Casa Rural Can Caponet

A family-run restaurant named after a thermal wind from the southwest that blows across the whole of the Levante region. The owner-chef, who has taken over the reins following the retirement of his parents, is closely involved with the collective of “Cuina Vallès” chefs, and their straightforward approach to traditional Catalan cuisine. As a result, the menu is bursting with legendary classic dishes such as Mongetes del ganxet white beans from Can Casamada, tripe with chickpeas, crispy fried brains, and the delicious oxtail stew. The daily menu is particularly popular here!

The name of this family-run restaurant is an unmistakeable reference to Michelin’s stars which the French refer to colloquially as “macaroons”.Here, in a modern yet welcoming ambience, discover chef Miquel Aldana’s propensity for high-quality Catalan cuisine that is contemporary in style, adapted to seasonality and firmly connected to the surrounding El Maresme area of Barcelona province. Tresmacarrons’ culinary philosophy is based around the pleasure of a job well done and complete commitment, as demonstrated by its tasting menus (Corto and Tresmacarrons).

The best aspect of this kind of family-run restaurant is the unhurried and stress-free approach which is very much in keeping with the principles of the Slow Food movement. The focus of the married couple that run and own Lluerna, Víctor Quintillà (in the kitchen) and Mar Gómez (front of house), is on sustainable cuisine that champions locally sourced ingredients (chicken from the Penedés area, Duroc pigs, Xisqueta lambs, pigeon from the Tatjé family etc). These are showcased via a modern take on Catalan recipes that uses skilled techniques to enhance their delicate textures and maximise each

A modern atmosphere, especially cosy, and with a profusion of wood, this restaurant invites us to stay a while. From the kitchen comes an updated Mediterranean proposal, with Catalan roots and nods to international cuisine, providing a fresh, almost botanical look, very much in line with the name of the restaurant. The à la carte is complemented by a set lunch menu on weekdays and a tasting menu.

Although the word “Vapor” (the Spanish for “steam”) automatically brings to mind the world of gastronomy, here, in a lively pedestrianised street in Terrassa’s old quarter, it is also used to pay tribute to the unusual industrial revolution that took place in Terrassa in the 19C, where steal transformed its textile industry and led to the town’s reputation as “the town of steam engines”. Behind the façade, you’ll find a pleasant brasserie-style eatery with an open-view kitchen, where the regionally inspired à la carte always champions locally produced and “zero-miles” ingredients. Make sure yo

A good location in a narrow pedestrianised street in Terrassa’s old quarter. The couple who own it (Imma is in charge of the dining room while Sergio mans the stoves) focus on updated traditional cuisine which, whenever possible, uses locally sourced organic ingredients and tries to revive long-forgotten recipes from local farms, albeit with a modern twist. The name of the restaurant, which translates literally as “the sky of the geese”, is an expression frequently used by Imma’s grandfather to describe anything that was “sublime”. Varied à la carte, set daily menu, plus an extensive seasonal

The name of this restaurant (the Catalan for mackerel) clearly shows its intentions, as it describes a fish which is easily affordable to one and all. The latter concept is the predominant idea behind Verat, the younger sibling of the award-winning Lluerna next door, where chef Víctor Quintillà popularises his cuisine in fusion dishes and “raciones”. Here, in a young and informal ambience full of character, choose between three menus for a minimum of two people (Petit, Verat and Festival) plus a few specialities that should not be missed, such as the crunchy Duroc pork ear with a kimchi mayonn
