  Pros

  We stayed in Girona, but decided to travel 1.5hours by train to Sant Pol de Mar to try out Carme Ruscalleda's cooking and we're glad we did. During the same holiday we also went to El Celler de Can Roca. And to be perfectly honest, the service at Sant Pau is much better and the food is on par! fter dinner Carme herself came over to our table (none of the Roca brothers could be bother to do this, by the way) and I told her that I thought her restaurant was better. She showed great humbleness.

  Cons

  In hindsight, it would have probably been better for us to have gone for lunch though, as the taxi ride back to Girona at 1pm at night costed about 85 euros.

  Pros

  Definitivamente los postres son su fuerte.

  Cons

  En general una ¡gran decepción! Gambas y alcachofas bien, per no extraordinario. Salmonete sin chiste, canelones de carnes regular. Carta de vinos amplia, sin ofertase maridajes. Conclusión: ¡No merece las las 3 estrellas!

  Pros

  Cocina mediterránea muy muy muy fina, sútil, delicada, a su máximo esplendor. Se nota el dominio total de los productos. Es muy interesante que consiga tanto con una cocina tan "local". En particular, el plato de quesos con maridajes de sabores azucarados era espectacular. Y lo del Mondrian gastronómico justifica el desplazamiento. Postres excelentes.

  Cons

  Vinos muy caros, con precios muy inflados con respecto a lo que se suele ver.

  Pros

  Congratulations on your 3rd star - so long overdue that one wonders what happened. On the two visits the food represented a gastronomical pinnacle, easily beating other top-star restaurants in Spain and France, AND at a lower price. No other place has ever delivered the number of 'wow' flavours as Can Roca. Enough said.

  Cons

  No restaurant is perfect. Service is at times slow, but that is how continental Europeans like to eat. Some want to be seen out in the crowd whereas Can Roca makes you feel one of few guests disliked, not this guest.

  Pros

  Pleasant seaside setting. Attentive service. €144 degustation menu - lunch - food varied and texturally vibrant.

  Cons

  Minimal reception area. Interior non-homogeneous; too contrasting. Far more importantly, for a three-star restaurant the flavours were often just too simple. There was only one 'wow!' surprise ('rojo de frambuesas') and three truly excellent dishes (the croquette, 'taco de rape' and 'pluma de derdo iberico'). Out of a total of 13 this is just not enough. The rest were pedestrian but good.

  Pros

  Un des plus grands repas de notre vie. Produits souvent simples et terriblement mis en valeur, profondeur de saveurs jusqu'à l'orgasme culinaire. Un sens de l'accueil incomparable, un service parfait et à la venue de Carme Ruscalleda ; on fond presque en larmes de bonheur ! Tout à fait exceptionnel !
