“In Figueres the dinner table awaited us laid and set out (...) The table overflowed with food, meet dishes of all sorts, boiled fish and fried fish (...) Incomparable fruits, flaming wine...”.
Figueres cuisine combines the most authentic alt Empordà gastronomic tradition (from platillos of grandma's meat to the Costa Brava fish dishes), with a subtle and daring culinary conception of its own that has brought the city an example of top-class contemporary restauranteering, lauded by the region's most prestigious authors. This is a cuisine closely tied in with the quality of the raw materials that come from kitchen gardens, unirrigated cultivation, the sea and the mountains, and the use of products combined with traditional good sense or with a contradictory and lavish imagination, inherent to the county and the people who have and do experience it intensely.
The list of restaurants we present can offer you the most exquisite dishes made in a refined setting, traditional cooking handed down by grandmothers in a setting which reminds us of the fair and market days of years back, that creative cooking which each day invents new and surprising dishes, quality daily food at reasonable and competitive prices along with fast food for those with little time to sit down to eat but want instead to devote their time to visiting the city.
