What a culinary experience! Occi is quite a small restaurant (advanced booking a must) with a…read moresleek modern style that somehow seamlessly incorporates the giant stone walls and pillars of the old Girona building in which it is situated. This unique combo is a bit confusing at first but seems to make perfect sense by the end of the meal (no, there was no wine involved here). The menu consists of dishes that reflect the "modern yet classic" look and feel of the place. Offerings are imaginative and pretty much universally appealing. The thing I liked most about the menu was that it was not simply "twists on a local classic" but instead the chefs used all of the classic local ingredients (and some lesser-seen local produce like rabbit, pigeon and a whole host of local wild mushroom varieties) to create dishes and a style of cuisine that was truly their own. Luckily, we were 5 people so we were able to choose five different starters to share. In order to enjoy each dish and not jumble up all the flavours, our waiter suggested bringing each dish in turn to make a sort of tasting menu. It was a good call as every dish was packed full of its own unique flavour and character that was made somehow all the more enjoyable by tasting it in isolation from the others. Favourites included the taggliatelle with local egg, shrimp and mixed mushrooms, the "arroz de pals" (their delicious take on a risotto) and the rabbit terrine. A word to the wise: the starter portions are LARGE so if you're not hungry or are looking for a lighter meal, you could order less than one per person or even get a few different starters to share between you as a whole meal. Main courses consisted of fish and meat dishes that were just as creative and tasty as the starters. Meat and fish alike were cooked to perfection with accompaniments that complemented and enhanced their wonderful natural flavours. Desserts were light, well presented and as unique and imaginative as previous courses. In conclusion, I would say that Occi offers some incredibly imaginative, tasty and well-executed food made from some of the finest local ingredients and backed up by extremely friendly and helpful service. Dinner was extremely good value for the amount and quality of the food received, coming in at around €40/head for three courses (more with wine, as only one of us had a glass). A definite must-try for anyone, but especially those looking for something a bit different in Girona and the surrounding area. Oh, and if anyone in your party speaks Castellano or Catalan, definitely get a menu in one of those languages as some ingredients and descriptions are lost in translation on the English language menus.

I cannot go on enough about how pictureque this place is. Food is excellent serving both classical Catalan fare and Indian food. Where else can you get Catalan classics like butifarra and mongetes ( sausage and white beans) along with your curry with halal chicken? Steaks are good and so are the salads. We've had the baked fish which is also very good. But my favorite is the Indian food. Where else can you get top notch and authentic Indian food in Spain overlooking spectacular views? I've had the vegetarian curry, lamb curry and chicken Korma. All were excellent. Best Indian food in Spain. I make it a point to come here every year. It is a pilgrimage of sorts for me.

Really--it's less a restaurant than an economic experiment in how far you can stretch the concept of "a special" before it becomes legally actionable. The entire operation seems meticulously engineered to detonate your bill. They offer "specials" which are not only not special, but somehow more expensive than the regular menu--as if the chef added a garnish of economic despair. By the time dessert arrives (which you didn't order, but they bring it anyway "to share"), you're staring at a check that flirts with €100 per person. For food that should cost about €20, max. If you squint, it almost resembles cuisine. Otherwise, it's just nostalgia served warm. The food itself? Not bad, in the same way that rewatching a black-and-white TV show from the '50s isn't bad--if you like your flavors safe, beige, and inoffensively outdated. Imagine a culinary time machine, but the kind that takes you back to a party you didn't want to go to the first time. Atmosphere? Depressing, like a hotel lobby at midnight or a dentist's office that only plays Chopin. Anyway. I hope those corporate "salary dinners" pay off for them. Someone's got to foot the bill for all this emotional damage.
