    English Absolutely Horrible Experience - Avoid This Place…read more I rarely write negative reviews, but this was beyond unacceptable. My family and I (including two small children) purchased ice cream from this store and sat down to enjoy it. We also had a pastry from a nearby shop with us. Moments later, the owner came out and very aggressively told us we couldn't sit there unless we bought something--which we had. I calmly explained we had purchased from her store, even offered to spend another €20 to avoid any issue, but she continued to raise her voice, curse in front of the children, and make rude, vulgar remarks toward our group. When confronted about her language, she flat-out lied, despite it being witnessed. The whole situation was handled with hostility and zero professionalism. My daughter was left in tears and frightened. No one--especially children--should be subjected to that kind of behavior from someone in the service industry. There are plenty of other ice cream shops with excellent products and far better customer service. I highly recommend avoiding this place. No dessert is worth that kind of treatment Spanish Experiencia Horrible - No Recomiendo Este Lugar Rara vez escribo reseñas negativas, pero esta experiencia fue totalmente inaceptable. Estábamos con nuestra familia, incluidos dos niños pequeños, y compramos helado en esta tienda para sentarnos a disfrutarlo. También llevábamos un pastel de una tienda cercana. Poco después, la dueña salió muy agresivamente a decirnos que no podíamos sentarnos allí si no habíamos comprado nada, cuando claramente sí lo habíamos hecho. Incluso le ofrecí comprar 20 euros más en helado si era un problema, pero continuó levantando la voz, diciendo groserías delante de los niños y haciendo comentarios vulgares hacia nuestro grupo. Cuando se le reclamó por su lenguaje, lo negó rotundamente, a pesar de que varias personas lo escucharon. Toda la situación fue manejada con una falta total de respeto y profesionalismo. Mi hija terminó llorando y asustada. Nadie, y mucho menos los niños, debería ser tratado así por alguien que trabaja en atención al cliente. Hay muchas otras heladerías con buen producto y excelente trato al cliente. Este lugar no merece ni una visita. No vale la pena vivir una experiencia tan desagradable por un helado. Italian Esperienza Terribile - Sconsiglio Assolutamente Questo Posto Scrivo raramente recensioni negative, ma questa esperienza è stata davvero inaccettabile. Ero con la mia famiglia, inclusi due bambini piccoli, e abbiamo comprato un gelato in questo negozio per sederci e gustarlo. Avevamo anche una pasta comprata in una pasticceria lì vicino. Poco dopo, la proprietaria è uscita in modo estremamente aggressivo dicendoci che non potevamo sederci lì se non avevamo acquistato nulla, anche se era evidente che avevamo comprato da lei. Le ho perfino offerto di acquistare altri 20 euro di gelato per evitare problemi, ma ha continuato a urlare, a dire parolacce davanti ai bambini e a rivolgere commenti volgari verso il nostro gruppo. Quando le è stato fatto notare il linguaggio offensivo, ha mentito negando tutto, nonostante ci fossero testimoni. L'intera situazione è stata gestita con totale mancanza di rispetto e professionalità. Mia figlia è scoppiata a piangere ed era spaventata. Nessuno, soprattutto dei bambini, dovrebbe essere trattato in questo modo da chi lavora nel settore del servizio al pubblico. Ci sono molte altre gelaterie con ottimi prodotti e un servizio clienti davvero cordiale. Evitate questo posto: nessun gelato vale un'esperienza così spiacevole. I wrote it In three different languages bc the experience was so bad.

    I wish I could give this place zero stars. Sadly, this was one of the worst customer service…read moreexperiences I've ever had. The shop assistant or owner (not sure) attitude was incredibly off-putting--someone with that demeanor should not be running or working at a business that serves families and tourists looking for a pleasant experience. Her lack of courtesy completely ruined what should have been a simple, enjoyable outing. No ice cream is worth being treated that way.

    Truly exceptional. But this is not merely a restaurant--it is a mythological opera, enacted in the…read moreform of a tasting menu. The story begins not with a dish, but with a timeline you can eat, charting the ascent of three siblings from humble familial duty to culinary transcendence. You do not "dine" here. You witness a narrative of obsession, transformation, and fate--the kind that only arises when blood ties are mixed with butter, fire, and an unbearable drive for excellence. The youngest of the three, a pastry chef, emerges like a trickster figure from folklore, sweetening the end of the journey with a sense of mischief and melancholy. His takeover of the narrative is not declared; it is felt, as a shift in temperature, in tone, in destiny. The food--what can I say? Each course is like a quiet revelation, as if the universe momentarily aligned to allow perfection, then moved on, uncaring. There is no comfort here, only beauty that leaves you slightly devastated. The architecture of the space is austere but luminous, a kind of sacred geometry. The ceramics and silverware are ritualistic tools, not mere vessels. They suggest a world in which aesthetics are a moral responsibility--as if to serve food without beauty would be a sin against nature itself. To eat here is to be reminded that all creation is fleeting, that excellence is a burden, and that even in triumph, there is solitude.

    A pain to book, but a wonderful experience at el celler and in girona. The setting is beautiful,…read morethe service is great, the wine list is extensive, the tasting is well paced. The food is creative and interesting, there wasn't a weak dish but at the same time most of the food is very good but only a few real standouts for me. But we thoroughly enjoyed the meal even after waiting 11 months from booking to experience. The meal begins with generous servings of the house cava, then straight into canapes (about 15 of them, a mini tasting before the real menu ha). The wine pairing was pretty good, also had a bottle for the meal. favorite courses were the tomatoes, eel and figs, eggplant, the duck set, and the air dessert! also highly recommend staying at the roca brothers' hotel (hotel casa cacao)

    We are in Girona for El Celler de can Roca. Staying two nights so we have one free night with…read morenothing planned. We asked our hotel for recommendations, unfortunately a lot of places were closed due to prior week's flower festival. Luckily our awesome hotel concierge was able to book a last minute reservation for us at Massana. We had no expectations walking in, except knowing the fact that it has one Michelin. It BLEW our mind. Every single dish was perfectly executed, with the perfect balance of flavors and texture. My favorites were eel, duck, and lamb. Eel was perfectly cooked and on top of a layer of pork belly - it literally melted in your mouth. So was the duck breast - thinly sliced, complimented by some pickled shallots, it was simply perfection. And just when I thought the night couldn't get any better, the waiter brought out lamb shoulders. It's the part of animal that works hard, so full of flavors but usually not easiest to cook. Here, it was once again cooked to perfection - unbelievably tender and exploded in your mouth with flavors. The meal ended with two amazing desserts, one tart and one sweet. Perfect ending to an amazing dinner. Service was also impeccable, with great local wine recommendations to compliment our meal throughout. Coming from New York, I think Massana could easily compare to any three Michelin star restaurants we've been to in the city, if not better. And with only one third of the price. So if you are in girona and couldn't get into the roca brothers restaurant, come here, you can thank me later.

    An amazing experience. The cost was not bad for the quality of meal. The service was friendly and…read moreattentive and choreographed so well. The food was incredible and creative. Some of my favorite foods were in this meal. I highly suggest the tasting menu with wine pairings. One of my favorite experiences in Girona.
