To top it off, the cardamom-infused tea was a fragrant, soothing finish and the desserts...wow. The rustic setting added so much charm, and the owner was incredibly kind and welcoming. Truly an unforgettable meal and experience.

Everything about El Cul was divine. The appetizers (Moroccan salad, pumpkin soup, and meat selection) were tasty and just the right portion. The artisanal bread did come with a 1.10 supplement fee - kind of tacky but entirely worth it. And the olive oil? Good grief that stuff is liquid gold. Get the bread for the olive oil alone! My lamb shank entree was a very hearty serving and cooked to perfection. Crispy on the outside and succulent in. My friends had the chicken cannelloni which was much more petite yet still delish. (Save your pasta ordering for Italy. They do great rice dishes in Spain and this was tasty, but vai a Italia per la pasta della nonna!) Other friend's sea bass was cooked to perfection. Chocolate desserts, oh my! Yup, get those too.

This is the best restaurant in Le Seu d'Urgell. It is also where I had one of the best dining…read moreexperiences of my life. Very small and unassuming, pKTus exceeds all culinary expectations if you are seeking authentic Catalan cooking. Set in the historic old city of La Seu d'Urgell, the inside of pKTus is sleek and modern. It seats no more than 25 people and specializes in "flatbreads" -- but not what you're thinking. Beautiful bread, fresh local vegetables and amazingly creative dishes and presentation. I don't give out too many five star ratings... pKTus is so deserving with great service, incredible wine list and delicious food. The tomato salad was amazing, the vinegar anchovy flatbread and cuttlefish and meatball flatbreads were remarkable and the zucchini carpaccio was also heavenly.

Luckily enough we come across with the Pktus restaurant. What a perfect evening, what a nice dinner we had in family. The Pktus is a very small restaurant but big in terms of quality and Catalan food specialities. It's an amazing experience worst of at least having once in your life. Fusion and home made cooking with bit of summary is what you will find in this excellent restaurant. For sure I'll be back very soon.

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 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.

Este verano hay una chica terriblemente grosera que parece ser encargada o recepcionista y que se alterna con un chico latinoamericano que lleva años y que es bastante cordial. La primera vez la chica fue agresiva para explicarme que si venía solo y sin reserva mis opciones eran la barra o una mesa en la ventana con el sol a tope. Aunque no me gustaron sus formas, agradecí y preferí irme Hoy decidí ir únicamente a tomar una ginebra a las 4 de la tarde, le pregunté si todavía era posible, me dijo que si y después la misma dinámica, Barra o Mesa asoleada... Debido al horario habían muchas mesas vacías y le pregunté si podía ocupar alguna de ellas y ahí es donde mi insolencia y atrevimiento de pedir algo fuera de su "guión" despertó su ira. De pésima gana me dijo que esperara por que tenía que limpiarla y cuando ofrecí sentarme en una limpia para no molestarla se abalanzó sobre la mesa en cuestión a limpiarla ente resoplos y palabras inaudibles que supongo no serían demasiado cariñosas. Le dije de la manera más amable posible que con esas formas y de mala gana prefería mejor irme Y así lo hice. No pretendo afectar a este negocio ya que como dije, su servicio siempre había sido correcto pero si es hacer conscientes a los dueños/socios/responsables de "La barra de Sant Cugat" sobre este hecho que al menos a mi me obliga a no volver. Suerte

El Castell de Ciutat is located about ten kilometers from the border of Andorra, in the Urgellet Valley. The hotel is a somewhat cozy structure of wood sitting below the castle of Seu d'Urgell. Also, the hotel rooms all have balconies that provide impressive views of the Cadi Mountains. We were on a Tauck tour that arranged the owners of the Hotel/Castle to be sure that our stay was a memorable one. They arranged on our first evening live music concert in the castle, on another evening, a private cheese tasting and dinner event in the castle. But what was an interesting and somewhat educational event was the start to finish the making of a seafood paella. The best part we had the pleasure to eat it for lunch with some fabulous wine. So besides a great activities that we had the great pleasure to enjoy the hotel has a beautiful spa and heated indoor swimming pool. I truly enjoyed our visit very much and we must also commend the director of our Tauck tour that was a large part of our wonderful experience at the El Castell de Ciutat.

Situated on a bluff overlooking the charming, upscale small city of Le Seu d' Urgell, this family run resort is truly lovely. It's only 10 minutes to the Andorran border, so we spent an entire day hiking high up in El Serrat. Following a day of hiking it's great to come back to the pool, the terrace and a glass of wine. A couple of service glitches and one issue -- it turned out to be minor -- was the wifi. It was weak and spotty and It simply did not work in our room, so we needed to go to the lobby to communicate back home or use google. I'd love to give 5 stars, but the WiFi and service issues didn't measure up to that level. But in all, a truly lovely stay.
