Where to eat or go for a drink

ESTIMAR
An intimate, informal restaurant that is somewhat tucked away. It's been praised for its passion for fish and has been run by the Gotanegra family since 1895. Chef Rafa Zafra has a track record with the brothers Adrià.

ÀBAC
Chef Jordi Cruz raises technical skill, creativity, and gastronomic perfection to the highest level. His dishes tell stories that are complex yet understandable.

MONT BAR
This is so much more than a bar; it’s a gastro bar. They only serve fresh, local, organic products, often from their farm in the small village of Mont in the Pyrenees.

CIUDAD CONDAL

With lots of wood and waiters dressed like naval officers, this place evokes the aesthetics of an elegant German brewery. Have a beer with a friend or something to eat during the day while reading the newspaper.
