"Somehow" got off highway and wind up in Girona, right in front of this place. Very hungry. We park car. They are closed until 8pm Lady comes out of her house and wants to know what we are doing here. We say hungry. She says they are closed but she will get them to open and get us something to eat! WHAT! So this wonderful woman tells us to follow her in. Negotiations are made and we are eating 2 hours before they open. Food is sandwiches and cheese and other things I have forgotten. It is very good. They even give us food to take with us, No charge. Thank you nice lady and Marisqueria Restaurant. After our return I discover this is a restaurant located in a Hostel. It's Hostel Can Blanco. Don't know about it. There are many Hostels in Spain. I have never stayed in one but have had a meal at 4 of them. For whatever reason they have all been very good.

We are completely confused. This restaurant is well-reviewed and the owner has published two…read morecookbooks, so our group of 4 were all shocked to be served what could most accurately be described as hospital food. The starter salad was not fresh and not seasoned. The vegetable of the day was overcooked boiled potatoes and green beans with no seasoning. The soup of the day was as thick as glue, and again, under-seasoned. The fresh hake was deep fried and overcooked. The "steak" was a cheap cut, maybe 3mm thin, and looked like something that would be served at a prison. We sat at the restaurant looking at online photos from positive reviews, wondering if we had shown up on the chef's day off. We do not speak Catalan, but when our waitress came to clear our plates, and saw that we hadn't eaten some items, she made it clear that she understood why. We had a dozen items. The pork cheek was decent. The ice cream was fine. The crema was fine. Nothing else. This was easily the worst meal we had in a MONTH in Catalonia.

We came here at the recommendation of a local and I have a feeling that it will be hard to find…read moreanother restaurant during our trip to Spain that beats this place and both value and taste. We were told that the sons of the owners of this restaurant own the 3 Michelin star restaurant just down the street. It's no wonder their kids have cooking chops because the food at Can Roca is as good as home made gourmet food gets. For two people with drinks, our 3 course meal (not counting a poached egg complementary starter) came out to less than 30 euros! We came at the end of the lunch crowd, around 4pm, when they were closing their lunch hours and reopening later for dinner. Despite the odd hour, the restaurant was completely packed but we didn't have to wait long to get a table. The whole place was locals only. Their menu is small and we were told they were already out of quite a few items. We basically told our server to give us whatever they had still available and whatever else she recommended. I can't tell you the names of the dishes but everything was just spectacular. We had these potato croquettes that were so divine, a bit salty from the meat mixed in, but super creamy. Even the potato and peas dish turned out to be really good- simple but satisfying. For the main dishes, we got the ribs with roasted chestnuts, and a stewed beef with mushrooms. The meats were so tender. And then for dessert we got some type of chocolate mousse with cookie crumbles and a coconut cream mousse with pineapple bits. This is the stuff you can expect to get at a fancy restaurant, definitely not at a mom and pop shop. Needless to say, we left very full and will definitely be back next time we are here.

Came here for a casual dinner and we really enjoyed our meal. We had no reservations but were able…read moreto get seated right away on a weekday. Indoor and outdoor seating available, although note that there is a surcharge for sitting outside. We ordered the patates braves with two different sauces (not on the listed menu), croquettes, tempura prawns, and puff pastry bread 33 (veal, egg, truffle cream). Everything came out fairly quickly and were tasty. The puff pastry bread 33 is my boyfriend's favorite thing to get, while I particularly enjoy the patates braves.

Average to go, fast food. We needed something quick and easy and this was a good fit for those…read moreparameters m.
