The terrace of Casa Cacao, the Roca brothers’ new venture
Located in the city of Girona, the Casa Cacao terrace is a gastronomic gem created by the renowned Roca brothers, famous for their innovative cuisine at El Celler de Can Roca. This space, located on the top floor of the boutique hotel Casa Cacao, offers a unique experience with panoramic views of the Onyar River and the city’s Barri Vell quarter.
The restaurant is known for its exquisite brunch, which combines a selection of local produce and artisanal delicacies. Its brunch menu is a mix of seasonal foods, from pâtés, Iberian cured meats, creams and other typical Catalan dishes that will delight your palate.
The experience is complemented by a careful selection of chocolates and cocoa, a speciality of the house, which offers a sensory trip through unique and exquisite flavours.
In addition, the terrace of this luxurious hotel also offers dinners and cocktails, with an extensive drinks menu from Esperit Roca, a family project consisting of an artisan distillery, with liqueurs, gins and spirits made in-house.
In short, Casa Cacao’s terrace is a must-visit for those looking for a high-end gastronomic experience in Girona.
Tokio Teppanyaki in Girona, a spectacle for the senses
Another ideal option if you visit Girona is the Tokio Teppanyaki restaurant, which offers a unique and exciting gastronomic experience that combines Japanese tradition with live culinary art. Specialising in Teppanyaki, a type of Japanese dish that uses a steel griddle, known as a ‘teppan’, to cook food, this establishment allows diners to enjoy the skill of the chefs as they prepare dishes using this technique, directly in front of them, creating a culinary spectacle that engages all the senses.
The menu includes a wide variety of options, but the sushi stands out for its freshness and impeccable presentation. Diners can choose from a selection of sashimi, nigiri and maki, made with high quality ingredients and traditional techniques.

Castell d’en Plaja, in Lloret de Mar: cocktails in an idyllic setting
Castell d’en Plaja, also known as Lloret Castle, is an icon of Lloret de Mar. It offers stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea while you sip a good vermouth on its terrace. It is worth noting that the building is not of medieval origin but is in fact a summer house built in 1935.
One of the aspects that add value to this experience is the immersive proposal inside the castle, where you can immerse yourself in the issue of climate change and global warming. In addition, the little ones can have fun with the interactive digital games in the rooms.
Sa Lola, with its most creative “tapas”
Sa Lola, located on the seafront promenade of Blanes, is a benchmark for contemporary gastronomy on Costa Brava. This establishment combines Catalan culinary tradition with innovation, offering the best “tapas”, with views of the sea.
Sa Lola’s menu stands out for its creativity when it comes to preparing its “tapas”, which are very different from the typical dishes of Spanish gastronomy. Highlights include its crab burger; steak tartar on a potato cornet; foie “donettes”; octopus tripe; spherified olives; tandoori suckling lamb shank; and many more. But one of their star dishes that you must try is their fried egg with potato and bacon, which is a far cry from what we are used to seeing. It is an experience for the senses that will make all the flavours explode on your palate.
Sa Lola’s atmosphere is welcoming and modern, with an interior design that mixes rustic and contemporary elements. This is why this warm and elegant atmosphere is ideal for a relaxed meal with friends, an intimate dinner or a special celebration.
El Golfo Food & Drinks, for the whole family
Finally, we bring you a proposal for the whole family, especially if you are travelling with the youngest members of the family. This is El Golfo Food & Drinks, a magnificent proposal in the coastal town of Platja d’Aro, which is a paradise for young and old alike.
Whatever time you go, you can enjoy its exquisite menu, with healthy lunches, and a wide range of options for lunch and dinner, from hamburgers, pizzas, grilled meats, delicious desserts and much more. But what really catches our attention is the mini golf course, with different courses with curves, ups and downs that will make you become the best golfer on Costa Brava.
We hope you have found these gastronomic proposals interesting.
