In his namesake restaurant in Barcelona, he creates an authentic Catalonia-inspired menu using only certified local ingredients that are sustainable, organic, and ethically sourced wherever possible. Sergi de Meia's commitment to not only outstanding cuisine, but also to the environment and the community is impressive. A friend and I enjoyed an outstanding dinner at Sergi de Meia. The staff was wonderful, providing impeccable and attentive service that goes above and beyond the standard of hospitality. I thought the restaurant design was beautiful, and while the space is narrow and deep, the décor is light and contemporary, which makes for a great atmosphere. We share similar tastes, so my friend and I each ate the same dishes. We started with a taste of cauliflower cream, with pea shoots and crushed nuts. The cream was smooth and the nuts added a crunchy texture. The local asparagus with sheep's cheese cream and herbs was fresh and earthy, the vegetable tender and not tough, while the cream was salty and seasoned with the right mix of herbs. We also tried eggs and potato riojana style, and the flavors really gave a sense of the famous region of Spain. During the main course, we enjoyed fresh fish from the local market, with fresh green peas, chanterelle and saffron, which added a beautiful dose of color. We also loved the dish of local sheep, pumpkin, egg and cheese, as the texture provided an outstanding mouthfeel and is the epitome of local comfort food. For dessert, the server recommended the specialty chickpea fritters with cream, which use the traditional Catalonian chickpea flour. They were sweet and dense, a perfect way to end the delicious meal.

It was incredible to think that the Chef that arranged the menu, brought our food, gave us a bit of a story behind the dishes. All while looking over as the crowd steadily built through our dinner. It is such a rare dinning experience. We had a prefix menu with some options to select from. The timing was great, not fast giving you time to enjoy every bite. The food was hot which was important since it was such delicate dishes. So much flavor, we tried food outside our comfort zone and loved it. Chef Sergi really nails the pairings in food selection. I do not believe you can get a better meal than here in all of Barcelona. We only wish he had a restaurant in Los Angeles, California.

An absolutely wonderful experience. From the service to the food and the price!…read more Came here with three others for a nicer lunch. They do a set lunch menu for 20 euros. This included beer or wine, bottled water, bread and oil to start, and four courses including dessert. An additional bottle of wine is just 8 euros, very honest and fair of the restaurant! The menu has few options, so if you are very picky or have allergies, it would be wise to contact the restaurant beforehand. The place is nice. Not fancy or overdone, just simply well designed with some interesting elements. The sort of place where it seems to direct your focus solely to your table, allowing the food to command your full attention. The plates are explained in great detail as they come out. The bread was delicious!! Freshly baked, perfect chewy bite. Our next two courses were a quail dish and an asparagus soup topped with crispy prawns. For the mains, I got the leg of lamb that came with some veggies underneath. I also tried the other option which was a lighter take on fish and chips (minus the chips!). Everything was executed beautifully. Wonderful and interesting flavor combinations, perfect temperature, also perfect portions. I'm not entirely sure what the desserts were, but one was a chocolate dish with some passion fruit sorbet and the other was a cold fruit sorbet type thing...... oh I'm not describing it well. Both dishes were also incredibly creative and made with modern gastro techniques. I think coffees were also included in the price. Everyone in my party greatly enjoyed the lunch. We had two "foodies" and the other two more simple eaters who typically scoff at "pretentious food". However, they also really loved it since flavors were so on point. Food quality is also very high. For 20 euros, it is on the higher end of lunches, but I think it was completely worth the price. Highly recommend!!

If you're looking for a unique stay outside of the hustle and bustle of Barcelona proper, this is…read moreit! This hotel provided nearly everything I envisioned in my Spanish adventure. My fiancé (a marathon running, hiking, adventure buff), and myself (a world traveling art enthusiast, localist, and history buff) both found this stay to tick all of our boxes. Here's a bit of our experience that may be helpful when booking yours: -getting to the hotel is a journey for the strong at heart. While you could take a taxi from the airport, or a combination of public transport and taxi, I wouldn't recommend it if staying more than a night or two. The journey up the mountain to the hotel from Loret Del Mar is about 10-15 minutes by car which means if you want to venture outside of the hotel, into the city, or to the nearby beaches or botanical gardens, you're looking at a 15 minute drive down the mountain each and every time. Ubers and taxis are not available/readily available in this area. All of that being said, this is likely the only time I'd suggest investing in renting a vehicle while in Spain. -this 10-15 minute mountain drive does have a few benefits, if you're an adventure enthusiast, hiker, runner or cyclist, the location offers more trails than you're able to explore with beautiful picturesque landscapes around every corner! Plus, you'll find a collection of some of the most beautiful beaches in the world just beyond the mountain. -upon check in you are given a phone (as there are no phones in the rooms), to book reservations at the restaurant, spa, and ask questions related to your stay at the grounds. The grounds themselves are worth exploring. The pool is quiet and beautiful, painting and sculpture are sprinkled throughout the hotel, and the resort occasionally holds yoga in the area by the pool. We didn't try the spa (missed opportunity), but the hotel restaurant is the place to be (with your significant other) for breakfast, and worth a visit for dinner. You can even request breakfast delivered to your door. -- I'll be honest, this hotel is not for everyone. If you have zero interest in history, aesthetics, hiking/biking, scenic views, Costs Brava beaches and local life, this may not be the spot for you. But if you're all about that historical, aesthetic, adventure packed, picturesque experience, THIS is the spot. We surely will keep it in mind next time we visit the area!

I want to begin by saying that the grounds and the hotel itself are actually stunning. My room was…read moreamazing, quite big, with great art and a free standing tub in my bedroom as well as a full bathroom(pretty freaking amazing). The issue started when we arrived; we checked in late around 11pm as our flight from France got in at about 10pm. We were starving when we first entered. We guessed the kitchen was closed in the restaurant, which was true but they also had zero snacks! No chips, no bread, nothing. I then asked for a glass of wine which they seemed unsure if they could bring it or not which struck me as very weird because this hotel is supposed to be amazing with great service. We tried to eat at the restaurant but I am extremely picky about what I eat and they could not accommodate me which is fine but there was no other food at the hotel. I would also like to note the hotel is on a mountain and in order to get food you have to take a cab down the mountain into town and back up. EACH AND EVERY TIME! As much as the hotel claims it is relaxing, this was the most non relaxing hotel I ever stayed in. I will say that they did provide breakfast( orange juice, coffee, breads, jams) delivered to our room every morning but the only thing that was good was the orange juice. After I drank that I ran out to get real food every day! Lastly, the massage I received at the spa was literally not a massage. I explained to the masseuse that I had a little back pain from traveling and hopping on plane to plane and that I would love if she could relieve some of the tightness. She barely touched me, I'm not sure what she did but when I got up I was drenched in oil and my back still hurt. So in short, do go if you're a picky eater, don't go if you want room service, don't go you're used to a certain level of service and also don't go if you want to RELAX. I will say the the concierge at the from desk early in the morning(the man from Cuba) was extremely kind and helped us figure out cabs and such as well as the concierge at night who was the one to bring me the glass of wine and ice when I first arrived. The women who worked the front desk during the day were absolutely no help at all.

The MOST elegant and best restaurant near Figures in Catalonia, I have eaten here twice and both…read moretimes I have been thoroughly satisfied; both times I have had the "Menu Degustation" at 70€ not including wine (about 25€ for a very good bottle) and both times every single aspect of the meal has been absolutely perfect. The food is extremely refined and included in the Menu there are about 10 dishes. The decor of the restaurant may not be to every-bodies tastes (a sort of refined medieval style maybe (I'm not an expert), everything is clean, high class and elegant. The service is also excellent. PS although the postal address is right, the location on the little map is wrong: the restaurant is not in Avinyonet de Puigventós, but a little further on the main road near a village/housing estate called EL MAS PAU, You take the first left then left strait away...You can see a tall Square tower from the road as you drive toward it.

The restaurant is situated in the hotel "Mas Falet" which originally was an ancient castle of the…read moreXVII century. Located in Sant Antoni de Calonge. Totally renovated and full of charm, the building opened its doors to the public a couple of years ago. From the top of the mound where it stands, unveils a beautiful view on the valley, residential neighborhood and Emporda area. When lavender is in blossom here in the garden the smell is just incredible. You can sit inside, but outside patio is so cozy, private and lovely, that you'll definitely will feel comfortable and snug. It's so nice and quiet there, that you forget of the noise and the clutter of the beach cities nearby. Conceptual Mediterranean Cuisine with a personal touch focused on the use of freshest local products. Fish of Palamos and meat from Girona area delivered daily. You can sip wine with local olives enjoying the magic moment of purple time after the sunset. The amuse bouche was the potato mousse with a hint of foie gras, yummy. Whether you start with Jamon Iberico, cheese plate or salad with marinated salmon - it's all good. My personal choice was "Tartar de pato" (duck tartar) which is quite unusual, cause we're used to beef tartar, salmon or tuna. But this one is melting in your mouth and the combination with jamon is a nice touch. Too much of mustard for me, but that was placed separately on the plate, so if you're not a fan of this zest like me, it doesn't influence on the taste of the dish if you don't want it to. Cod fritters are delicate. Lobster stuffed ravioli with saffron sauce were very savory. Cabritio (which is goatling confit) with rosemary honey and potatoes was refined and just perfect. As for dessert - try "Valerie" which is fresh cheesecake with strawberry jam or apple toffee with vanilla ice cream. I have to say here that the carte is so perfectly composed, that you can't help wanting to try most of the dishes and it means that you have to come back for more like they say. There is a couple variations of the menu. Both are ready sets, the Degustation Menu is 55 Euros and Mas Falet Menu is 43 Euros only. All in all, the prices are more than reasonable, considering the quality and exquisite taste. They offer a Kids Menu which is not typical for the place of such approach towards Michelin star restaurant, but it's interesting too and quite diverse. Why not?! It's at the hotel and convenient for some customers. The wine list is not too extensive, there are only four wines out of Spain and that's their conception, some may find that inconvenient, but the impressive fine section consists of wines from the region of Emporda, where, relatively speaking, is located the restaurant. The wine industry in this region has made a big leap forward lately. And following the advice of a very charming sommelier, we chose the wine from the property visible from the restaurant: Clos d'Agon, and were not a bit disappointed. Next time Sommelier promised to get us out of his cellar the stashed bottle of old vintage, so this is one more reason to come back. The service is exceptional; all waiters are charming and helpful. Even if you don't speak Spanish you won't feel uncomfortable or lost. Overall - just adorable experience and a place to come back. Free parking.
