Q

Cuisine and vibe?

A

Gastronomy. Complex creations inspired by the roca’s childhood memories. Their parents owned a restaurant in the Girona and still cook for the staff everyday. A sense of playfulness is instilled in the dishes with innovative cooking techniques and unique presentations that stimulate the mind as much as the senses. The wine pairings could be a reason to visit alone.

An airy and elegant dining room. You will see three rocks as the center piece. Each represents one of the brothers who’s last name translates to ‘rock.’
