Restaurants cuisine régionale Catalonia

With its yellow and blue façade, its rattan seats, its wrought iron and wrought iron tables and its resolutely modernist character, this is probably one of the most impressive restaurants in the region, or even in the province! Opened in 1919, the Aliança was first a bar, before becoming a gourmet restaurant with a master's hand by the Lluís Starry chef, it is now the girls of the cook who welcome the guests in their establishment to the new tropical-art cabaret, which they transformed into a versatile space. Indeed, we come here to enjoy a vermut or a good glass of wine between friends in the small spaces of the main room, that for lunch frugalement from some inventive tapas, or even solidly in the dining room, more confidential: preparations are Catalan, sea and land, executed with a point of contemporary creativity and presented with great elegance, and the result is superb! You will also enjoy a cocktail on the lovely terrace when the sunset comes. A very warm service team. Unavoidable!

Here you are in the paradise of high quality Catalan cold meats and good local cheese: the boards of llonganissa, botifarra de fetge, and sobrassada come with delicious Puigpedrós Vaca Moli de Ger, Truc Cabra Taüll or Mas Farro Ovella Garrotxa. The best thing to do is to taste... Let yourself be guided by the advice of the young and friendly owner Jordi and if the atmosphere is right for you, don't hesitate to order a little Catalan wine (the menu is rich) or a pint of homemade beer. To discover absolutely.

Opened since 1949, Can Barris has enjoyed a beautiful reputation for three generations now: you are here in the snail's temple! In fact, the establishment proposes its speciality of cargols "a la llauna" (a snail's snail) presented in the form of a dish loaded with gastéropodes (smaller than the Bourgogne snails) cooked in a delicious sauce. There are many other à la carte proposals, all very typical of Catalan cuisine in the interior, ranging from salads to carns, but also some fish preparations. Let's add that desserts have nothing to do with the rest of the menu. Pleasant terrace and family atmosphere. An experience that is worth a detour.

On the Passeig Marítim (but unfortunately, without the view of the sea), an excellent address to discover the cuisine of "Gipsy Chef", a nice and media-friendly chef known for his inventive and a little bit scoundrel! Revisiting the traditional paella, Gipsy Chef delivers several surprising and very tasty versions, in a 100% Mediterranean decor. Our favorite: the one garnished with black botifarra, diced apples and burrata! Equally original is the paella with black scallops and calamari, or the black rice with mussels and poached egg!

Can Xifra is located in an old farmhouse halfway between Sant Gregori and Cartellà and is well known in the area. Three generations of women from the same family have been working to ensure that customers can enjoy their meal. Here they eat a variety of Catalan specialities: they start with a variety of embotits, before being tempted by the star dishes of the place such as conill a la rabiosa (spicy rabbit) or rostit de pagès (farmhouse roast). Perfect for those who want to discover the typical dishes of the Catalan hinterland. A delight.

Located in the ethnological park of Tagamanent, this restaurant occupies a beautiful masía with splendid views. Here, only seasonal and local products are cooked. Chef Ignasi buys from small producers in the area to prepare an excellent Catalan cuisine of the soil, served in the form of a buffet. After your meal, don't hesitate to visit the Casa Museo l'Agustí, a small ethnological museum that reconstructs rural life in 19th century Montseny.

Upstairs in a stone house with rustic architecture, La Llúpia is one of the best restaurants in the area. You can enjoy excellent mountain cuisine, including the typical escudella (pot-au-feu), canelons (cannelloni) with mushrooms and wild boar stew. Good value for money at the gates of the Aigüestortes National Park.

Located on the corner of a downtown square, it's a little marvel for its bric-a-brac décor with vintage accents, its relaxed atmosphere and its inventive and very well-made pinxos tapas. The young and friendly owner, Basque by trade, will be happy to advise you and comment on the contents of your plates, while guiding you through the vast menu of good bottles that abounds in the wine cellar. In the evening, the place turns into a party place where locals and tourists meet at the bar in a cheerful atmosphere.

This restaurant, one of the most renowned in Catalan cuisine, is located in the centre of Llafranc. Open since 1955, the gastronomic concept has evolved without losing the tradition and spirit of origin, always based on respect and quality of local products. This work has enabled it to obtain its 1st Michelin star in 2011 (still valid). Fresh and very well made menu, combined with an excellent wine cellar. The establishment, which is part of the Cuina de l'Empordanet association, also has a comfortable hotel with 20 rooms. Recommended visit.

Held by a brother and sister, Marc le chef and Elena the room leader, the third generation of the Gascon family dedicated to the table arts, Els Tinars is an exceptional address. Opened in 1978 by their parents as a restaurant of Catalan specialities, the modern touches inspired by the rejetons are now feeling on the plate, with always the same taste for good products. The location is superb - a farmhouse converted into a service room with a garden of Provence, light and modern - and sumptuous kitchen. We will get, for example, a delicious Chateaubriand with béarnaise sauce or a sublime Ventresca of tonyina, tocs tocs, soy, soja i verduretes (grilled tuna with notes of ginger, soy, wasabi and vegetables). On the wine side, the amateurs will not be left, the cellar containing just over 400 labels. Here you can find that, since 2008, the restaurant has proudly starred Michelin star.

On the border between Poblenou and the Clot district, here is a true Catalan classic frequented by a loyal and local clientele! Born in 1904 as a simple bodega, Can Pineda has remained very authentic in its setting, with its woodwork and walls covered with azulejos and old photos... Its cuisine focuses on quality seasonal products, especially mushrooms, but there are also delicious fish and stewed dishes! Pay attention to the suggestions of the day, for the top of the freshness, in a welcome mix of tradition and creativity!

An exceptional address. Even before you open the door of this beautiful masia, you'll fall under the spell of its flower-filled garden, complete with vegetable beds and a chicken coop, from which some of the ingredients on your plate come. On the plate, it deserves its 2 stars, with chef Fina Puigdevall who knows how to play with flavors, colors and textures like an artist, and her sober, intuitive cooking gives rise to some delightful dishes, such as a spaghetti consommé accompanied by buckwheat bread and pork butter.

Originally, in 1882, Ca was a small hostel for travelling travellers, serving as a first-class store for farmers in the region. 80 years later, a restaurant specializing in stews and braisées opens shop on the weekend. Nowadays, there is always the same family in the room and in the ovens, with the same taste for traditional Catalan cuisine, with some almost futuristic notes: Green caviar, oyster green sauce, langoustines chicken, or encore beef tails are some of the items found on the map. The service room is designed to wish you a wish, not to forget to make the most of the medieval past of the place. Impressive wine cellar!

A bucolic setting in this large masía with horse-riding facilities, which also functions as a rural hotel. Its restaurant serves regional cuisine with a touch of modernity and careful presentation of the dishes. Braised lamb chops, tuna tartar, rice with Blanes shrimps The choice is wide and really tempting. In season, it's a good place to eat mushrooms. The traditional "canelons" with béchamel sauce are also very good. In short, a beautiful gastronomic stopover in a charming place.
