They now offer a set menu, kind of a mystery menu, they ask questions and then size to the table. We opted for ordering off the menu for ir group of 6. We were there celebrating a birthday.

This place is far easiest to get reservations than Disfruitar and they offer the delicious Panchino brioche filled with caviar and crème fraische but they also have a meat one which I might say is tastier!!

The first time I came to Barcelona I missed Girona as a day trip and now that I've been here I insist if you're in Catalonia you simply must experience this. A full day maybe two. The massive church is not just Romanesque, there are Gothic and Baroque elements. There are 8 pagan and early Christian sarcophagi (the 4th century), the recumbent Christ dates back to the 14th century by sculptor Aloi de Montbrai. It's just breathtaking. There is an admission fee, I can't remember what it was because a visit here is truly a priceless experience. It is up a steep climb but just take your time, rest a bit, climb on. Do not miss this.

A beautiful church that was once known as Girona's only cathedral up until the 10th century. It's…read morewell known for its' gothic structure, interior artwork, and slim bell tower. The church is named after and dedicated to St. Felix of Girona. I did a walking tour of Girona and the Basilica of Sant Feliu was one of the highlights. It isn't nearly as popular or as crowded as the nearby Girona Cathedral, but it still holds a great significance to the city. I did not get to tour the inside of the church, but the facade is charming enough to warrant a visit even if you don't go inside. If you're able to embark on a guided walking tour of the city, you'll learn a lot about the history of the church. Since Girona is small, most tours include the Basilica of Sant Feliu and you'll be able to walk through most of the downtown area in one day. It's worth a stop and at least a walking tour if you're planning to explore Girona.

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.

For those not interested in the details, the quick summary of this place is: mediocre food and…read moreservice for a 3 starred Michelin restaurant, served one member of our party a piece of ceramic (choking hazard) and did not adequately remediate the issue, and gave 3 of 6 of our party members stomach problems after dinner. Save your money and a trip to Girona if you're going from Barcelona and go to Cocina Hermanos Torres, a restaurant that truly lives up to the 3 Michelin star reputation. Here is the detailed account of our experience at El Celler: I dined at this restaurant with a party of 6 on the 20th of May. One of the people in my party had the misfortune of finding shards of what appeared to be ceramic from one of the plates as she was eating. She found them while eating the food and had to spit them out and place the pieces on the side. She notified the waiter that picked up the plates about the pieces of ceramic, and unfortunately, only received a "sorry for that" as a reply, with no other gesture of apology provided by anyone else the rest of the night. Given their reputation as a 3 Michelin starred restaurant, not only is the presence of the ceramic pieces in the food appalling, but the nonchalant attitude towards the incident afterward was extremely disappointing. While we certainly did not expect the restaurant to compensate her meal, a small token or gesture in the form of a small discount, free beverage, replacement plate, anything, would have been greatly appreciated. This is far from what we expect from a Michelin establishment given our experience at a variety of other restaurants of similar caliber we have dined at, and cannot overstate how alarming it is that a choking hazard can make it past quality control and nothing is done to repair the situation even after politely bringing it to the staff's attention. The most impressive part of the night was the cheap taxi we took back to Barcelona. Okay, fine, the dessert part of the meal was fun and delicious, so maybe that was the most impressive, but followed closely by the taxi. Below are other details where El Celler completely missed: - Bread taken away from one of our party members without asking if they were done - No folding or replacement of napkins when someone left their seat - Being rushed at the end of dinner for seemingly no reason as there were other patrons eating that we could see and working through dessert courses we had already finished - Not asked to check in a coat, and instead given a random chair next to our table to throw our stuff on it - Uncomfortably warm temperature - Not everyone having their chair pulled out and pushed in - Seeing other people just standing around and not escorting our party to the bathroom or being helpful in other ways - Gave 3 of 6 members of our party stomach aches and loose bowels after dinner Admittedly, some of the above can sound nitpicky, however, this meal stands in a stark contrast to a meal we had the very next day at another 3 Michelin star restaurant, Cocina Hermanos Torres. Better in every way, they outclassed El Celler and provided food and service above and beyond what I've come to expect. Every single issue I had with El Celler was not present at Hermanos Torres, and did the opposite of what El Celler did to make our experience comfortable and exceptional. I am not sure El Celler is worthy of a single Michelin star, and definitely not three. And if it seems like I'm repeating the same point, this is still less repetitive than the number of times they told us one of their dishes contained a sauce made with the head of a langostino. You might also be wondering if I tried providing feedback to El Celler on this. I did, and not because they requested it via an email follow up like I have seen other restaurants do, rather, through the contact email on their website that same night. No response from them yet, which doesn't surprise me considering the apathy demonstrated throughout the ordeal.

And if you plan to stay only a night or two, then be prepared to extend your stay or come back before leaving Spain. Walking into Les Hamaques is like coming home -- if your home were a peaceful, stylish retreat of understated elegance and French country charm in the Spanish countryside a stones throw away from a beautiful beach and stunning coastline and miles from crowds, traffic, and the stress of everyday life. Ino, Dominique and Natalie are the family you would choose if you could choose your family. They are kind and thoughtful with impeccable taste and grace, attending to your every need the way your best friends would - not because they have to but because they want to make you happy, comfortable and relaxed in their beautiful home. Need a massage after that long flight -- no problem, Natalie is amazing and the price is right. A drink more your style? The classic bar is all laid out for you to take what you want and just write it down to pay later. Relax in front of the fireplace? Check. A dip in the pool? Check. A lazy afternoon in the hammock? Check. Dinner at the local restaurants you didn't even know existed? No problem, Ino knows all the best places and will get you reservation when one does not exist. Dominique will tell you where to see the small villages without the crowds, and where to shop for antiques, local pottery, that perfect gift. Better yet, take home some of the the locally made, delicious smelling lotions and soaps from Les Hamaques or one of Natalie's unique and lovingly handmade decorations. We live in Hawaii, but Les Hamaques is truly Paradise. Do not miss it.

This was one of only two hotels on Trip Advisor that had rooms available in August. While Cadaques…read moreis very small, this place was at the "edge" of town, which basically means about a 15 minute walk and fairly dark at night for the last few minutes. Driving in can be fairly, uh, "exciting." If you survived the narrow roads on the mountain pass, you drive to the sea, turn right at the Dali statue and creep through down on a tiny one-way lane among the pedestrians. At one point, you drive through arches right on the seawall itself. I am sure that waves splash over the road from time to time, so be patient and careful! I think our room was #318(?) which was around back with literally zero view. It was fairly large, but with the exception of the recently refurbished large bathroom, it just felt "old." The room had these old varnished slab doors that reminded me of elementary school and looked like they were installed in the '70s. The saving grace was that the breakfast was quite elegant and the views of town were superb. If I were to do it again, I would search a little harder to find something closer to the center of the village. Definitely wish that I had more time for Cadaques!
