"Can Xapes is much more than a restaurant thanks to its history (it started out as a cinema in 1949). It is also part of the non-profit “AD'Iniciatives Socials” organisation, which provides work opportunities for youngsters with limited financial resources and access to training. Nowadays operating as a restaurant school, it highlights its links with the past via the original Art Deco-style bar counter from the former Rosa cinema. It also features attractive dining rooms where guests can savour Catalan cuisine with a contemporary feel on three menus (Migdia “La Barra”, Degustació and De Cine) based, where possible, on locally sourced ingredients." - Michelin Inspector
Can Xapas is in a converted 1930s cinema on what passes for the High Street in the small town of Cornella del Terri. Easy to find.
The staff were friendly, helpful and efficient. No problem for Catalan or English speakers.
The food was beautiful to the eye and impeccably fresh. Delicious and inventive combinations.
We went for the €60 menu and it was more than enough. The €40 was essentially the same but needed hard choices.
The tomato and fig salad was spectacular. The baccala was perfectly cooked. All other courses exceeded expectations.
Great wine list with lots of local options.

Excellent meal out, the restaurant is in an old art deco cinema which has a great atmosphere. The sharing dishes were all great and the lamb and paella also very good. They also have a good wine list and were very happy to recommend reasonably priced bottles.

We tried the 'Menú Degustació' and it was excellent, from start to finish. It is great that they use local products and that they combine a varied use of flavours that work great together. Very reasonably priced for the quality and the service you get. I would totally recommend to anyone who wants to enjoy a unique food experience to visit can Xapes!

Incredible. Very nice food and place. Quick serving of the food and an excellent presentation of the dishes.
Tables adecuately separated. You can hear your table and not the others.
We got the "Cinema" menu and the dishes were very nice.

Elaborated food. Kind service. Worth value. Right price for working days menu. They shouldn't charge you for the second cup of wine.
