. We tried most of tapas selections and all of them are really good. The steak and beef grilled are great especially when they are cooked rare, you can have a grilled plate to have yourself cook parts if u want it more grilled.

Really amazing food including pulpo ala gallega, patatas bravas, cream catalana and many more. I loved the wild duck that came to have a snack 😁

Fab place and atmosphere. Food excellent go there with my daughter on my last night in Spain, before going to Wales.

Great food. Reasonable prices. Good service - it's a win/win. On this trip, my husband tried the octupus casserole and said it was fantastic! He also ordered the house salad - HUGE by the way! I had the 4 cheese pasta - came out piping hot and really rich and creamy with a yummy parmesean crisp. In the past we've had the Japanese grilled Chicken - so good! My husband had the curry chicken. Both were great! Previously we've had their hamburgers and they are also REALLY good! Love this place.. We eat here at least once everytime we come from Canada!

We did not expect to find such a quality food. Definitely we come back,very good work guys! A big thumbs up! 👍

Beautiful food great atmosphere brilliant service 10/10 highly recommended.

Everything was excellent. We had a wide range of food and drink. They cater well for all dietary requirements. Christian looked after us all night. Would love to go back. Can be expensive but it's reflected by the quality.

WOW, absolutely superb Christmas lunch! Fantastic, extremely accommodating staff. Wonderful waiter Henry! Amazing chef who made me five veggie courses whilst my friends had their meat dishes. We're all absolutely stuffed, perfectly contented and all for such a reasonable price! LOVE this place, we're coming back! Thanks for a wonderful Christmas! Xxx

(Translated by Google) Excellent treatment !!! (Original) Trato excelente!!!

Good food. A bit more expensive than most restaurants but well worth the money. Noting to complain 5 stars for me.

Amazing restaurant everything was very tasty. The service was very good and professional

First time visiting here and wont be the last. A number of seating areas both inside and out. Great service and, most importantly, fantastic food. Not the cheapest meal we have had in Calella but definite value for money.

Very nice and tasty food, a bit pricey but you get what you pay for, some of the items on the menu like “meat by the weight” are a bit unclear, for example the wagyu steak has an attractive price until you realise you are forced to order a minimum of 500 grams and the price is per 100 grams then the price gets a lot more unattractive. We ended up ordering something else. The mussles tapas and wagyu burgers were very tasty and so was the ribbed steak. You get your own small grill with it and you can sear it to your own preference. To top it of the creme catalana was pretty nice aswell and the coffee was good too. The service was nice and attentive and our drinks and food got made quickly. The general mood of the establishment is classical with a modern twist, it’s lowkey enough that you don’t end up getting distracted by it, but nice enough to look good. Keep in mind: a reservation is required.

Birth place of josper. Incredible food and hospitality. You can not beat the josper cooked food quality.

Pura Brasa is for people who are looking for perfectly charcoal grilled food. I recommend you reserve your table before you head to the restaurant as you can be in for a surprise.

Delicious food, very generous portions and excellent service! Our waiter (Ivan) was very helpful

(Translated by Google) I will be back (Original) Volvere

(Translated by Google) I didn't get to eat at this restaurant, the pint is very good and I'm sure I'll try it, but ...... Call to book and a nice guy took care of me very kind and very correct, when I made the reservation he told me that during the week the reservation was only for a la carte food, I told him that we would surely arrive at one o'clock, at first hour and that usually you a la carte but that if the menu is very good, as they commented to me, we still ordered menu, with wines from the menu. The very kind guy told me it couldn’t be and I told him yes, that I would book and we would make a letter, but when discussing it with my other classmates they didn’t like it and we canceled the booking. Personally I do not like this position of the restaurant, I hope they take it into account on other occasions. (Original) No he arribat a menjar en aquest restaurant, la pinta és molt bona i segur que ho provaré, però ...... Truca per a reservar i un simpàtic noi em va atendre molt amable i molt correcte, quan vaig fer la reserva em va comentar que entre setmana la reserva era només per menjar a la carta, jo li vaig dir que segurament arribaríem a la una, a primera hora i que normalment vós a la carta però que si el menú està molt bé, com em van comentar, igual demanàvem menú, amb vins de la carta. El noi molt amable em va dir que no podia ser i jo li vaig dir que si, que reservés i faríem carta, però a l'comentar-ho amb els meus altres companys no els va semblar bé i vam anul·lar la reserva. Personalment no ho trobo bé aquesta postura de l'restaurant, espero que la tinguin en compte en altres ocasions.

(Translated by Google) The tremendous bravas, the spectacular artichoke sauce, the Donostiarra-style sea bass with a bit of a lemon rise and, least of all, the vegetable wok. The place is very cool. The head waiter super friendly and attentive. The waiter who has served us ... In general he will make us come back (Original) Las bravas tremendas, la salsa de las alcachofas espectacular, la corvina a la Donostiarra un pelín subida de limón y lo que menos el wok de verduras.

(Translated by Google) Cozy and beautiful place, good service and gastronomic quality. It has a large parking lot and a large terrace. Maybe some dish is lacking in quantity but in general good.

(Translated by Google) Whenever we can we escape to eat here, everything is great as always. The only thing that failed this time was how cold it was in the dining room we were in, there was a stove that did not work and we were a bit cold since the sliding door that led to the outside was very cold. Otherwise everything perfect (Original) Siempre que podemos nos escapamos a comer aquí, todo genial como siempre. Lo único que falló esta vez fue el frío que hacía en el comedor que estuvimos, había una estufa que no funcionaba y pasamos un poco de frío ya que por la puerta corredera que daba al exterior entraba mucho frío. Por lo demás todo perfecto
