Restaurant Pahissa del Mas
Costa Brava
At a glance
Restaurant Pahissa del Mas is housed in a historic farmhouse in the Pals countryside, with rice fields surrounding the property. The building, known as Mas Pou de Pals, dates from the 14th century and gives the restaurant a strong sense of place. Its setting connects the dining room with the agricultural landscape that has long shaped the local food culture.
The restaurant’s cooking combines traditional products with more creative flavour combinations. The kitchen follows the seasons and changes the menu to work with market produce and fresh ingredients. Local sourcing is central to the approach, with the food presented as a careful interpretation of the area’s culinary traditions rather than a fixed selection of dishes.
Rice has a particular importance here. The surrounding land has a long history of rice cultivation, and the restaurant uses rice grown from its own fields. Rice dishes form a defining part of the menu and reflect the connection between the farmhouse, the landscape and the produce served at the table.
The atmosphere is shaped by the character of the old family home, the rural location and the restaurant’s small-scale, personal origins. The dining experience is suited to diners interested in seasonal cooking, local ingredients and a meal connected to Pals’ agricultural heritage. It also offers a setting for a considered lunch or dinner away from the busier coastal areas, while remaining within easy reach of the wider Costa Brava region.
The menu can include vegetable, fish, seafood and meat preparations, with traditional ingredients handled in contemporary ways. Desserts and other courses also draw on local produce and rice, extending the restaurant’s central ingredient beyond savoury cooking. The overall style is refined without separating the food from its rural surroundings.
Restaurant Pahissa del Mas is located at Barri Molinet, 16, in Pals, Girona. Advance reservations are encouraged, and the restaurant provides telephone and online reservation options. The venue’s published regular schedule covers lunch and dinner from Wednesday to Saturday, with lunch service on Sunday.
