Massana Restaurant

Simply superb find in the heart of Girona. It’s a high end restaurant with classics roots and a playful and well-honed modern technique throughout. We went for a recent lunch last minute and were thoroughly impressed by every single delicious dish and the staffs superb attention to detail. It was wild mushroom season so they had several specials highlighting the bounty of the area. All were great, but the baby squid was as good as it can possibly be! Wonderful and dense wine list focused on local producers at very reasonable prices . Overall a bit expensive but worth it for a top of the line meal on a very relaxed and professional setting.

A true culinary treat. Well deserved Michelin rating. From start to finish, every bite was an delightful experience. The staff is friendly and attentive but not overbearing. The courses are well portioned and the explosion of flavors continues to excite the pallet with each well crafted plate. The restaurant is well decorated with excellent art that gives a relaxing but sophisticated feel. A meal not soon forgotten.

A wonderful culinary experience. Each dish was meticulously prepared, and ingredients were of the finest quality. While each dish stood on their own, the whole tasting menu fit together in great harmony. This restaurant is well-deserved of all its accolades.

It’s an unforgettable meal at Massana. 15 beautiful, decadent and refined dishes. Nothing too fuzzy just great local ingredients that a lot of care has been put into. This is old school fine dining in a beautiful setting. The staff is very attentive and the sommelier recommended beautiful wines. Well deserved Michelin star.

Wonderful experience of the tasting menu- visiting solo and was very well looked after, particularly by Edward who gave fantastic education on the (mainly Spanish) wines to accompany the food. Family-run affair and feels all the more special for it. Highly recommended. Chocolate dessert probably the best I have ever eaten and that’s coming from a chocoholic!

One word: wow. Our Michelin guide friends are doing the general public a disservice by rating this establishment as a one-star. It is at the very least, a two-star, based on the delicious food alone. And Mr. Massana was a very gracious host. Will come back!!

What a great discovery in Girona. Recommended by friends and did not disappoint at all. Great combinations of flavors (meatballs with squid for example), marinated mussels gave a new expression of the seafood. Combined with great service, passionated sommelier and good wines made it superbe evening!

Celebrated my wife's birthday with an incredible food experience. The fabulous menu of meat and fish was beyond exceptional. Even the desserts were fantastic. The chef welcomed us and he made a birthday treat for my wife.

An amazing experience. The cost was not bad for the quality of meal. The service was friendly and attentive and choreographed so well. The food was incredible and creative. Some of my favorite foods were in this meal. I highly suggest the tasting menu with wine pairings. One of my favorite experiences in Girona.

We are in Girona for El Celler de can Roca. Staying two nights so we have one free night with nothing planned. We asked our hotel for recommendations, unfortunately a lot of places were closed due to prior week's flower festival. Luckily our awesome hotel concierge was able to book a last minute reservation for us at Massana. We had no expectations walking in, except knowing the fact that it has one Michelin. It BLEW our mind. Every single dish was perfectly executed, with the perfect balance of flavors and texture. My favorites were eel, duck, and lamb. Eel was perfectly cooked and on top of a layer of pork belly - it literally melted in your mouth. So was the duck breast - thinly sliced, complimented by some pickled shallots, it was simply perfection. And just when I thought the night couldn't get any better, the waiter brought out lamb shoulders. It's the part of animal that works hard, so full of flavors but usually not easiest to cook. Here, it was once again cooked to perfection - unbelievably tender and exploded in your mouth with flavors. The meal ended with two amazing desserts, one tart and one sweet. Perfect ending to an amazing dinner. Service was also impeccable, with great local wine recommendations to compliment our meal throughout. Coming from New York, I think Massana could easily compare to any three Michelin star restaurants we've been to in the city, if not better. And with only one third of the price. So if you are in girona and couldn't get into the roca brothers restaurant, come here, you can thank me later.

Soooooo amazing. And honestly the most reasonably priced high end restaurant I have ever been to. The food was delicious and inventive. I did the alcohol pairing which would cost 5 times as much in the US. For dessert, get the egg dessert. Don't ask questions- it will ruin it - but trust me, this is what you want.

An amazing fine dining experience!! The food was perfectly prepared, impeccably served, artistically presented. We shared a starter of vegetables (superb), my husband had red tuna (smooth like butter) and I loved the turbot with potato slices. For dessert, Babybel and fruit for him and chocolate with orange custard and ice cream (the chocolate was on the inside) ...divine. Staff were very sweet to speak English with us. The sommelier was knowledgeable and attentive and the chef present to greet guests. In fact, he ran out to say goodbye to us and thank us for coming when we were out the door. An expensive lunch and well worth every penny!!!

I highly recommend eating at Massana. The food at Massana is fantastic - impeccably prepared , delightful food that puts a smile on your face. The foie gras amuse-bouche was amazingly rich and creamy, and certainly the best foie gras I've ever eaten. The food at Massana easily deserves its Michelin star but the service doesn't quite match up to the high standard of the food. The service is pretty good - friendly, but still formal, but somehow a bit awkward (language barriers could explain this). I'll keep my rating at 5 stars as the food was amazing, and I don't go to restaurants for the service :) Hits - foie gras amuse-bouche - best foie I've ever had - oxtail with foie gras - rich, flavourful and decadent - cannelloni - great depth of flavour, savoury and rich - "coconut icecream" - My wife's favourite dessert ever! Avocado banana mousse was unbelievably good Misses - No misses
