Restaurant Empòrium
Costa Brava
At a glance
Restaurant Empòrium is a gastronomic restaurant in the historic centre of Castelló d’Empúries, a medieval town in the Alt Empordà. Its setting places it between the sea and the mountains, with the wider Costa Brava landscape within reach. The restaurant forms part of a gastronomic hotel, making it suitable for a dedicated meal as well as a longer stay in the area.
The restaurant focuses on a carefully developed dining experience rather than a casual café format. Its character is connected to the local setting and to the Empordà, with a style that gives the kitchen room to present a considered interpretation of the region’s culinary identity. The atmosphere suits diners looking for a composed meal in an established restaurant setting, whether for a special occasion, a destination meal or a quieter evening during a stay in Castelló d’Empúries.
Restaurant Empòrium also has a clear relationship with the surrounding landscape. The hotel and restaurant describe sustainability as an ongoing part of their work, including attention to water, energy use, waste management and the natural environment. That approach adds an environmental dimension to the experience without changing the restaurant’s central focus on gastronomy.
The location makes the restaurant a practical base for exploring the town and the nearby Empordà area. Castelló d’Empúries offers a historic setting, while the Aiguamolls de l’Empordà provides a nearby connection with the region’s natural landscape. A meal at Empòrium can therefore fit into a day combining local heritage, countryside and food, or stand alone as the main purpose of an evening.
Restaurant Empòrium is best suited to diners who value a structured gastronomic experience, an atmospheric historic setting and a restaurant with a strong sense of place. It is also a natural choice for hotel guests seeking an on-site dining option. The venue should be distinguished from Bistrot 1965, the more informal restaurant concept associated with the same hotel. Reservations are advisable, particularly when the meal is part of a planned visit to Castelló d’Empúries.
