Restaurant Sol Blanc
Costa Brava
At a glance
Restaurant Sol Blanc is a rice-focused restaurant in a traditional masia surrounded by the rice fields of Pals, on the Costa Brava. Its cooking draws on the flavours of the Empordà and the traditional Catalan recipe book, with a style that connects familiar regional cuisine with a contemporary restaurant setting.
Pals rice is central to the restaurant’s identity. The menu is built around the local rice-growing tradition, making the venue a natural choice for diners interested in the agricultural and culinary character of the area. The kitchen also works with produce from the Sol Blanc garden, located close to the restaurant, supporting a direct connection between cultivation and cooking.
The garden forms part of a broader approach to local and sustainable produce. The restaurant plans its kitchen and garden together, produces much of its vegetable supply throughout the year, and maintains a preference for ingredients from nearby producers. This gives the food a clear link to its surroundings without separating the dining experience from the working landscape beyond the masia.
The setting combines indoor dining with outdoor space connected to the restaurant. With advance reservation, diners receive an exclusive outdoor area for the aperitif, desserts, coffee and time after the meal. The arrangement suits leisurely lunches and dinners, as well as occasions where the meal extends into a longer gathering.
Restaurant Sol Blanc also caters for group occasions, with indoor and outdoor spaces and group menus for parties from 12 people. Its food workshops focus on preparing different Pals rice dishes from start to finish, while takeaway and home delivery options include rice dishes and other suggestions. These additional services complement the main restaurant rather than replacing its focus on regional cooking and produce-led meals.
The restaurant is suited to diners seeking traditional Catalan and Empordà flavours, a dedicated rice experience, and a rural setting close to Pals. It also works for group meals and celebrations that benefit from a planned format and time to linger around the table.
