Delicious food and charming atmosphere with outdoor seating…read more We had a delicious meal here. The chicken with shrimp was absolutely divine--one of the tastiest dishes I have had in a long time. I also thoroughly enjoyed the Codfish Andalusian style --perfectly cooked and delicious! For dessert we had some sort of ice cream dish with chestnuts and chocolate--simply one of the best and certainly a highlight of our culinary tour of France and Spain.

Service was really slow, the staff tried to be friendly but couldn't quite pull it off. Prices are…read morevery reasonable, but I'd rather pay a bit more and be satisfied. We ordered the formule of a starter and a main course, and a bottle of wine (after having sat there for maybe 20 minutes ready to order). Our first course was served before the wine, and we had to ask them to bring the wine. The first course was good, and of a reasonable size. The main couse was smaller than the first course, so that left us a bit puzzled. The staff went running around as if in complete chaos, it seemed as no one really was in control. The only time a staff member approached us and asked if everything was fine was when we had paid and left no tips in the little bowl they bring the receipt in - he came over to our table, pointed at the tip-less bowl, and looked at us: "Is everything ok? Are you fine?". That was the icing on the cake!

One of my favorite dining experiences in Girona! The food was exceptional--succulent lamb chops,…read morerich and comforting cannelloni, and crispy fried artichokes with romesco sauce that I still dream about. To top it off, the cardamom-infused tea was a fragrant, soothing finish and the desserts...wow. The rustic setting added so much charm, and the owner was incredibly kind and welcoming. Truly an unforgettable meal and experience.

Good food is easy to find in Girona. Exceptional food is more of a rarity. El Cul del Món hits it…read moreon the head; beginning with this beautiful stone building and impressive metal sign that greets you, big and bright windows are welcoming from the dark street outside. 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.

I always order vermouth de barril in Spain, which IMHO is the best drink to have with tapas. Owner has wonderful laugh announcing new dishes as the arrive and coordinating new dishes with the kitchen via radio. Very friendly service. A little off the beaten track, but much less expensive than Barcelona.

While Roses maybe overshadowed by the legend of El Bulli and then Rafa's by those in the know,…read morethere is a place in the streets away from the tourist crush. Walk a few blocks away from the water closer to the residential areas and you'll find Cal Negre. Literally a redone house with a large kitchen/fume hood in the middle of the building. We sat outside on a nice warm day and literally we're on the patio of the house. It's like eating in someone's back yard. Specializing in the seafood from the Cap de Creus that Roses is right off of, they also have some other Catalan fare. However you'd best focus on that seafood. Tiger prawns, langoustines and one of the best l'arròs de llagosta I've ever had. A whole lobster on top of an amazing bed or rice with a bunch of surprises throughout. As I kept digging we found mantis shrimp (galera), small harbor crabs (franqueta?), and txipirones (small squid). So damn good across the board. The family were super nice to us and they could tell we were enjoying their food. One of the servers also took the time to teach us some Catalan so we could learn more about the food. If you make your way up the Costa Brava and pass through this area, drop in, get a pitcher of sangria and enjoy some amazing local seafood

I have to think that I ate reheated leftover or the chef doesn't know how to cook beef. My friend ordered the bacalao and was soooo salty she couldn't eat it or she would get a heart attack. I felt that I should take some time during my vacation to write this review just to warn people to look for another place to eat in Girona.
