És! Carxofa

És! Carxofa is a private restaurant space at Plaça Major in Púbol, a village in the Costa Brava area of Girona. Its offer is organised around several menu formats rather than a long description of individual dishes, giving the restaurant a clear, structured approach to midday dining.

The menu selection includes a dedicated rice menu, a tasting menu and an autumn menu. The rice menu makes rice the central focus of the meal, while the tasting menu offers a set format for exploring the restaurant’s cooking. The autumn menu adds a seasonal option to the selection. Together, these formats give diners different ways to approach the restaurant, whether the occasion calls for a rice-led meal, a broader tasting experience or a menu linked to the season.

És! Carxofa also lists a separate dessert menu, along with a selection of wines and beers. The drinks list provides a natural accompaniment to the food, while the dessert selection completes the meal within the same menu-led format. Specific dishes and drinks may vary, so the restaurant’s current menus are the best reference for the available choice.

The setting is a restaurant space on Púbol’s Plaça Major, making the address part of the experience without suggesting a particular style of decoration or view. The venue’s private-restaurant format and emphasis on set menus create a focused setting for a planned meal. It is suited to diners who appreciate a defined culinary format and want to choose between rice, tasting and seasonal menus rather than an informal, open-ended meal.

Service is centred on midday dining, with the kitchen operating within a defined lunchtime window. Reservations are available, and the restaurant asks for punctual arrival so that the kitchen can maintain its service rhythm and provide the intended level of attention. The rice and autumn menus follow their own calendar, with weekday availability subject to exclusions for public holidays, Easter week and the summer months. For that reason, the menu format and date are both useful considerations when planning a visit.

És! Carxofa offers a distinctive menu structure in Púbol, combining rice-focused dining with tasting and seasonal options, desserts and a wine and beer selection. Its location at Plaça Major and its reservation-led, carefully timed service make it a considered choice for a midday restaurant meal in the Costa Brava hinterland.
