阿古达城堡

We are always trying to discover new and interesting food experiences, something that is achieved to perfection at L'Ó. Its setting is opposite the Benedictine monastery of Sant Benet (dating back to the year 960) and next to the prestigious Fundación Alicia (ALI-mentación y cien-CIA), a research centre dedicated to food and science, the aim of which is to make us eat more healthily.Located inside the Món Sant Benet hotel and under the baton of chef Ivan Margalef, the restaurant focuses on cuisine that uses locally sourced organic ingredients in innovative contemporary dishes that showcase the

It’s impossible to mention the Hostal Colomí without recognising the hard work put in by the Camps sisters, Nati and Rosita, as they are the pillars on which this centrally located and very popular family-run restaurant are built. The restaurant offers a welcoming dining room dominated by an open-view grill and a second room on the first floor which is reserved for groups and weekend dining. The home-style and grilled Catalan dishes emerging from the kitchen here are supplemented by numerous regional and traditional recipes. The delicious cod fritters are a particular favourite as are the reci

The name of this restaurant, which can be translated as “dreamers”, showcases the personality of chef David Andrés and his brother Xavier who are behind the transformation of an old tanning factory next to the Museu de la Pell (Leather Museum) in Igualada. In this industrial-style setting of stone walls, open brickwork, designer furniture and striking leather decoration hanging from the ceiling (a nod to the history of the building), enjoy modern and fun cuisine with its roots in traditional cooking, including the option of a concise à la carte and a well-priced weekday lunchtime menu (which c

Els Comdals is also popular with groups and as an event venue.

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.

This impressively run family restaurant boasts a delightful decorative backdrop of antique objects (large wall clocks, wind instruments, coffee grinders etc) plus an open grill at the far end of the dining room. The traditionally focused Catalan cuisine on offer here features excellent stews, aged meats and plenty of grilled options (we particularly enjoyed the grilled duck breast). A selection of the restaurant’s own still and sparkling wines are also sold here.

A restaurant that goes beyond an enjoyable experience by also focusing on a sense of place. Here, the chef serves traditional Catalan and seasonal cuisine, including several interesting menus.
