La Xicra

La Xicra is a small, welcoming restaurant on Carrer de Sant Antoni in Palafrugell, serving contemporary interpretations of Empordanese cuisine. Its cooking is rooted in the food traditions of the Baix Empordà, while the approach gives familiar regional recipes a current presentation.

The kitchen places emphasis on products that travel relatively little, keeping the focus on the flavours and ingredients associated with the surrounding area. The style is regional rather than formal, with a menu shaped by traditional Catalan cooking and the culinary character of the Empordà. This makes La Xicra a suitable choice for diners looking for local cooking in a relaxed setting rather than an international or highly formal restaurant.

The restaurant occupies a street with a literary connection to Josep Pla, whose novel El carrer estret was inspired by the area. That association gives the setting a distinct Palafrugell identity, while the compact dining room contributes to the intimate atmosphere.

La Xicra also prepares food to take away, providing an option for meals enjoyed elsewhere in Palafrugell or during a Costa Brava stay. The restaurant works for diners interested in regional cuisine, visitors exploring the town’s cultural links, and those seeking a straightforward meal based on Empordanese traditions. Reservations can be made by telephone, and the restaurant’s direct contact is the best way to check current service arrangements, dietary requests, group suitability and seating details.
