Ah, big difference :raz::laugh::smile: In that case I definitely suggest L'Esguard if you can get in. Other possibilities include Sant Pau, Can Fabes, Gaig, Sauc, and Hisop amongst others.

When we tried to book Sant Pau for lunch on a Sunday in March we were told that the weekends were booked out until August  :sad:

Try Hispania (93.791.03.06 or 93.791.04.57) in Arenys de Mar, if not maybe L'esguard (93.792.77.67) in Llavaneres.

I want to make reservations in Barcelona and Girona. How early can we make dinner reservations? I know it chic to eat at 11:30 but I am an early to bed and early to rise girl. Also, other than Can Roca does any one have any other suggestions for Griona? Not as fancy -just good. Thanks.

Not Barcelona/Girona specific, but I do live in Spain, and the earliest you will be able to get a reservation is most likely 9pm.

Good luck!

Kitchen's usually close around 11:30-12:00, at least in Barcelona, so I don't think you could get a reservation at 11:30 even if you tried.

As Bergerka points out, the earliest is around 9:00, some places may do 8:30.

We''ve opened Pazzta 920, a fresh pasta stall in the Boqueria Market. follow the thread here.

I would suggest focusing on the mid-day meal as your big meal and staying light with tapas for example at supper. Not too far from Girona in Vic, Can Jubany, should provide an excellent and interesting meal.
