Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience: Really well. Good service, good food and excellent dessert. We ate onion cake, macaroni, green salad, duck confit with chickpeas and rice, entrecote, spinach cannelloni and mousse and chocolate cake plus pineapple. The place is pretty good. And outside the super terrace. Menu price € 25. The Bistrot is located on the Pujada de Sant Domènec, it is an impressive street with stairs, beautiful from any angle. There is the Renaissance Palace of Caramany, the Palau dels Agullana, and at the top, the baroque-neoclassical church of Sant Martí Sacosta.

Fantastic experience: Very good experience, both at the food level and at the service and local level. The menu of the day is 19.90, it may seem a bit expensive, but it is worth it. All the dishes, without exception, were delicious. The red wine included in the menu, a raimat, is not seen everywhere. The place, an old building in the historic center, beautiful and comfortable. We ate here for two hours, and they don't rush you. We will be back.

Fantastic experience: The weekend menu is great. Traditional cuisine, complete portions and the right price.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience: This is our second time at the Bistrot, now for lunch on a Saturday. They have a menu for 25 euros, it's a lifelong cuisine… a trinxat with very good potatoes and cabbage and a very soft, creamy carrot-flavored carrot cream. The pork feet are a bit sticky, very good, the duck confit is very French / Girona. Very good curd and fruit salad of the day. The place was packed, but the service was fast and friendly!
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience: Good place, in a very nice place and super friendly waiters. Homemade menu simple and very tasty. 25€ weekend.
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience: The place is beautiful, the staff very friendly. We ordered a main course which was a steak with legumes, which were just chickpeas. That's why the 4 stars, I must admit that we were a little disappointed with the garnish. But the dessert, delicious.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience: Creps, salads, pizzas and an excellent wine list. Smart-casual. Beautiful setting- sit outside on the steps or inside (decorated old Catalan style).
Positive experience: The terrace is idyllic. Very romantic and quiet because it is in a pedestrian street, the downside of the terrace is that the tables are very small. The midday menu is good in quantity and the dishes are usually local.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience: Very good menu of the day, value for money 10. Very nice restaurant and its location in Girona could not be better.
Translated from Italiano

Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience: Always nice food reasonably prices and the best terrace
Positive experience: Very nice restaurant in the old part of Girona. Very good value for money menu and good service.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience: Always a good place to stop and have a drink after walking to the top of the hill in the town. The food I've eaten in this restaurant a couple of times has been good and I couldn't complain about the service.
Fantastic experience: Charming place with one of the most romantic terraces in the center of Girona, located on some stairs. The food is good, the pizzas are made in pages pan llescas. Correct service. It depends on the time, the terrace will be quite full, it is recommended to have dinner early.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience: Very nice food. Menu is in Catalan but excelent waiting staff speak good English and were v helpful translating

Fantastic experience: Very special location. Good coffee and desserts. I stayed in Girona in one night and one of the recommended locations and Cafes was Cafe le Bistrot, the service is excellent and the interiors are very special.
Fantastic experience: my favourite restaurant in Girona
Translated from French
Fantastic experience: Girona's emblematic place, a must-see if you are passing through. There are some tables outside located in a beautiful Old Town setting. During the week at noon they make a very complete menu. For me the food is excellent and the treatment very nice, looking forward to going back!
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience: Charming and romantic. It is essential to try the pizza with pasta, this is very good! We were attended by a waitress of 10, who made the evening very pleasant. The value for money is excellent. It is usually quite full, so it is better to book.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience: Loved the staff here. It was a chilly day and we really wanted to sit outside on the terrace to enjoy the views for lunch even though there was no one out there. We were those annoying American tourists... but they helped us feel welcome. Lunch menu was in Catalan, google translate was sort of helpful. ;) Salad, wine, onion tart, lamb and mousse for dessert. All delicious! Highly recommend this place.
Fantastic experience: Local with charm where to find Catalan cuisine. Quality and well-cooked products. It has been a good discovery. Highly recommended for tasting traditional dishes in our kitchen. Better if you book because it is a known place and it is filled. It's worth paying € 25 from the menu. If we go back to Girona surely we will repeat a visit.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience: Great food and a great setting in the heart of the old town. Lovely place to sit outside and enjoy the lovely views and menu del dia. Lots of tourists around taking photos of the Game of thrones location.
Fantastic experience: Our waiter was the nicest guy ever. He had been traveling quite a bit and shared some fun stuff. Would go again anytime!
Fantastic experience: An excellent meal, with good attentive service. Three years since I ate their, but still great. My son was impressed.
Fantastic experience: Really great menu of the day. Loved the cod and the fruit salad though the chocolate cake read a bit dry.
Fantastic experience: This is on a lovely backstreet with tables on the steps, was v warm so we ate inside, large, bistrot style rooms, busy with a lot of Spanish people, good sign As we walked through the door, the chap behind the bar said 'welcome', which is a good start The staff were great, friendly and translated the menu for us Had the set lunch menu, think it was €14?, I had mashed potato stuffed with a creamy/ mayonnaisey sauce with peppers and capers in, sounded a bit random but was really tasty, mark had aubergine, onion and peppers, looked a bit boring but v tasty I chose the pigs cheeks for main, casseroled with shallots, pinto beans and carrots really good,big portions, couldn't eat it all Mark had duck confit with beans and veg I had a soft cheese with honey on for pud, mark had a coffee Would def recommend this place, not fancy but, home cooked and tasty and lovely staff Def return and recommend
Fantastic experience: It is the most iconic restaurant in town. The good is exquisite. We say out side one night and inside another time when it rained. It is quite large inside. However, to get the full Catalan ambience, you really must sit outside.
Fantastic experience: Good
Fantastic experience: Didnt realise why everyone was taking pictures until we left. But good service and sensible prices for our drinks.
Fantastic experience: A restaurant where artists hang out. Poets, authors, painters, filmmakers - a place for reflection and inspiration. Great location, great service, and great food. We were a company of 6 including 2 children. The food and drinks were served timely. The menu was of good variety and the tastes selection was to everyone’s palate: veg and non-veg. We tried the starters: cannelloni with cheese and spinach, onion cake, and homemade cheese macaroni for the kids. For the mains: bacalao (cod fish) with gravy and rice, tender lamb shank with potatoes, and a chicken dish for the kids. For dessert: flan custard with coffee, flan custard with yogurt and orange sauce, sorbets of different flavors. Fantastic place! A must when visiting the old town. Order a table in advance for sure.
Fantastic experience: Nice cava and food helpful staff

Fantastic experience: Definetley one of the best restaurants in Gerona. This classical Catalan restaurant has an amazing outdoor terras (which you can't reservate). However the interior is cosy as well. The food is amazing and very affordable. Their specialities range from a Catalan toast pizza with all sorts of toppings to amazing meat and pasta dishes. The portions are of a good size and the variety of pastries is great. The service is decent as well, and the servants speak good English and while the menu is in Catalan they are willing to translate everything for you (multiple times).
Fantastic experience: Great place, amazing food. We loved the large shared Plat Silva platter with local cheeses, charcuterie and paté, as well as the La Rambla "pizza" with cheese, figs and a hint of anchovy(?!).
Fantastic experience: I would recommend Cafe le bistrot. The food and service is on another level
Fantastic experience: Amazing food, and great view whether you get to sit inside at the windows or outside beside the funky steps (+10% charge though if you sit outside). Great for GoT fans wanting to flawlessly recreate Arya's waif chase scene (as below). Service was fabulous and the nice waitress explained the menu to us (as us norn iron folk couldn't read a word of the Catalan menu). Great selection of food, and the portions are just right. 10/10 would Cafe le Bistrot again. Also the only restaurant in the immediate area that wasn't booked up and we could just walk into and eat in.
Fantastic experience: It is a very nice place restaurant. It is definitely worth visiting once in Girona. The food was delicious, but the choice of local wines is absolutely crucial here. If you decide to dine here, please do yourself a favour and order some of the local wines, you will not regret it!
Fantastic experience: Nice relaxing place for a coffee.
Fantastic experience: Charming place. Romantic... Good service, nice food.
Fantastic experience: This place is incredible and serves up wonderfully priced, great quality bistro type food. The pizza de pages are phenomenal - simple and delicious. The specials are also always great and varied. But, what really makes this place sing is the venue's wonderful location and interior design. It feels like you have stepped back in time, and blends in a French element that feels stripped from a Hemingway novel. If you're in girona and after a wonderful lunch/dinner,.check out this place.
Fantastic experience: Good food. Great service. Amazing location. Reasonable prices. House wine was good and well priced. I had a cheese and strawberry salad, a pizza and ice cream with blackberry sauce. All very tasty. The pizzas are more like a large slice of toast with a pizza topping; they're not Italian style. I'd eat there again.
Fantastic experience: Lots of character and great food. Staff very helpful. A very charming place.
Fantastic experience: Great food and service. Get the set menu!
Fantastic experience: Lovely place and location. Wine was excellent, the spinach crêpe with bechamel was amazing. Definitely a place to come back!
Fantastic experience: A fantastic setting, gregarious staff and delicious food in Girona

Fantastic experience: Very good food
Fantastic experience: Local tavern in the historic center. With € 30 you have the menu consisting of a first, a second, a dessert chosen from a very varied list. They also bring you water, wine or beer and bread. Portions are very generous. The menu was in Catalan, but they were all available to help us understand. Recommended!

Fantastic experience: Amazing
Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere and service
Fantastic experience: Good food, good prices, friendly staff. Two course meal with wine or beer for 14 Euros. Recommended.
Fantastic experience: A must do thing in Girona,a ancient feel when you take the outside restaurant seating area.
Fantastic experience: Perfect place for a hearty lunch! Great location and wonderful staff. Loved it!
Fantastic experience: Wow!!! If I could give this place 6 stars I would. The duck confit with mushroom sauce my waiter recommended was probably the best I've ever had, I savoured every juicy bite! I found their menu very reasonably priced, especially the "combo" meals, where you get wine, an entree, and dessert. The staff were super kind and patient to translate the Spanish menu for me, and even explained local cuisine and recommended me their favorites. My chocolate cake was delicious, but far too dense and creamy for me to finish after my huge entree. Additionally, the views on the terrace is absolutely breathtaking, you're submersed in the middle of winding staircase/alley as people pass by. They do charge a few Euros to sit on the terrace, so ask to sit inside if you prefer a quieter, more intimate setting.
Fantastic experience: We had a really good dinner here: very good food, friendly personnel and a nice place.

Fantastic experience: A great find with exceptional service! Open late. Gluten intolerant and found a wonderful chicken salad! Best salad in Girona! We were looking for a place, was already late, past 11:30pm and find this great place! Good house wine! Friendly and great service!
Fantastic experience: Our roasted pork cheeks looked and tasted so good that people came over to ask us what we had so they could order the same. Service was a bit slow when we were trying to get the check but otherwise a nice meal in a great location

Fantastic experience: We went here for Espe's birthday lunch with friends. Really great food and very friendly place to eat, and the restaurant itself has charming intimate tables next to windows overlooking the Barri Vell.
Fantastic experience: Eat in a few places in Girona and this was probably the best meal. Had a table outside on the steps which was very pleasant even at the end of October. Eat traditional local fare before grabbing an ice cream elsewhere for desert.
Fantastic experience: We enjoyed three good meals -- 1st and 2nd courses, dessert, and 1 drink...16€ each...great service too! We recommend the Cafè le Bistrot without hesitation.
Fantastic experience: one of the best restaurant in Girona, great location, delicious food and this mood of the film

Fantastic experience: Nice restaurant with pleasant staff serving good Catalán food. 15 euros for Menú del Día. Worth every penny! Nicely situated in a traditional old Catalán building in the heart of Girona's old town.
Fantastic experience: The restaurant is located in the most romantic street I have ever visited. The restaurant itself is beautiful, but the food is even better. I had the lamb and it was spectacular. I would go there any time!!!! Girona m'enamora!!!!
