Truly an unforgettable meal and experience.

Everything about El Cul was divine. The appetizers (Moroccan salad, pumpkin soup, and meat selection) were tasty and just the right portion. The artisanal bread did come with a 1.10 supplement fee - kind of tacky but entirely worth it. And the olive oil? Good grief that stuff is liquid gold. Get the bread for the olive oil alone! My lamb shank entree was a very hearty serving and cooked to perfection. Crispy on the outside and succulent in. My friends had the chicken cannelloni which was much more petite yet still delish. (Save your pasta ordering for Italy. They do great rice dishes in Spain and this was tasty, but vai a Italia per la pasta della nonna!) Other friend's sea bass was cooked to perfection. Chocolate desserts, oh my! Yup, get those too.

Kind of off the beaten path lies this fantastic restaurant. Located in Palau-Sator, outside of…read moreGirona, this easily is in our top 1-2 favorite places to eat in the world. First off the location is simply stunning. The old part of the city is a fascinating brick structure that is quite old, but still being lived in. The interiors are quite moderns. The restaurant also has apartments that are available to rent and from what Ive seen this would be a fantastic spot to use as a base to explore the area. The restaurant is a family run affair. Introduced to this place by my Uncle who has been coming here for decades (and seen many of the children grow up and now manage etc) it features some fo the best Catlan cusine and its not going to break your budget in the process. The Food: First off we were treated with the table set to make the traditional Catalonian Pa amb Tomàquet or bread with tomato. You take a thick piece of crusty bread and rub it with a piece of locally grown garlic. Then a heirloom tomato slice and rub that on the bread soaking in the oh so good tomato juice. Spread on some aioli and drizzle with olive oil. Its really heaven on a slice. The bread still a bit crunchy has the tomato flavor saturated through. The garlic flavor announces it presence but does not overwhelm. The oh so rich aioli is cut by the EVVO to make one of the worlds greatest pieces of toast. I could eat this every day of my life and it would never get old. (I have a picture of both the setting and the toast). Gazpacho: Again perfect. cucumbers and heirloom tomato blended smooth with a hit of sherry wine vinegar. Served cold and its super refreshing. You can make out each element of the soup individually if you concentrate, but together they are a perfect blend of flavor and texture. The vinegar adds needed acidity and brightens up everything. The EVVO adds richness. A bit of the house made bread for dipping it was also perfect. Jamon Iberico: Whats not to like here? Black Iberian pigs are raised under free range but strict conditions and finished on acorns. The ham is then cured up to 4 years. The best is black lable which indicates pure bred black Iberian pigs. Such is what is served here. The rich meat has a taste similar to egg yolks and is pure joy to eat. This is 100 times better than prosciutto Monkfish: literally fresh off the boat monkfish that is grilled and served with a bit of oil garlic and parsley. It was perfectly cooked. The quality of the fish is such that it simply does not require a lot of gussying up. The flaky meat has a nice texture to it and reminds me a bit of halibut but not as dense. For a fish that is at best described as ugly it sure tastes good. Catlan Apple desert: Not sure what it was called but it was basically locally grown apples made into sort of a mini deconstructed apple pies with some cream on the top. So good!!!!!! This is a must stop if you are in the area. Great prices for what you are getting in a killer space using local ingredients. It does not get better than this.

We had a break from our Girona tour and stumbled upon Xibarri looking for a lunch spot. Located…read morein the square they had an ample amount of outdoor seating so we took advantage of it give the beautiful day. Nice view of the river from inside seating. Ordered a Sparkling water and no Fanta Limon but they did have Schweppes which wasn't as sweet as the Fanta version. A good variety of Tapas on the menu. We went with the Andalusian Squid (fried) and couldn't pass up the Octopus Galician style. Squid was lightly fried/not greasy-tasty. The Octopus was delicious and ranked at some of the best we've had. We ordered the Squid with onions as it sounded interesting-unfortunately it missed the mark-wasn't what we expected and we didn't enjoy it. We finished with a couple of Cafe con Leches which hit the spot. Just right balance of coffee/milk. Also picked up a Jamon sandwich to go and it was tasty. Service was friendly but as time moved on lost the attentive aspect. Think they were understaffed and were doing their best. Would return for the Octopus.

Wow did we have an amazing burger here. We decided to try two different burgers on the menu. One…read morewith Wagyu and the other with local beef. Surprisingly the local beef won hands down in my book. We started off with Tomato Bread and Jamon Iberico. Just keep ordering both these things where ever you go in Spain and you will be happy. I couldn't get enough of either, and for sure you can't get tomato bread in the states. Crusty bread with olive oil bringing it back to life and tomato and garlic rubbed all over it, The Wagyu burger had a nice slab of melted Brie, caramelized onions, and fig balsamic. A tried and true flavor profile. The beef was sure juicy, and we would have been happy with this burger if we hadn't tried the local beef The Local Girona Beef Burger topped with havarti, lettuce, tomato, and egg cream (basically a rich mayonnaise). This was a dry aged burger, although not advertised as such. And very dry aged. Spain uses mature cows that can be as old as 14 years old. As such they have a much more robust flavor than American beef which is usually only 1-2 years old. The tomato reminded me, how delicious a tomato can and should be. Don't miss this burger here. BBQ Pork Flat Bread with pickled onions oregano , and melted provolone. Pretty tasty, but perhaps the least memorable of everything we ate. We did enjoy it though. Just goes to show how good everything else was. Brots de Vi is a cute spot to grab lunch, and they made us feel right at home fixing up a table where normally they wouldn't have had one, so we didn't wait too long. And for sure the servers had to walk around where we were seated, kind of half blocking the doorway. But they insisted that if we didn't mind, they didn't mind. Very friendly service and excellent food here.

I was relieved to see the chalkboard outside that said "Meals All Day." The thought of coming from the US and getting a burger here seemed so silly to me, but when we walked in, the sight and smell was too convincing. The fresh Girona beef was loosely ground and flavorful, so, no regrets! There was a little bit of an issue with flies trapped inside, we probably should have sat outside. Wine prices were good!

The wine was excellent and plentiful...probably why I cannot remember the flavor of ice cream. :) The décor was very nice and you felt like you were in Girona.
