The location is a bit hidden, but it is worth the trip. The service was the best, we were treated very well by the staff, who were supper attentive. The food in general was very tasty and I think the value for money is definitely worth it.

perfect for a long lunch after a hike. tony and julian looked after us so well and we loved the behind the scenes tour

Amazing food, lovely surroundings and extremelty helpful and polite staff! Cannot recommend enough for a day out! Will be visiting again next year for sure.

Amazing views while enjoying a traditional catalan dish. The calcotada is a must try during the season.

Service and food were perfect but the cava/wine was of a very bad quality

This restaurant is a hidden gem—finding it feels like discovering a treasure. Highly recommend the aged beef and snails, both of which are exceptional. The staff is incredibly warm and welcoming, ensuring a memorable experience. You won’t be disappointed!

Wonderful restaurant, surrounded by nature, a perfect place for a relaxing weekend meal with family or friends. The food is delicious, they have many catalan dishes that I’ve never tried before, like the Calçots. I’ll definitely go back when possible. It’s necessary to reserve in advance, btw.
