L'Antic Forn
This unusual and unexpected restaurant, occupying an old bakery tucked away in a corner of the Plaza Mayor (remnants of the old ovens can still be seen embedded in the stone walls) is striking both for its setting, its medieval ambience, and its cuisine, the latter centred around a fusion of Japanese cooking with zero-mile ingredients from the Segarra area. Everything here revolves around two menus: an “executive” menu available at lunchtime, (Tuesday to Friday only), plus a tasting-style option.
TripAdvisor review sample · 4.3/5 · 80 reviews
Located in Cervera's historic center, L'Antic Forn offers creative Japanese fusion cuisine using fresh local ingredients. Reviews highlight high food quality, artistic presentation, and a unique, quiet atmosphere within a centuries-old building. Service is generally praised, though isolated complaints mention reservation errors, perceived rudeness, and inconsistent pacing. Some diners found the flavors unconventional or portions small, suggesting the cuisine requires an adventurous palate. While the culinary execution is highly regarded, potential visitors should verify booking details in advance to avoid misunderstandings. This establishment suits travelers seeking a distinctive, high-quality dining experience rather than traditional sushi.
Suitable for diners seeking creative fusion cuisine and a unique atmosphere, with advance booking verification recommended.
