Ici, pas d'affiches de tauromachie épinglées sur les murs, pas de robes à pois, de castagnettes ou d'abanicos, ces éventails propres à l'Andalousie et ses airs de flamenco. Au contraire. L'Esquinade représente une Espagne actuelle, une jeunesse dynamique. L'ambiance qui y règne, sans être nécessairement cataloguée underground ou branchée, est simplement chaleureuse et festive... Plutôt "movida" que "corrida", à l'instar de Barcelone ou Madrid. Des couleurs vives, des plats copieux et de qualité. Typiques aussi, certes, surtout si l'on se réfère aux tapas ou à la fameuse Parillada, un assortiment de fruits de mer. Cependant, ici, on préfèrera toujours à la Sangria le Tinto de verano, un cocktail (fait maison) composé de vin rouge,

We had the tomato (which were outstanding) along with the cheese (perfectly sliced) and Jamon (melt in your mouth and flavorful). Our waiter also told us about the Spanish omelette he had just made.

The waiter was extremely friendly, helpful and made for a delightful dining experience!!

The toasted fresh French bread was unreal, broth was onion and creatively flavored and not remotely salty as many FOS can be, topped off with a perfect local cheese. Ruined French Onion Soup for me until we return. Wife's Entrecote (steak) was served on a broiler heated stone, keep sizzling and cooking for 10 minutes after service. Served with a broiled tomato, peas and Shoshito type pepppers, absolute flavor perfection in local Huesca style. Unbelievably good. Fantastic bottle of Spanish red resulted in one of those meals that was just perfect. I had the chicken crochettes which were very good, had a middle eastern flavor, nice but get the soup and entrecote and you'll be thanking me later. Great environment, comfortable, casual and near a most beautiful national park for amazing hiking and views. Now, if everything above didn't sell you on this literally hidden gem, the Creme Brulee desert was the best we ever had. Crispy top with a ridiculously light, sinfully delicious without being to sugary custard. Game changer for the category. Loved Espot!!! Loved La Llupia!!! Perfect meal and I promise, we didn't drink or smoke anything before. LOL :)

I came to Puigcerda to find a nice place for tapas for the kids myself and my wife. This place was…read moresplendid. We sat at one of the tables in the plaza, which allowed the kids to run arround between servings. We had patatas bravas, chorizo, pan con tomate, olives with anchovies and my kids had an enormous hamburger topped with chèvre. The meal was truly excellent. The chorizo was simmered in a wine sauce which we subsequently used as a dip for bread.... beautiful. After this feast we had squid with risotto in an ink sauce. It was a bit salty, but the squid was fresh and the ink sauce was so good we asked for more bread. Despite ordering enough for a small army, when the bill came we were shocked to see how little everything cost.

The chorizo board that everyone around us had looked even better! But I have to say, the 4€ Frites Maison (house made fries) were quite possibly the best French fries I have ever had. Amazing. We got them for the kids but ended up eating half of them ourselves! The ambiance is really nice and there is an outdoor seating area toward the back, too. Finally, the service was friendly and we felt like it was definitely a local's joint. There were no other tourists despite the place being packed on a Thursday night.

The staff is fun, friendly and eager to take care of you too. Standout menu items were the maybe the honey glazed root veggies and the charcuterie plate (but it was all fun and interesting). Great place for a meal but also a lovely place to just sip a glass of wine with a side dish or two. If I lived in Carcassonne, I'd surely be regular here!
