La Quinta Justa

The Catalan Pyrenees


The elegant promise of the cream exterior and artful iron lamps is suitably fulfilled by this stylish, central restaurant. Volcanic and modern-European cuisine is served with a flourish, including solid mountain fare like grilled botifarra (Catalan sausage), pasta gratin and a few Asian-influenced dishes such as tuna tataki with soy and hummus, alongside local Empordà wines.
