We got the baby squid, salmon, and a croquette. The food was okay, but the last item we ordered,…read morefried chicken strips with garlic sauce, was some of the most awful fried chicken. It was dry and shriveled so much that it was a struggle just to finish it. That said, if you are careful with your orders, this place could be good.

We walked in with a group of ten in the middle of lunch hours and they warmly welcomed us even tho…read morewe didn't have a reservation. (A lot of restaurants in Spain request reservations for parties of 6 plus). We had to split up 8 and 2 in order to be sat. The employees were all kind, welcoming, knowledgeable, and had great attitudes. The food was delicious (you have to try La Bomba - like a mashed potato outside and deliciously seasoned ground beef on the inside, and the asparagus appetizer with crispy cheese over sautéed asparagus). The sangria was excellent too! Everyone we dealt with spoke some English and they all made effort toward the hospitality, so that was a nice change(note-lots of restaurants are not "service oriented" so don't be surprised when your order is taken, food is brought, and your server disappears)! Food great, service great, town beautiful. Great walk around town to walk the food off, a Dali museum near restaurant, and lots of photo opps all around the restaurant. Definitely a must do restaurant while in Figueres!

There are beautiful views of the countryside around the dining room. The food was absolutely amazing. Beautifully served and tasted wonderful. We enjoyed every plate served to us. Then the staff brought out a beautiful cake for my partner's birthday, it was better than I could ever have expected! They truly made his birthday feel so special. We love El Motel, and will return when we find ourselves in Figueres again.

The positive reviews persuaded me to give it a go, although the location adjacent to a gas station and a car wash almost got me to walk away. What a mistake it would have been. Great service, well presented food, fresh ingredients, crafty cooking. All of this and an emarrassingly low check. Three adults and a kid. Left very full after eating the likes of filet mignon, goat cheese salads, churrasco, etc. and drinking a fine bottle of vino. 59 euros. I felt like we were robbing the place. If you are in figueres, put it on your agenda.

Aside from warm and friendly service, each dish was presented with a thoughtful, artistic touch. The restaurant itself was petite but the clean lines and laid back vibe evoked a design aesthetic that permeated through decor and dishes. Everything was perfectly cooked. The tenderness of the pork and freshness of the vegetables, fish and seafood spoke volumes of the cooking technique as well as emphasis on local and seasonal ingredients. If I had one knock it would be the paella was slightly too salty, but aside from that, bravo! We didn't have time to try desserts but if we ever come back to Figueres would love to visit this place again.
