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.

They asked me how I liked my beef cooked (a pointe) and it was nicely tender. The fries/frites were some of the better ones I've had, especially in terms of crispness and texture. You have a choice of dipping sauces. What was fun was the jovial atmosphere from the locals and the staff. You can take the food to some other part of the food court, but you can also sit at the counter. I recommend the counter. There's only seating for maybe 8-10 people arranged in an L-shape. The staff of two was pleasant and their English good enough to handle me, as my French was terrible. Watching how locals hang out and eat at the counter was a treat. Bathrooms: Part of the food court, in the back near the bar.

Dessert was Canutillos (2 horns filled with Catalan crème). What a terrific repast. Others at the table had broiled Hake with vegetables, a plate of steamed shrimp, and Catalan Crème dessert (like Crème Brûlée). One challenge was no English spoken but we survived with some Spanish, some Catalan and a bit of French (as this is so close to the border.

Hungry after visiting the Dali Museum, we searched for a place to eat. I saw this place on google…read moremaps with some good reviews and the few reviews on Yelp concurred, so we decided to go for it. Boy, were we glad we did. 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.
