Café le Bistrot

We had a wonderful lunch experience ! The restaurant came highly recommended and they did not disappoint. They are fixed price menu had many delicious choices. I wish we could have even tried more. The cod brandade was absolutely outstanding as were the braised pork cheeks. The dessert options were also very satisfying including their cheesecake and Cafe flan . We had cafe solo to wash it all down. Not only was this a delicious meal to service was wonderful. The decor was charming and it was very attractively priced. We felt it was a great value and really look forward to coming back to Girona to visit and dining here at Café le Bistrot again!

We had the menu of the day, me the pork cheek cooked in beer (tastier) and my partner the pork leg with tomato and plums (a bit dry given that the sauce was one the side). I also got a starter, escalivada (a bit sad it only had one anchovy altough the menu said with anchovies plural). Wine of the house and water, as well as a dessert (we got the coconut flan) were included. Nice ambience and overall good experience, although some dishes could be improved.

The location is really superb! It is like in a movie! Big plus that it is open till 00:00. But the food was not tasty at all. I ordered fish with peas purée and sweet pancakes with strawberry. Fish was very greasy and almost no spices, and puree was tasting like raw flour…when I asked to add some salad with vegetables without onion (but any kind of vegetables including cucumbers etc) I got a strange plate of peas and carrot with no spices. Pancakes were tasteless too, only strawberries were fine lol. The waitress with black hair (Bushere / Bu) was the only one serving me (she seems to be the only one working here normally) other waiters (around 3 of them) were ignoring me even when I looked at them. I was waiting for any waiter to come for 20 min to take my order… and before I was not given any menu, u had to ask for it. Moreover, another waitress (black woman) was super unpleasant, the way how she brought me glass of water and took my dishes was very disrespectful. Her behavior was not profesional. Additionally, normally you shouldn’t wait in the restaurant too long for waiter to come and ask if you need anything else / or you want to pay. Here I waited forever, no one really came back to me to check. Restaurant doesn’t have English menu. The smell inside the restaurant is not good - a strong smell of detergent like bleach (on tables). I hope this place will reconsider the staff and will make it a good spot for visitors not only because of the location. I expected tasty food how it should be and standard service but instead I got neither of this. Sad.

The terrace and location could not be beaten. The servers were lovely also, translating the Catalan menu, and taking the food back. But the food was underwhelming. I ordered the steak with duck liver pate, medium rare. But it came fully cooked through. I sent it back, and this time there was a little pink on the inside - still not right. The pate was delicate and couldn’t be tasted on the steak. I would avoid this dish.

Lovely eatery. Excellent food with friendly service. Everything about this place was great. Interesting dishes cooked perfectly. Lovely portion size - enough to be full but with enough room for pudding! And a digestive From the restaurant. Access is via the steps up to the door - don’t mistake it for next door (I have no idea what that is like!) Enjoy!

We had lunch at this place and were pleasantly surprised! The atmosphere is very cozy, and although the outside terrace, which is usually picturesque, wasn't available at that time, we were comfortably seated inside. Opting for the daily menu turned out to be an excellent choice. The dishes were exceptional: the pumpkin soup was velvety and delicious, and the grilled meat was simply amazing. For dessert, I ordered cheese with honey, and to my delight, it tasted exactly like the Russian "творог с медом." Overall, it was a great experience!

The scenery is amazing, service was very good, and the food is such an experience. I would highly recommend to try the “pates” that they have, it was the best I’ve had in Spain

At 22 Euros the 3 course lunch ( plus a glass of wine) is hard to beat... Especially given the number of dishes you can chose from with each course... We were able to get a table at 2:30 and even then the place was still packed with locals who know a good thing. My wife's excellent grilled steak ( 3 Euros extra ) took top prize. She also liked the onion" souffle" . My baked cod was pretty good but the cheese cake was delicious. We paid another supplement of 5 Euros for a whole bottle of the house wine. This is an excellent opportunity to try homestyle Catalan cooking. Reservations highly recommended... 3 generous courses and a bottle of wine for 2 of came to Euro 50. That's pretty good in this day and age , especially for a good meal.
