Girona Michelin Restaurants: Where to Eat and How to Book

How Michelin Dining in Girona Province Breaks Down

The province's 20 stars are split across one three-star restaurant, three two-star restaurants and eleven one-star restaurants. The starred rooms cluster in Gironès around Girona city, La Garrotxa around Olot, the Alt Empordà towards the French border and La Selva inland.

That spread matters when you book accommodation. A stay in Girona city puts Divinum, Massana and El Celler de Can Roca within reach on foot or by short taxi, but Les Cols in Olot and Ca l'Enric in La Vall de Bianya are a completely different outing. Choose the comarca first, then the restaurant.

El Celler de Can Roca: Three Stars in Girona City

El Celler de Can Roca holds three MICHELIN stars in the 2026 MICHELIN Guide España and is listed in the guide's top price band, so budget accordingly. It is run by the Roca brothers, Joan, Jordi and Josep, and sits in Girona itself rather than out in the countryside.

The restaurant has appeared at or near the top of the World's 50 Best list over the past decade, including first place in 2013 and 2015. Treat that as context rather than a reason to expect an easy table: this is the hardest booking in the province and the one to secure before you fix flights.

Because it is in the city, you can build the rest of the day around the old town, the cathedral steps and the river. If you want a tapas crawl on another evening instead, keep it separate from a booking of this size.

Two-Star Tables: Les Cols, Miramar and Bo·TiC

Les Cols in Olot, in La Garrotxa, is a two-star restaurant run by Fina Puigdevall and Martina Puigvert. Olot puts you in volcanic country, so a lunch here pairs naturally with a morning walk in the surrounding hills rather than a rushed return to the coast.

Miramar in Llançà, on the Alt Empordà coast, is Paco Pérez's two-star room, and Bo·TiC in Corçà, inland in the Baix Empordà, is Albert Sastregener's. Both sit well away from Girona city, so pick one and give it the whole day rather than trying to combine them with a city itinerary.

One-Star Picks Inside Girona City

Divinum, run by Arnau Casadevall and Isidre Soler, and Massana, with Pere Massana in the kitchen, give Girona two one-star options in town. Both appear on the MICHELIN Guide's Girona listings, which is the page to check if you want current recognition before booking.

With two city options at this level, you can split a weekend between one starred dinner and a much simpler evening of Girona food in the Barri Vell. That balance suits a short break better than two long tasting menus back to back.

One-Star Rooms in the Countryside

Els Tinars in Llagostera, in the Gironès, is Marc Gascons's one-star restaurant; Ca l'Enric in La Vall de Bianya, La Garrotxa, is run by Jordi and Isabel Juncà. Both reward a car and an overnight stay nearby, because the drive back after a long lunch is the part most visitors underestimate.

Fonda Xesc in Gombrèn, up in the Ripollès, and L'Aliança 1919 in Anglès, in La Selva, are the most rural of the group. Francesc Rovira cooks at Fonda Xesc and Àlex Carrera at L'Aliança 1919. These are mountain and inland-valley addresses, so treat the meal as the anchor of a full day out rather than an evening add-on.

Les Magnolies in Arbúcies, in La Selva, is another one-star room under Victor Torres, useful if you are driving between the coast and the inland hills. Build in slack for the winding roads rather than cutting it fine for a lunch slot.

Coastal and Empordà Options

Empòrium in Castelló d'Empúries, cooked by Màrius and Joan Jordà, and Castell Peralada in Peralada with Javi Martínez, both hold one star in the Alt Empordà. Voramar in Portbou, run by Guillem Gavilan and Pau Jamas, sits right up by the French border, which makes it a sensible stop on a cross-border drive rather than a detour from Girona.

Eperit Roca in Sant Julià de Ramis, near Girona and linked to the Roca brothers with Raúl Sillero as chef, is the easiest of the one-star rooms to reach from the city. If you want a single starred meal without changing hotels, this is the practical choice.

Building a Day Around One Booking

Match the restaurant to the comarca and the day fills itself. A lunch at Les Cols or Ca l'Enric leaves the morning free for Olot and the volcanic park; a meal at Miramar or Voramar sits naturally beside a coastal walk in the Alt Empordà. If you would rather stay in the city, the six district guides to Girona Attractions cover what is walkable from a central hotel.

A guided walk is a good counterweight to a long tasting menu on the same trip, keeping one day active and casual before the big meal. Book any tour for a morning so it does not collide with a 13:30 lunch.

Meal Times, Booking and Getting There

Spanish lunch service runs roughly 13:30 to 16:00 and dinner starts from about 20:30 to 21:00, so a 20:30 table in the Empordà means leaving Girona in the early evening or staying locally. Reserve well ahead for the three- and two-star rooms, and ask about cancellation terms when you book, since tasting menus usually require a deposit.

Individual restaurants set their own opening days and annual closures, so confirm the date directly with the restaurant before you arrange travel. Check the MICHELIN Guide's Girona pages for current star counts and contact details, since recognition changes between guide editions.

For a car-free trip, keep to the city tables and take taxis; for the rural rooms, hire a car or book a driver for the day. Compare that with the Michelin-Recognised Restaurants in Málaga if you are weighing a second Andalucian leg against more time in Catalonia.

Plan Your Visit

Girona province's 15 starred restaurants reward planning rather than improvisation: pick one headline meal, choose the comarca to match, and keep the rest of the trip simple. City tables suit a short break, while the Olot, Empordà and Ripollès rooms each justify their own overnight stay.

Confirm your date with the restaurant before booking travel, then build the day around Spanish meal times rather than against them.
