El Motel Restaurant: Reviews
Fantastic experience: A classic that is reinvented every day.
Fantastic experience: A classic that does not disappoint. Excellent quality and service.
Fantastic experience: I wasn´t in a very good mood when we checked in. To be honest, I was grumpy. The room didn´t sheer me up. It was Ok, but basic. Then we went to the restaurant... what a joy! These guys are Michelin Star material, but without the chi chi attitude and the chi chi prices. Superfriendly staff and super kitchen. Complements to the chef!
Fantastic experience: We went to this wonderful restaurant on the recommendation of friends and they really fell short. Beautiful decor from the sixties, with super helpful and friendly staff. Where you can enjoy a traditional cuisine with an excellent product. There is a cheese tasting that is wonderful and they also advise you and explain their origin, ahhh and something for which you have to leave a hole is for desserts, which, like cheeses, are presented to you in a cart and you do not know Which one to choose, yes, you choose the one you choose, they are delicious. Place to repeat when you go to Figueras.
Fantastic experience: Temple of gastronomy in Catalonia, Product and professionalism, is what we are looking for and here it never fails, we will return.
Fantastic experience: Good food, Dog friendly
Fantastic experience: Whenever we pass through Figueras to go to France we stop to eat at this restaurant. My parents lived in this town for a long time and for a short period of time. However, they continue to remember this establishment fondly, as a perfect place to meet friends around a good table. The last time we went was a few days ago and the truth is that they never disappoint, quality food with local products and excellent service. The best: the delicacy of the service. The worst: that desserts and cheeses are your choice and you end up eating through your eyes, because everything looks (and consequently tastes) spectacular.
Fantastic experience: Perfect, a weakness. A small but today, time between dish at the beginning of the seasonal menu. By the way, excellent and very reasonably priced. Cakes and cheeses of 10
Fantastic experience: Excellent! A place that leaves you speechless from the first bite.
Fantastic experience: Top level gastronomic experience! Highly recommended steak tartare prepared on the table paired with a unique Koliakos beer
Fantastic experience: Excellent as always. Today we can make a special mention of the Pagell in the bakery and corks of Cadaqués. Nothing more needs to be said about the gutters. Very good !!!!
Fantastic experience: Excellent as always.
Fantastic experience: As always, exquisite cuisine. Good service. The cannelloni are very tasty and the Duroc pork rib is exceptional
Fantastic experience: Fantastic
Positive experience: Nothing exceptional. The interior of the restaurant from the 70's. Attentive and friendly staff. Local and seasonal dishes. Dessert and cheese cart (quite scarce, just to taste). If you pay by card they round off in their favor (is it the tip?). It's good to go once. I was quite disappointed.

Fantastic experience: Birthday cake
Fantastic experience: A classic with capital letters that has to go yes or yes, a reference in the high Empordà, the service and the food are , where for me they make one of my favorite desserts, the corks
Fantastic experience: Fantastic restaurant, everything delicious
Fantastic experience: Nice discovery. Very nice chef. We will come back...
Fantastic experience: Well received nice cheap ..
Fantastic experience: Local cuisine, elaborate and exquisite. Prices according. Very good
Fantastic experience: In two words unbelievable. Food prepared with care, classic but immaculate premises, the service 200% attentive, helpful and without looking directly at the euro but rather at customer satisfaction. The cart of cakes and cheeses .... Speechless
Fantastic experience: The best hotel-restaurant in the Empordà! By far! Josep Pla always stopped there !! What else can we add ..
Fantastic experience: For Chef Subiros, the food and the welcome… an unforgettable place!
Fantastic experience: The good reputation of the Motel is not in vain! One leaves waiting for the next one to repeat. Slow cooking, intense flavors, careful details and a very pleasant atmosphere. The decoration is well maintained. We love it as it is! Please do not change.
Fantastic experience: Excellent. To repeat as much as you can
Fantastic experience: Magnificent menu of both food and wine, very professional service, congratulations we will be back.
Fantastic experience: Great old style hotel but charming and comfortable and very nice staff.
Fantastic experience: The breakfasts are delicious and in good quantity. Very attentive staff.
Fantastic experience: One of the best restaurants in Spain
Fantastic experience: Entering on a Monday at 9:15 am on the way to Perpigná. Order a breakfast for five, with wine and any suggestions. And Jaume Subirós appear to attend and satisfy the group. The suggestions followed one another and the interest of the table overflowed. Reviewing the catalog of the most unique cold cuts and cheeses in the Motel's pantry by the hand of its owner, with a generosity equal to that of his knowledge, is a memorable gift. Only those who deeply love the profession of service build exceptional moments amid the monotony of everyday life. After a few bottles and almost three hours, someone rightly suggested heading home and ending the day: nothing could improve it ...
Fantastic experience: An excellent place, and this is relatively rare, to taste game, and other wild animals, and other Catalan dishes. Perfect and generous service. Remarkable cheese platter. Parking provided in front of the entrance.
Fantastic experience: Very good for accommodation, less for catering.
Fantastic experience: Very good experience. The living room is large and cozy, the attention is perfect, the food is very rich (we have eaten rice with cod and some squid. Both dishes were very nice), but the prices are expensive in my opinion.
Fantastic experience: Hospitality, staff, services, great. We will come back and recommend this hotel.
Fantastic experience: Perfecta! Ideal lunch in airy dining room. Faultless service. Creative seasonal set lunch with matching wines deserves six stars. Passed up the alluring dessert selection for the well presented assortment of French and Spanish cheeses. Another table had steak tartare which will be a top selection on our next visit.
Fantastic experience: It couldn't be better
Fantastic experience: Nice, cozy, great product quality, professionalism. Excellent.
Fantastic experience: Perfect for a stopover on the way south. Nice rooms, friendly staff, clean. The breakfast was awesome. We would stay there again and again
Fantastic experience: A classic and safe value.
Fantastic experience: Very good hotel for a stopover.
Fantastic experience: A good house always, well taken care of with careful elaborations and quality product
Positive experience: It is comforting to return to this classic. The quality is maintained. Recommended.

Fantastic experience: What a pleasure to enjoy a restaurant of this level.
Fantastic experience: Great local restaurant. Offering traditional cuisine with an extraordinary service, taking care of every little detail. Big fan of their different trolleys for Cheese, Dessert and wine. An ultimate experience taking us back in time but forward in quality!
Fantastic experience: Amazing place! Very nice and professional whole team and spectacular food !!! We will be back for sure.
Fantastic experience: Extraordinary in all areas of catering. Letter, space and professionalism. Traditional Catalan quality cuisine.
Fantastic experience: Exquisite food in a setting that has preserved the charm of good modern architecture.
Fantastic experience: Very good restaurant. Impeccable service. Quality products.
Fantastic experience: Hen enjoyed the Seasonal Flavors menu. Excellent, a 10!
Fantastic experience: Excellent everything, spectacular restaurant with a fillet of scandal and is the only place in the area where you can charge ANY electric vehicle. Congratulations!
Fantastic experience: After years and years, it remains a benchmark. Above all, for its cuisine but also for the room, the service, the kindness and professionalism of all.
Fantastic experience: It is an essential place. You can not lose this. Root cooking with magnificent products and cooked to perfection. The cheese cart is formidable and the candy cart is formidable. What has been said is indispensable. The croquettes are legendary, the gutters epic ... don't miss it.
Fantastic experience: We went there for lunch after our civil wedding celebration with the family and they helped making it even more special! Excellent food and excellent service! The cheese cart is amazing! Strongly recommend it!
Fantastic experience: Perfect spot to eat a quality lunch and feed your electric car with some juice ⚡️
Fantastic experience: We have been there many times. A great hotel, excellent restaurant and exemplary service. A place to recharge your batteries. Better than home. I also recommend the Almadrava Park in Roses. It is living in paradise.
Fantastic experience: Amazing! We had dinner with our three sons on a hot summer night on the terrace (31/07/2020). This Catalonian culinary institute is steadily reinventing itself. We gave free hand to chef for both the food and the wine: fresh tomatoes/spinach/anchovies with a bit of ginger was beautiful. Aubergine/trompette de la morte was great as well. Squid with mushrooms and pine nuts delicious. For us a first time was the sea bass tartare prepared table side. A perfect dish on a hot evening (or any evening). We closed off with a proper yet more classic cheese and dessert trolly. Also, the wine list is one of the more interesting in the region. All the classics are represented but in the past years modern style wines are taking their fair share. Price/value is in order. What can I say? I hope to be back soon.
Fantastic experience: Treatment and staff of 10, have met our demands perfectly. Very good food, seasonal product such as the nightingale dish with poached egg, and typical dishes such as rice with rabbit sausages and mushrooms. Q say carts ..... (cheese and cakes) excellent.
Fantastic experience: Nice hotel located a bit from motorv7. Clean and nice everywhere nice staff. Very tasty food.
Fantastic experience: As always we have eaten very well, good service and a menu that is not very extensive but enough to be able to choose. The prices are not those of a chiringuito, but they are not those of the Bullit. They are very reasonable considering quality and service
Fantastic experience: One of my favorite tables. The cradle of contemporary Empordan cuisine. Should be classified as a historic monument.
Fantastic experience: Excellent cuisine, good service, one of the best restaurants in the Empordà
Fantastic experience: A classic, the place is already years old but it eats wonderfully. I recommend the tuna steaks it was the first time I tried it and I was speechless. Everything very rich and well presented. Waiters very attentive and very friendly.
Fantastic experience: We celebrated the 18 years of the snow daughter with the whole family there was a whole show of flavors, tastes, textures a great experience and an excellent service unbeatable!
Fantastic experience: The best by far of all the Emporda, guaranteedX Simply: out of the ordinary !!! ge
Fantastic experience: There are restaurants but like the Motel few. Food of a lifetime but with a sophisticated touch and exquisite attention. All the dishes are magical, the cheese table spectacular and the desserts brutal. We have to taste the cap of each one (it's the real one). Restaurants with many stars, but where you eat so few.
Fantastic experience: Classic restaurant in Figueres with very good Catalan cuisine that works with seasonal produce and km 0. Great service and attention. We will return as is tradition.
Fantastic experience: Excellent kitchen and comfortable space. Unfindable and memorable dishes: thyme soup, veal head with ravigote sauce
Fantastic experience: Everything sensational !!! Service and price. We felt right at home.
Fantastic experience: The thoughtful kitchen and some dishes to enjoy. Although the decoration of the space is already a few years old, it is shown that with a good maintenance it can look without the need for renovation.
Fantastic experience: Great discovery takeaway. We will definitely be back!
Fantastic experience: The exquisite lunch. Unbeatable service. We will be back for sure. The best part: the cheese cart!
Fantastic experience: Always Top ! Thank you - merci, gracias
Fantastic experience: A true "flagship" of the Empordà hotel industry. Both the hotel service and its restaurant "El Motel" are living history in Figueres. An image that always accompanies me, its owner, Jaume Subiros, greeting table by table to his loyal customers. Representatives of the haute cuisine and culture of the Empordà.
Fantastic experience: The best restaurant in Emporda! The chef is a legend in the area.
Fantastic experience: A classic that always surprises with its dishes, both for its interpretation of tradition, product quality, always in season, and an unbeatable presentation. A safe bet, for family reunions, business or just to pamper yourself!
Fantastic experience: Vintage hotel but very well run, impeccable service and restaurant worth the trip, very good Catalan cuisine sought and refined with products from the region only, I strongly recommend
Fantastic experience: It was a long time since I did not eat so well. It has been spectacular! Thanks to all the service that has made the night a round. I will come back with reinforcements, do not hesitate. The height was the cheese table, what a barbarity! Thank you very much!
Fantastic experience: Nice hotel on the edge of Figueres. Very good classic service with excellent food. Catalan classics reinterpreted, whole fish served at the table, excellent also rare rice with sea cucumber and a taste experience that you should not miss. Large cheese wagon and the greening completion of the car with the dessert, where you can choose your desserts to your heart's content. Always an experience and worth a visit!
Fantastic experience: Mythical establishment with an excellent gastronomic offer in a carefully maintained space that retains all the vintage aroma of the 60's. The service is at the level of the dishes and they work with professionalism and efficiency. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Excellent place to eat well! The value for money is very correct. The cheese and dessert car is highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: A gastronomic delight - the chef blends tastes, textures and visual colours to make the meals simply sublime. Just ask the waiter for his advice on wine, you will not be disappointed. The waiting staff are excellent. Value for money - 1st class. Booking essential. The dining room room is spacious witth plenty of room bewtween the tables. The home made mint sorbet is not 'mint flavoured' but is made of fresh mint. Home made desert trolley is mouth watering.
Fantastic experience: It's one of my favorite restaurants. Impeccable quality and service
Fantastic experience: An essential of Catalan cuisine!
Fantastic experience: Very good food at a fair price for the level they have. Great service.
Fantastic experience: Hard to find this cuisine, for its quality. They have excellent service, very nice and very classic space, which also comes in handy.
Fantastic experience: The rooms are very clean, we did not miss a single detail. The food is delicious !!! Excellent. the unbeatable treatment. It sleeps fantastically ... it will be nonsense to say this, but I value it a lot because in other hotels I always come back with an unbearable back pain, because here I slept great !!! Thank you very much !!
Fantastic experience: A great restaurant that is gradually coming back into fashion thanks to its historical positioning as a temple of the product, far from recent fashions. Its service, wine cellar, way of understanding good food (including its after-meals) make it one of my favorites in the area. Maybe summer is not the best time to visit but it was certainly a memorable meal. May it never change!
Fantastic experience: Everyone knows that this is one of the great restaurants in the country. Refined and tasty Catalan cuisine, with a certain French influence. The menu changes often, but everything is delicious. Whole fish in the oven, cheese cart and dessert cart are unforgettable. Formal service, friendly and not at all tense. Obviously not a cheap restaurant, but the prices are absolutely honest and more affordable than other similar or lower level restaurants. An indispensable classic!
Fantastic experience: High quality of products and very good service.
Fantastic experience: One of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to. The food quality and service are amazing. Make sure to call and make a reservation.

Fantastic experience: Excellent food, wines and service!! A place to repeat anytime you are in the area, and fully recommendable for good friends...
Fantastic experience: All excellent and the unbeatable treatment !! The macaroni of the improvements that I have never eaten !!
Fantastic experience: The food here was without a doubt some of the best food I've had (at a more than reasonable price). Needless to say, the service was also outstanding. I can't think of a reason to give this place any less than 5 stars.
Fantastic experience: Excellent Catalan cuisine. Good market product. Recommended fish and rice. Reserve for the cheese cart for dessert. Very good cellar
