Can Roca is no surprise here. The Girona restaurant run by the Roca brothers three is always in the ‘Best Restaurants in the World’ conversation. Of the 796 reviews the restaurant has received, 679 are ‘Excellent’, 60 are ‘Very Good’ and 57 are either ‘Average’, ‘Poor’, or ‘Terrible’. That’s an Excellence rating of 85%.
If you’re in Barcelona, you can take the train to Girona for a meal at Can Roca. If you’d rather stay in the city, you can enjoy Roca cuisine at the Michelin-starred Roca Moo in Hotel Omm.
