Quatre Molins

★ Michelin€€€Creative

Given his unique nickname, it would be a surprise not to have heard of Rafel Muria, the so-called ‘honey chef’, for whom this natural product is much more than a fad, given that his family have been involved in beekeeping since 1810 through their company artMuria.In this simple restaurant, this chef who trained in renowned restaurants in Spain, France and Italy focuses on high-level creative cuisine which he showcases via elaborate dishes involving the discreet use of honey to add balance and stability.

Bib Gourmand 5

Aimia

Bib Gourmand€€Modern Cuisine

A restaurant that is well worth considering as it is never easy to find modern cuisine at affordable prices. The restaurant, which takes its name (’a beloved woman’) from an old Catalan language once sung by troubadours, boasts a contemporary interior with a kitchen visible from the dining room and an adjoining bar so that you can watch as the dishes are prepared in front of you.

Sisè

Bib Gourmand€€Contemporary

Sisè is situated in the district of Cappont, a residential area to the south of the city, where it is run in a very informal manner by Àngel Esteve, a young Lleida-born chef who has returned to his roots to open his own business (the name is his own small homage to his grandparents) having worked away in a number of leading restaurants. His cuisine, the main inspiration for which derives from the open grill, is showcased on an updated take on traditional cuisine, to which he adds interesting smoke-influenced touches (a superb example is the grilled cod with celery).

Antoni Rubies

Bib Gourmand€Rice Dishes

Are you crazy about rice dishes? Then don't miss this restaurant, one of the most interesting places to try them in the Segrià region of Lleida.

Chef Iván Vilanova serves up an à la carte of unpretentious dishes with a focus on seasonal ingredients alongside two menus (an “executive” menu for lunch midweek, as well as a tasting option), always striving
