圣拉法尔大厦

Dos Cuiners, which boasts a central location and a relaxed industrial decor, is, as the name suggests, run by two chefs, Òscar Pérez and Mar Arnalot, the latter in charge of desserts. Their cuisine is centred around a menu of small plates/“raciones” perfect for sharing, enabling guests to taste a larger number of dishes (they recommend 3 or 4), with a continual focus on contemporary Catalan cooking with a hint of fusion influence. They also offer a good-value-for-money lunchtime menu, an interesting “Pica Pica” option (a minimum of two people), plus a more gastronomic menu.

This iconic restaurant, which held three Michelin stars for many years, has adopted a new, much more informal bistro format featuring numerous images and mementoes that highlight the career of legendary chef Carme Ruscalleda. Her son Raül Balam Ruscalleda and Brazilian chef Murilo Rodrigues Alves are now in charge, offering a contemporary, Catalan-influenced menu that includes unpretentious dishes, Brazilian touches and a nod to the history of the restaurant.

Located in the heart of Mataró and boasting an intriguing interior décor, this restaurant features design details and curious aesthetic nods to Art Deco. Chef Pepi Sánchez, visible from the dining room thanks to the glass-walled kitchen, serves up a traditional yet updated menu that is full of creative touches and nods to other cuisines. The à la carte service is complemented by several set menus: Weekly (lunch), Sangiovese Nights (dinner only) and the Festival Tasting Menu.
