Excellent establishment. I was by myself. I speak no Spanish. The waiter was very helpful. I followed his recommendation and everything was great. Very good atmosphere. I liked how they went out of their way to accommodate a lone diner.

We came to this restaurant two nights in a row. The first night, it was very crowded with a long line at the entrance. I asked someone waiting in line if we needed to stay in the queue or make a reservation, and they said we should just wait. A few minutes later, I realized people had actually put their names on a waiting list either by phone or in person. Since we were tired, we decided to eat somewhere else that night. But the delicious smell of the chicken being roasted over wood fire stayed with us, so we came back earlier the next evening. The staff were extremely polite and friendly. Like many others, we ordered the roast chicken with toast brushed with tomato sauce, and white wine. The chicken, simply marinated with just salt and black pepper (I think), tasted absolutely amazing. Honestly, I couldn’t get enough of it! Next time we visit Calella, we’ll definitely be coming back to this restaurant.

The restaurant was chosen based on the Google reviews from other guests. Very interesting interior inside the restaurant but very basic tables outside just in the middle of the street. On the recommendation of the waiter, we ordered chicken and mussels. This is the restaurant's signature dish. House wine was not bad. There were no french fries on the menu, so we were allowed to buy fries from a nearby restaurant and eat with the rest of the meal.

Absolute heaven on a plate. Rustic, charming, and buzzing with life. The staff are hilarious, friendly, and their recommendations were spot on. Complimentary bread with tomato and olive oil was insanely good. Chicken was moist, beautifully seasoned and coming off the bone, served impressively fast even though the place was packed. Fresh salads, sangria, delicious olive oil, complimentary ice cream bites, and lollies for the kids. Pure joy from start to finish.

A very interesting place not only to eat but also to enjoy the atmosphere of the wheels. Inside, there are themed decorations everywhere, from lots of wooden wheels to cute chicken figures. The chicken is just fantastic. The meat was juicy and the skin was crispy. The menu is translated into many languages, and there are other interesting items besides chicken. For example, bread with various additions. Friendly staff and fast service.

Tuesday night at La Roda, it was busy but not that bad. We had a little wait but only 5 minutes. All the seats are wooden benches and the table are the same. La Ronda has a wonderful atmosphere all the walls are lined with pictures and signatures of people past. We asked the waiter for his recommendation and of course he said chicken for main course and salad for starters. The chicken is cooked on open fire and you have never tasted anything like it before. The atmosphere is amazing and so is the food you will definitely enjoy yourself here I can thoroughly recommend La Roda.
