It turns out to be one of the best and most creative reaturants I have tried in Spain-- with a reasonable price. I enjoy the idea of taking Japanese, Thai and Chinese cooking elements into seafood making. The staff are nice and helpful. Windful dinner. Suggestion: try Gourmet menu (59 euros for the whole meal)!

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.

Hungry after visiting the Dali Museum, we searched for a place to eat.

Aside from warm and friendly service, each dish was presented with a thoughtful, artistic touch. The restaurant itself was petite but the clean lines and laid back vibe evoked a design aesthetic that permeated through decor and dishes. Everything was perfectly cooked. The tenderness of the pork and freshness of the vegetables, fish and seafood spoke volumes of the cooking technique as well as emphasis on local and seasonal ingredients. If I had one knock it would be the paella was slightly too salty, but aside from that, bravo! We didn't have time to try desserts but if we ever come back to Figueres would love to visit this place again.

The chief likes to create and when You come, You definitely have something new and You gonna like it. They change the menu every week o so, so You don't get bored and every dinner is different from the other. But as I told the chief knows how to cook and he does it perfect. Deserve a Michelin star. The Priceline is highly affordable and the price/quality is perfect. Frankly speaking I would rise the prices.

My favourite type of…read morerestaurant is one that gets you to love things that you typically hate-- and this place did that wonderfully! If you're looking for an eclectic, experimental, molecular gastronomy type meal, this is the place for you. The coordinates restaurant has a very interesting interior, and an even more interesting menu. The surrealist menu is particularly excellent-- they give you a variety of little snacks, as well as non liquid soup and canneloni without pasta. The price of 38 euros (for a six course meal with wine and cava) is really quite excellent. They were also very flexible regarding allergies! My husband couldn't have their rockfish due to allergies and they were happy to substitute it for the kangaroo at no extra charge. Bilingual, attentive staff, and an open kitchen that allows you to watch the chefs work (assuming you have the right table for it!). I recommend making a reservation unless you plan on arriving early. 5 stars because the price and service was perfect; I'm surprised this place isn't on the bib gourmand list!

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.

Outdoor seating has three tables for two and two tables for four. They seem short-staffed as there were only two staff for the whole restaurant. Not sure if this is typical for the restaurants in the area. It took a long time to get our water and wine - we received them after receiving our appetizer but only after we reminded the staff. We first tried the Baratta salad and oxtail croquettes. Both were very good. The Baratta salad was advertised as coming with walnut pesto, but it looked like they were actually peanuts. It also had dried raisins- the flavor is not like the typical U.S. kinds. The raisins don't have the distinct grape flavor and are more of a mild sweetness. For our main dishes we got the Girona beef steak and the crunchy Kentucky style pork. The Kentucky style pork was better than the Girona beef steak but I still enjoyed the steak. The pork was deep fried perfectly crispy that it was indeed crunchy. It was topped with melted mozzarella cheese and oregano seasoned sliced tomatoes. It came with a mashed potatoes with a ham tasting broth. You get to choose the weight of the steak with a minimum of 200 grams, which was more than enough for me. The steak came with three small sides, including mashed potatoes with a ham tasting broth, what tasted like herb infused mayonnaise, and some kind of hummus. I didn't care for any of the sides. We also enjoyed their Monsant traditional red wine 2020. This was a great restaurant to try for dinner, especially since it was just around the corner from our hotel.

We came here on a recommendation from our tour guide and it was around the corner from our hotel…read more We arrived 5 minutes after their opening at 8pm without a reservation on a Friday. There were plenty of open tables at that time, but they started to get filled up about 9:45 p.m. Yes, we were in the restaurant for about 2 hours-we didn't end up leaving until a little closer to 10pm. That's how slow the service was, but, maybe that's typical for this area and they seemed short staffed, only two staff for the whole restaurant. The interior looked clean. They had some decently nice overhead driftwood lights with Edison lights hanging from a rope. There was also a chandelier with tons of Rocco bar like water glasses hanging all over it that looked a bit tacky. The female staff member, who I'm not sure if she was a owner was hesitant to let us sit down but in the end let us. She wasn't friendly and basically ignored us. At least the second staff member who was working was nicer. We had to ask them to come over so we could start ordering basic drinks and food. Started off with a homemade ham and cheese croquettes and patatas bravas. The exterior of the croquettes was crispy, but the inside was super mushy, like pureed baby food. On a positive note, the flavor was good. The patatas bravas was unremarkable. The red sauce with squirts of mayo was underwhelming. It had a hint of smokiness, otherwise, it was just bland. We tried one entree, the Galician beef tenderloin with Padron peppers, and crispy potato wedges. It was impressive when it came out, sizzling hot on a stone platter. The impressiveness stops there-the beef flavor did not match. It was underwhelming. My partner enjoyed it more than I did. It also was seared on the outside of the still rare on the inside. So if you like yours more well done, you'll have to see if they can accommodate that. The Padron peppers were good, not spicy. Anyway, I wouldn't get this dish again. They also automatically brought bread with a pureed pear juices but we sent it back uneaten. Nonetheless, they still charged us on the bill for it. After we told the waiter, he took it off the bill. There were no wine glasses available, only bottles. We were pleasantly surprised to see that the wine bottles were so inexpensive, it was like paying for a glass in the U.S. or other big cities. The food prices were reasonable as well. Free WiFi. In summary, I wouldn't recommend this restaurant, unless you're looking for mediocre food and inexpensive wine. Also, pay attention to your bill!
