Restaurant Els Tinars

Restaurant Els Tinars is located on the road between Sant Feliu de Guíxols and Girona, at kilometre 7.2 in Llagostera. Its position makes it a practical stop for a Costa Brava itinerary, particularly for diners travelling between the coast and the inland towns of Girona province. The address is outside the centre of Llagostera, so checking the route before setting out is sensible.

The restaurant combines several dining formats. Its offering includes a regular à la carte selection, daily menus and a tasting menu, giving the venue a choice of approaches for different occasions. The menu structure makes Els Tinars suitable for a planned meal as well as for diners looking for a more extended tasting experience. The available formats also make it relevant for visitors exploring Catalan food and wine in the wider Llagostera area, without requiring a particular type of visit.

Wine is a central part of the restaurant’s identity. The cellar holds around 480 references, with coverage of leading Spanish designations, international bottles, wines from the Empordà designation and a selection from small nearby producers. The cellar is maintained with attention to storage and maturation, with bottles kept until they are considered ready for service. This gives the restaurant a broad wine focus that reaches from recognised Spanish regions to local production and smaller wineries.

Els Tinars suits diners who want menu flexibility and a substantial wine selection in a countryside roadside setting. It can work for a meal during a Costa Brava drive, a more structured tasting menu or an occasion centred on choosing a bottle from the cellar. The restaurant provides online reservations and publishes an opening calendar, while telephone and email contact are also available for practical questions. Since the calendar distinguishes between all-day service, lunchtime opening and closure, checking the planned date remains useful before travelling.
