Casa Marieta Restaurant

A pretty restaurant serves local dishes in a beautiful square. We were early in this area for lunch and enjoyed their best seats in terrace. Their food is well presented and full of local flavor at a reasonable price. Service is good. Beer is nice. The indoor decoration is in a traditional vibe. The entire dining experience here is very good. I must recommend this and visit again when in this lovely city Girona.

Stepping into Casa Marieta in Girona is like embarking on a memorable tour of Catalan cuisine. The restaurant’s warm and inviting atmosphere sets the stage for a delightful meal, where every dish is a testament to traditional flavors with a modern twist. Begin your experience with the calamari, perfectly prepared to deliver a crisp exterior and tender inside—a great prelude to the feast ahead. The paella is a standout, boasting a rich medley of fresh seafood and saffron-infused rice that beautifully captures the essence of Mediterranean cooking. For meat lovers, the Iberian ham offers an exquisite, melt-in-your-mouth experience that truly celebrates the art of Spanish charcuterie. Casa Marieta also impresses with innovative dishes such as pollo con cigalas, where the fusion of chicken and langoustines creates a unique and satisfying combination of textures and flavors. Seasonal specialties like white asparagus add a refreshing note to the menu, while a well-cooked steak provides a hearty and robust finish to the meal. Tip: Make sure to reserve a table ahead of time to enjoy a relaxed dining experience, especially during peak evenings, and don’t hesitate to ask for the chef’s recommendations—they often reveal delightful surprises.

Excellent food, outstanding service, and a fair price! We had dinner at Casa Marieta today and were absolutely delighted. The food was authentically Catalan and beautifully prepared: We enjoyed “Rosssejat de Fideus ‘Fideuada’ Mixta” (noodle paella), “Calamars a la Planxa” (grilled squid), “Cargols CASA MARIETA” (house-style snails), and fresh “Pa” (bread). To drink, we each had a “Copa Vi Blanc 150 ml” (glass of white wine) and shared a bottle of water. Everything was delicious and clearly made with care. A special thank you goes to our waitress Pauline, who guided us through the evening with excellent recommendations. Her service was attentive, friendly, and highly professional – we felt truly well taken care of. The restaurant itself has a lovely, cozy atmosphere full of charm. And the bill at the end was a pleasant surprise: the value for money is unbeatable! We highly recommend Casa Marieta – and once again, a heartfelt thank you to Pauline for making our evening so special!

The lamb chops were incredibly tender with no gamey taste, and the honey Iberian pork was delightfully chewy. However, the service was quite slow because the restaurant accommodated a large tour group at lunchtime.

Perfect food! Great service and best experience. Great thanks to Pauline, such a friendly face. We loved it here and would recomand. PS: You must try the duck.

this restaurant is so charming and really takes you back in time. The food was my first authentic experience of Spanish cuisine and it was lovely.

I had the absolute pleasure of dining at Casa Marieta and I can honestly say it was one of the most memorable meals I’ve had in Spain. This restaurant has proudly kept the tradition of serving authentic Catalan cuisine for over 100 years, and it shows in every detail — from the warm atmosphere to the deeply flavorful dishes. A very special shoutout goes to Pauline, our gracious and thoughtful hostess for the night. Pauline went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect with our meal. Her attentiveness really made the experience feel personal. We ordered the baked snails in tomatoes, the fideuà (Catalan noodle paella), and the squid, paired with white wine, bottle of water and bread. Each dish was rich in flavor, beautifully cooked, and truly showcased the essence of Catalan cooking. What really touched me was how Pauline noticed how much we were enjoying the snails and offered to complement them with some extra bread — such a thoughtful gesture! And the bread was delicious, perfectly soaking up every last bit of the savory flavors. The interior of Casa Marietta is just as impressive. It stays true to its roots with a warm, rustic charm that captures the spirit of the region — an authentic Spanish vibe through and through. As someone from the Philippines, I have a deep appreciation for Spanish flavors, and I could genuinely taste the influence that has also shaped our cuisine back home. Every bite felt familiar yet uniquely Catalan. It was a truly special connection. And the best part? The price was incredibly reasonable. For everything we ordered (there were two of us), we paid together just a little over 50 euros — a fantastic value for such an unforgettable meal. Make sure to leave a generous tip when you go — it’s well-deserved. Casa Marieta is a gem. And thanks to Pauline, our visit wasn’t just dinner — it was an experience I won’t forget.

Amazing local foods! Family of 3 with as many drinks and foods we could possibly have for 83 euro. One of the nicest meals ever!

Claudia was the best waitress. Food is excellent. Highly recommend it. We ate a lot for $84. Can't beat that. One of the oldest restaurants in Girona. The town is a short train trip from Barcelona. It is easy to explore and then you can have a hearty meal at Marieta's.

We found Casa Marieta recommended here on Yelp and on TripAdvisor. Great find!!! Lots of air conditioned seating inside, efficient service although they don't speak much English. They have a QR code for their menu online in multiple languages which makes it easier to figure out what to order. Prices are super affordable and the food was delicious and plentiful. Our whole group was super happy with this find which was very close to the Cathedral. It's also on a very lively square with other restaurants, cafes and bars.

Very nice location in one of Girona's main plazas with tasty local food at decent prices. Locals go there and love it as it doesn't have the tourist influence of other local restaurants. Check in is a bit chaotic and you need to wait even if you have reservations, but then they call each group in order of reservations made. As of food all we got was very tasty and good value: crema de melón, calamares a la andaluza, croquetas de pollo, croquetas de merluza (a bit less flavor than expected), paella (good size), and botifarra. To close the miel y mato and the home made tarts were good.

Great food! I really liked it here and would recommend to anybody in the area. Highly recommend

Came here because the seafood paella looks very good and very reasonable in price. Yes it's very good and worth to get, but it's pretty lame that they just let you have a glimpse of it on the iron pot and have to immediately plate it on the side to ceramic plate because they need to use for other paella order. C'mon just buy more iron pot! We come here and want to experience eating paella outta the pot! Brulee custard dessert was really good in texture and not overly sweet. House cava was also really good.

The food was delicious! And the service was great. They were so friendly and accommodating. The food came out quick too which was very important because we had a train to catch (:

Excellent tapas we had the squid, paella and chicken croquettes- all were good and nicely priced - we would repeat!

Located on the Plaza Independencia with other restaurants we chose Casa Marieta for its historic atmosphere and traditional menu. It's a large restaurant which the locals seem to frequent. We were the only tourists dining there at lunch. There is a daily menu as is typical for Spain as well as the carta items. We opted for lamb and pork dishes which were both quite good. Service was a bit slow at times as there was limited staff.

This is a classic both of Girona and traditional Catalan cuisine. Situated right in the heart of the city, at Casa Marieta you'll feel as though you're eating the cooking of the best grandmothers in Girona! You'll (re)discover the flavours of the most traditional home-made stews, such as one with chicken and langoustines, or the one with duck and pears, as well as dishes such as snails and classic Catalan cannelloni ('canellons'). Fish is also a key ingredient, both simply cooked and in age-old recipes, such as fisherman-style fish stew, cuttlefish with peas, and roasted cod with smooth garlic mousseline. The dishes are all adapted to what's in season, so take note of the changing dishes of the day - there's always a surprise or two that you won't regret trying. Casa Marieta is also an excellent suggestion if you're looking for somewhere to dine in a group, and they'll organise a set menu to fit in with your collective budget.
