Reviewed by Daniel · El Albir resident since 2007 · Updated November 2026 · Write to meLa Livi is El Albir’s daytime bistro. Breakfast, brunch and lunch on a sunny terrace right on the avenue. It’s not a place for dinner, because it closes mid-afternoon, but for starting the day or a relaxed lunch it’s one of the nicest spots in town.
What La Livi is
It’s a Belgian and European bistro, also known as Taberna La LiVi. It serves breakfast, brunch and a weekly set menu, with a menu that goes from Mediterranean dishes to the odd Asian plate. Its terrace faces south, so in winter it’s one of the sunniest on the avenue.
What you’ll find on the table
La Livi is a daytime bistro. A bistro is a small, informal restaurant, of French and Belgian origin, with a short menu, home cooking and quick service. Don’t expect a long dinner: you come here for breakfast, brunch or lunch.
Breakfast. There are two styles: Spanish, with toast, and European, which is heartier. The coffee is one of the most praised things about the place.
Brunch. It’s a meal halfway between breakfast and lunch, eaten mid-morning to replace both. It’s perfect for beach days when you don’t want to break up the day.
Lunch. There’s a weekly set menu and a menu that mixes European food with some Asian dishes, such as Thai green curry or the chicken and prawn wok, which several customers recommend.
If you arrive hungry. At lunchtime, the weekly set menu. Mid-morning, brunch. And remember it closes mid-afternoon and on Mondays.
What to order
Breakfast. The toast and the classic Spanish breakfast come out quickly and well made. The coffee is among the most praised: several customers think it’s the best in Albir at a good price.
The weekly set menu. For an easy lunch.
Thai green curry or the chicken and prawn wok. They’re a surprise in a bistro, which is why people recommend them.

What the ratings say
On Google it averages around 4.5 out of 5 from about 350 reviews. People praise the cosy atmosphere, the friendly staff who speak good English, the clean toilets and the speed. A group of fourteen said all their dishes were served at once, something that’s not so easy to find in summer.
Where it falls short
The opening hours. It doesn’t do dinner. If you’re looking for somewhere for the evening, you’ll need another option.
Few visible complaints. Among recent reviews there’s hardly any criticism. Take that as a good sign, but not a guarantee: it’s a small place and in high season it can fill up.
Local’s tips
