This place is not touristy at all but the Catalan/French influence is strong. It's in a very rural area. I assume everything they cook is sourced locally. Roquefort icecream on a salad anyone? Very relaxed and unpretentious if you're heading up south of France or heading down to Barcelona....they are open at 1:30pm for lunch. Come hungry.

Everything is locally sourced (main components at least), fresh, absolutely delicious and deftly prepared. Albert (chef, owner), and La Barretina, were suggested by our Airbnb host who is another local. He is kind and gracious, excited to share his space and food, and proud to serve the quality he does- rightfully so. The place is in the middle of a rural part of Catalonia, and there isn't much going on- making it quite unassuming. The wine selection is completely locally made and held in a separate cellar attached which Albert will help you with. All bottles totally affordable- recommend trying "Mas Polit", we got a second bottle to go! After that, go wild. The menu is phenomenal. It's simple and humble but the food it stellar. Truly special, the flavors will impress and satisfy anyone from the food conservative to any foodie. The cannelloni are house made rich and delicate, onion cake is sweet, savory and unctuous, and the duck is ridiculous. We tried maybe 8 or 9 items between the two nights and everything was tremendous. I could keep going, but I think I've made the point. Please make an effort to get out to this area of Catalonia- it isn't far from Barcelona. The area totally deserves your attention and time and specifically this restaurant is worth the day trip.

The positive reviews persuaded me to give it a go, although the location adjacent to a gas station and a car wash almost got me to walk away. What a mistake it would have been.

Others at the table had broiled Hake with vegetables, a plate of steamed shrimp, and Catalan Crème dessert (like Crème Brûlée).

The food is extremely refined and included in the Menu there are about 10 dishes. The decor of the restaurant may not be to every-bodies tastes (a sort of refined medieval style maybe (I'm not an expert), everything is clean, high class and elegant. The service is also excellent. PS although the postal address is right, the location on the little map is wrong: the restaurant is not in Avinyonet de Puigventós, but a little further on the main road near a village/housing estate called EL MAS PAU, You take the first left then left strait away...You can see a tall Square tower from the road as you drive toward it.

Eating at El Suprem was one of the highlights of my trip to Spain…read more Located on the edge of town, not far from the train station, El Suprem makes for a great stop when heading in/out of town. Reservations are recommended for lunch, but we were seated as a party of two at 1:30 pm without reservations. The "menu del dia" is 11 Euro and consists of three large courses and a bottle of house wine. Coffee is an extra 1 Euro. I was blown away by the quality and quantity of food for the price. My pork cheek was one of the best things I ate in Spain. Service was warm, despite the language barrier. We had a good time with the waiter trying to translate "eggplant" from Catalan to English. The pace of the lunch is leisurely, so give yourself ample time if planning to catch a train. Five stars all around!

Tonight we want a change from the hotel and elected to catch a cab into Figueres to dine at Sidreria Txots Figueres. We want a town restaurant and to explore the area. 15 minute taxi ride and we arrived in Figueres at Sidreria Txots for dinner. The place has EDM music and feels like a hip, young person spot. We got a window table to people watch and perused the menu. The Iberico ham croquetts were first with a perfect crunch, soft and savory inside. The mango, pickled onions, stracciatella cheese and lettuce salad had a lime dressing. The flavors were bold, crispy and sweet with mango. An enjoyable treat. Our next selection was the calamari a la planca that was perfectly grilled, drizzled with olive oil and lightly salted. It had a good taste, not overcooked and great charred marks. This was another good choice. Our final selection was the 1/2 grilled pulpo a la braso octopus. This was a huge helping for only one half of an octopus. It was good, just a large portion. The staff was very helpful with the English menu and answering questions. They directed us to where the town square was and the super market. Sidreria Txots Figueres was a decent stop but more of a younger, hipper spot than a quiet relaxing environment. The food was still good. It appears with the crowd dining there that Txots is here to stay.

Aside from warm and friendly service, each dish was presented with a thoughtful, artistic touch.

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!
