Restaurant Ca la Maria
Costa Brava
At a glance
Restaurant Ca la Maria is set in a 17th-century farmhouse at Crta Llagostera-Santa Cristina km 9, in Llagostera, Girona. The property stands beside the Via Verda, the greenway connecting Girona with the Costa Brava, giving the restaurant a countryside setting linked to one of the area’s established cycling and walking routes.
The kitchen is based on modern Catalan cooking. Traditional flavours and familiar regional ideas are combined with contemporary techniques and presentation, while the menu follows the rhythm of the seasons. The approach places emphasis on nearby produce, organic ingredients, fair-trade products and sustainably caught fish. This makes Ca la Maria a suitable choice for diners interested in a more considered relationship between Catalan cuisine and its ingredients.
The restaurant’s food reflects both land and coast. Seasonal vegetables, pulses, mushrooms, seafood and fish can all form part of the cooking, with the selection changing according to availability. The style allows classic Catalan tastes to sit alongside lighter vegetable-led preparations and updated interpretations of regional recipes. The result is a dining experience shaped by produce, locality and technique rather than by a fixed international format.
Ca la Maria also identifies with the Km0 Slow Food Empordà approach. That connection supports the restaurant’s focus on short supply chains, responsible sourcing and food with a clear seasonal identity. It is a useful address for diners looking for Catalan food with an ecological and sustainable perspective, while the farmhouse setting adds a strong sense of place without separating the meal from the surrounding landscape.
A terrace forms part of the restaurant, extending the setting outdoors when conditions allow. The combination of the farmhouse, the terrace and the adjacent Via Verda makes the venue relevant for meals included in a day around Llagostera, as well as for diners specifically seeking contemporary Catalan cuisine. Reservations are handled by the restaurant, which can be contacted on 972 831 334.
