New number 972 606 979/638 151 553 Hours of operation : Lunch 1pm - 4pm Dinner 8pm-11pm Wednesday closed all day Tues open for lunch only. Came by this place since it was close to where I was at that time.. There seems to be so many good seafood restaurants in this town. I've been to different restaurant in Barcelona with similar style. But this place preps the dish different style and full service.. The restaurant was very clean, stylish and friendly staff. You pick the seafood, they weight it front of you and cost to cook the style you want. I ordered 2 fresh oysters. Lady helping us said it was her favorite kind/imported from France. $5 a pop so ordered 2 only . Ordered sea urchin, baby clams cooked with garlic and parsley. Also ordered the lagosta arrossos caldosos style.. I was told it was like paella but more soup style.. Only thing I was not happy with was that they had to split it and make it into 2 order which ended up costing 80 euro. But I was in a splurging mood so I decided to go for it. Also ordered fried calamari. So for starter bread.. Seems all the bread main in Spain is yummy. Ordered beer and water... First came oysters and sea urchin.. Oyster was definitely good.. Nice plump size and fresh. Sea urchin was different than one I'm used to. Smaller size but more sweet and less irony. Fried calamari was also yummy. Nice tender and the breading was just right. Baby clam also fresh clean and full of flavor. Now the main dish.. It came in a bit bowl and it reminded me of gumbo. I was bit disappointed to see that it basically had double amount of all dente rice. So one lagosta split in half double amount of rice for 80 euros. This could have been made one serving for 40 euro but that was not an option. But over all it was good. First time having lagosta (weird looking lobster). I think I would have preferred prepared it grilled. Now to dessert.. Order tiramisu and xuixo de girona (was told Girona dessert). Tiramisu in a little cup.. Omg.. I have to say this was one of the best tiramisu I've ever eaten.. Soooo melt in your mouth, I'm in heaven dessert. The other one looked like fried egg roll sprinkled with sugar. Inside was cream I'm told. That was also yummy.. Nice crispy outside and inside was warm, sweet, and bread pudding texture.. That was also yummy. Over all it was good experience and food was yummy.. I would definitely come back here again.

What a culinary experience! Occi is quite a small restaurant (advanced booking a must) with a…read moresleek modern style that somehow seamlessly incorporates the giant stone walls and pillars of the old Girona building in which it is situated. This unique combo is a bit confusing at first but seems to make perfect sense by the end of the meal (no, there was no wine involved here). The menu consists of dishes that reflect the "modern yet classic" look and feel of the place. Offerings are imaginative and pretty much universally appealing. The thing I liked most about the menu was that it was not simply "twists on a local classic" but instead the chefs used all of the classic local ingredients (and some lesser-seen local produce like rabbit, pigeon and a whole host of local wild mushroom varieties) to create dishes and a style of cuisine that was truly their own. Luckily, we were 5 people so we were able to choose five different starters to share. In order to enjoy each dish and not jumble up all the flavours, our waiter suggested bringing each dish in turn to make a sort of tasting menu. It was a good call as every dish was packed full of its own unique flavour and character that was made somehow all the more enjoyable by tasting it in isolation from the others. Favourites included the taggliatelle with local egg, shrimp and mixed mushrooms, the "arroz de pals" (their delicious take on a risotto) and the rabbit terrine. A word to the wise: the starter portions are LARGE so if you're not hungry or are looking for a lighter meal, you could order less than one per person or even get a few different starters to share between you as a whole meal. Main courses consisted of fish and meat dishes that were just as creative and tasty as the starters. Meat and fish alike were cooked to perfection with accompaniments that complemented and enhanced their wonderful natural flavours. Desserts were light, well presented and as unique and imaginative as previous courses. In conclusion, I would say that Occi offers some incredibly imaginative, tasty and well-executed food made from some of the finest local ingredients and backed up by extremely friendly and helpful service. Dinner was extremely good value for the amount and quality of the food received, coming in at around €40/head for three courses (more with wine, as only one of us had a glass). A definite must-try for anyone, but especially those looking for something a bit different in Girona and the surrounding area. Oh, and if anyone in your party speaks Castellano or Catalan, definitely get a menu in one of those languages as some ingredients and descriptions are lost in translation on the English language menus.

Wow did we have an amazing burger here. We decided to try two different burgers on the menu. One…read morewith Wagyu and the other with local beef. Surprisingly the local beef won hands down in my book. We started off with Tomato Bread and Jamon Iberico. Just keep ordering both these things where ever you go in Spain and you will be happy. I couldn't get enough of either, and for sure you can't get tomato bread in the states. Crusty bread with olive oil bringing it back to life and tomato and garlic rubbed all over it, The Wagyu burger had a nice slab of melted Brie, caramelized onions, and fig balsamic. A tried and true flavor profile. The beef was sure juicy, and we would have been happy with this burger if we hadn't tried the local beef The Local Girona Beef Burger topped with havarti, lettuce, tomato, and egg cream (basically a rich mayonnaise). This was a dry aged burger, although not advertised as such. And very dry aged. Spain uses mature cows that can be as old as 14 years old. As such they have a much more robust flavor than American beef which is usually only 1-2 years old. The tomato reminded me, how delicious a tomato can and should be. Don't miss this burger here. BBQ Pork Flat Bread with pickled onions oregano , and melted provolone. Pretty tasty, but perhaps the least memorable of everything we ate. We did enjoy it though. Just goes to show how good everything else was. Brots de Vi is a cute spot to grab lunch, and they made us feel right at home fixing up a table where normally they wouldn't have had one, so we didn't wait too long. And for sure the servers had to walk around where we were seated, kind of half blocking the doorway. But they insisted that if we didn't mind, they didn't mind. Very friendly service and excellent food here.

The thought of coming from the US and getting a burger here seemed so silly to me, but when we walked in, the sight and smell was too convincing. The fresh Girona beef was loosely ground and flavorful, so, no regrets! There was a little bit of an issue with flies trapped inside, we probably should have sat outside. Wine prices were good!

Then chicken croquets and 2 incredible stuffed píquillo peppers in a wonderful sauce. The main dish was a very well done fresh dorado and then desert. Also included wine or water. All this for 28 .
