Set in a fully renovated sixteenth century farmhouse, this hotel is renowned for its gourmet restaurant, which is part of the cuina of the Empordanet, kitchen of the small Empordà. The credo of its chef, Joan Carles Sanchez, create a market cuisine favoring the food of the Empordà. While making them tasteful and innovative. Near Pals, the flagship product will be the rice to which the restaurant devotes a special menu. With inspiration, you will be able to taste grilled topens at Galician accompanied by a compote of onions from Figueres, sauted pink shrimp from Palamós and of course party to rice. Like cassola rice, bomba rice served with different meat, chops, sausage, chicken, rabbit and fruit; black rice from Empordà, Bahia rice accompanied by seiche, langoustines, clams and mussels or "the sea and mountains" mixing rice Nembo, calamars, low court chicken, octopus and candied beans. At dessert, it is recommended to continue the tasting with a milk rice ice cream served with the orange biscuit. Even commitment to local products with regard to the cellar, dominated by DO wines of the Empordà.

Becoming a 4 star boutique hotel in 2014, Es Portal also offers 8 very nice rooms and a suite with views of the very garden but also on the Montgrí and the Pyrenees. Large outdoor swimming pool available.
