Description: Marc Gascons, who has been awarded a Michelin-Star, following the huge success of his family-run establishment in Girona has been described as fresh, young and informal, but very much Catalan and Mediterranean in style. The restaurant has a team of twenty people and delivers a seasonal menu designed for sharing, consisting of locally soured produce from the land and sea. Among the dishes designed by Gascons are: honeyed potato gnocchi with butter sauce and black winter truffle; charcoal grilled turbot with roasted leek; and grilled black kid with herbal oil. All dishes can be enjoyed with a impressive selection of wines, ranging from local Catalan to others from Spain, France and Germany.

I stayed once at the hotel, this time i was only at the restaurant and again excellent, food is very good with excellent quality, maybe more food options will help but in general the experience the ambient and service make this hotel restaurant an amazing experience.

I let the restaurant know my food intolerances before we booked.They adjusted the menu to accommodate my issues. Staff were friendly and helpful.seating was comfortable. Relaxed atmosphere. Wide international wine range available. The restaurant is not overly large and mainly used by hotel guests staying at the Serras hotel.

My Wife and I celebrated our wedding anniversary here. Service was good, if not a little slow. Everyone was courteous and friendly. Our waiter explained the menu and recommended a wine for my Wife. The starters we ordered were good, our mains were not bad too. Dessert was ok. It was a pleasant night dining here. I have no complains but I wish it would wow me. Maybe we are just spoiled by good food as we eat Michelin one star in Paris everyday.

Dear 2gerald,

Thanks for visiting us in your Wedding Anniversary. I'm glad you enjoyed everything but I'm a little disappointed that we didn't meet your "wow" expectations. I would like to explain that we don't have the Michelin Star yet, our Chef has one in his other restaurant in Girona. But anyways, we work as if we had it and we love to amaze every one of our guests. I would love that you give us another opportunity to meet expectations in your next visit to Barcelona, I'm sure we can achieve it!

Best regards,
Carla Serra
