The best restaurants Olot

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.

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.

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.

This quality restaurant offers very low prices, which is a pleasure. Located a little way out of town, La Deu is one of the bastions of volcanic cuisine, which aims to highlight local recipes and produce. All in a pleasant, calm setting that's wide open to the outside world. Here, you can sample the famous Olot potatoes, whose recipe is said by word of mouth to have been invented here. But they're still excellently prepared here. A truly good address.

He showcases volcanic cuisine by working with the region's emblematic products, such as Olot potatoes, black mushrooms and Santa Pau beans. Try, for example, bread shells with ham and preserved onion jam, or veal escalope with ratafia sauce and mashed potatoes. For dessert, a small chocolate volcano with yoghurt ice cream and red fruits should punctuate the meal in a delicious way.

Located in the volcanic area, in the heart of the natural site of Font Moixina, which gave it its name, this restaurant, which is over a hundred years old since it was founded in 1890, offers traditional local cuisine. Co-founder of the Volcanic Cuisine Association, it offers, for example, turbot of the day with morel mushrooms, codfish with onion, honey and creamy sweet potatoes or apple fritters. All this can be enjoyed in this beautiful, spacious and bright place or on the terrace.

After climbing the steep slopes leading to the volcano, you will be delighted to enter this small restaurant at the summit. And which is a magnificent viewpoint for the surrounding landscapes: Olot and the Vallée d'en Bas, whether inside, through the bay windows or on its terrace. You can eat there from breakfast or crackle on a plate of tapas accompanying a local vermouth. Recommended.
