Restaurant Ca l'Enric

Restaurant Ca l’Enric is set on the N-260 in the Vall de Bianya, an inland area of Girona characterised by rugged terrain, quiet surroundings and a richly wooded landscape. The setting places the restaurant away from the busier coastal towns, making it a natural stop for travellers exploring the inland side of a Costa Brava itinerary.

The cooking is rooted in traditional Catalan cuisine, with a contemporary interpretation that gives careful attention to seasonal produce and ingredients from the surrounding area. The nearby forests are an important influence, bringing woodland flavours, wild herbs and locally connected produce into a kitchen that combines familiar regional ideas with more modern techniques.

Ca l’Enric occupies a former roadside inn whose earlier role also included a small grocery shop and barber’s space. That history remains part of the character of the house, while the dining room has been shaped with a contemporary design. The atmosphere is described as welcoming and quiet, creating a calm setting for a considered meal rather than a casual roadside stop.

The restaurant offers both set menus and à la carte dining. Menus follow the market, so the selection can change according to the day and the ingredients available. The style moves between land, river, sea and forest, with traditional sauces, preserved flavours, grilled elements and refined presentations appearing alongside seasonal vegetables, mushrooms, meat and fish. The result is a form of Catalan cooking that keeps its local identity while allowing room for experimentation.

Ca l’Enric suits diners looking for a destination meal centred on regional produce, contemporary technique and a strong sense of place. It also accommodates celebrations, with a setting suited to longer meals and shared occasions. As the menu is served to the whole table, the restaurant is best approached as a collective dining experience, particularly when choosing one of the tasting-style options.
