This restaurant is located on a farm where most of the ingredients are produced on the premises…read more They even produce their own wine but also have a good wine list covering a range of wines. The menu is not extensive but the food quality is excellent and consists of local traditional Catalan dishes. We started with the buffet which consisted of home cured hams, sausages and salads. This was followed foie gras prepared in 3 different ways. A lemon sorbet acted as an excellent pallet cleanser before the main course. I chose the Catalan meat balls and my wife the chicken with morels. Cheese followed before the dessert of panna cotta and nougat ice cream. We finished off with coffee which came with a small shot glass of creme caramel and similar of water melon. All in all an exceptional meal and a place not to be missed if you are travelling in this area but you will need to book in advance.

Prices are very reasonable: the Formule (main and dessert or appetizer and main with wine or coffee) only 10€; fixed Menu at 18 & 23€. One of our party tried the 18€ menu starting out with the Ariege Salad (a meal in itself with aged ham, duck breast, foie gras, fresh walnuts, carrots, tomato, daikon, at least 3 kinds of greens in a light oil and balsamic dressing) and salmon, cooked to perfection with a crazy chorizo concoction on top giving it extra zip. My main was cannelloni done in the style lasagna would be done at home, but with buckets more flavour - it's amazing what happens when you use fresh tomatoes, spinach and cheese made locally. Oh ya, we had dessert too, but my head pretty much exploded with surprise and delight after the cannelloni. I heard it was spectacular, too. Great food at a great price. The only problem we had was figuring out how to open the door (push IN, firmly).

This place is not touristy at all but the Catalan/French influence is strong. It's in a very rural area. I assume everything they cook is sourced locally. Roquefort icecream on a salad anyone?

Everything is locally sourced (main components at least), fresh, absolutely delicious and deftly prepared. Albert (chef, owner), and La Barretina, were suggested by our Airbnb host who is another local. He is kind and gracious, excited to share his space and food, and proud to serve the quality he does- rightfully so. The place is in the middle of a rural part of Catalonia, and there isn't much going on- making it quite unassuming. The wine selection is completely locally made and held in a separate cellar attached which Albert will help you with. All bottles totally affordable- recommend trying "Mas Polit", we got a second bottle to go! After that, go wild. The menu is phenomenal. It's simple and humble but the food it stellar. Truly special, the flavors will impress and satisfy anyone from the food conservative to any foodie. The cannelloni are house made rich and delicate, onion cake is sweet, savory and unctuous, and the duck is ridiculous. We tried maybe 8 or 9 items between the two nights and everything was tremendous. I could keep going, but I think I've made the point. Please make an effort to get out to this area of Catalonia- it isn't far from Barcelona. The area totally deserves your attention and time and specifically this restaurant is worth the day trip.
