Fantastic experience: I was there on Friday 30th July with a company dinner. The place is beautiful and cozy. Food is a delight for all the senses. The attention and treatment with the staff is very nice and impeccable. We were also able to enjoy a fantastic concert before dinner while having a drink in their wonderful garden. I will love to repeat !!

Fantastic experience: FROM MICHELÍN GUIDE !! All very good and very careful. Foie with smoked anchovy, spider crab croquettes, seafood rice with fresh prawns Recommended.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: There is little I can add to this restaurant that has not already been said, for something it only has good opinions and there is a queue to get a table. We ate on one of the terraces (there is one downstairs and one on the top floor) and we thoroughly enjoyed dinner. We ate a very rich ceviche, a nape of hake that was blessed glory (we ended up dipping bread), a duck cannelloni and a veal bath, a fun and light dish. It is a very tasty type of cuisine, with Asian and Central American touches, at least it reminds me of dishes that we have eaten in those countries. The waiter took great care of us, it's a shame that I didn't ask him the name. We will be back for sure. I give it a 10.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: at the level of a Michelin star restaurant for quality of service, plate and quality of food / price. The rice of the house at its point, good flavor and good quantity. A good bread, the one with olives delicious. The cheesecake dessert different but very rich.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: We had lunch at the Terrace (where they have a different menu than the restaurant). Fantastic, excellent food in an incomparable setting. A place I recommend you go to.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Restaurant of the highest gastronomic quality. It is well worth the 8-course "Es Portal Menu". Traditional cuisine with touches of modernity in textures and fusion of tastes and foods. The hotel is charming, in a restored 16th century farmhouse and the service is excellent. "Adults only" guarantees peace for a rest and tranquility in the Empordà.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Nice hotel restaurant Tasting menu very rich in local products Very affordable wines
Translated from French

Fantastic experience: An unbeatable setting, a 16th century farmhouse surrounded by gardens, some haute cuisine dishes, somewhat expensive, but worth it.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: If you want to escape nerves, city, standardization and vulgarism in any of its forms, this is your place, and it is because of style, taste, peace, harmony, quality, good service and an exquisite restaurant.

Fantastic experience: Okay

Fantastic experience: I made a gift to my partner at the hotel restaurant to eat the rice menu and the truth is that it is spectacular. Very good, amazing service, attention and very elaborate dishes. For a price of 42 euros you have a complete and very special menu.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: High-level gastronomy in a magnificent place and with a category service.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: We enjoyed one of the better tasting menus we had in a while in the area. Food was creative, well prepared, and high quality. Can highly recommend to accompany the tasting menu with the wine pairing, which made the menu complete.

Fantastic experience: Very grateful for having adapted the rice menu to my wife who is celiac and cannot eat garlic either, very kind we will return without hesitation
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Beautiful restaurant, at least inside. The food is delicious, although the service is a bit brittle from time to time and does not want to allocate tables with the note that they are reserved, which they are not. In the outdoor area, unfortunately, plastic chairs, which do not fit the hotel and the ambience. Food was very tasty, as well as wine. Price-performance ratio is right.
Translated from Deutsch

Fantastic experience: Our stay has been very pleasant. They are attentive and professional. The farmhouse is really beautiful. Breakfast is frankly spectacular. A place to return and recommend.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Four people enjoyed the 8-course menu with matching wines. Beautiful dishes, friendly service. The waitress started out in Spanish/Catalan, but she also explained all the follow-up dishes and wines in English. That is once again "doing your best to make the customer happy". Evening filling program. We enjoyed.

Fantastic experience: The restaurant is simple, but the food is supreme. All super good, especially the rice dishes. The staff is very aware of everything and recommends you if you have any questions. Correct quality / price ratio. It has its own parking, a luxury.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: A splendid place; very quiet, very good facilities, close and professional service and excellent food. To recommend and go back.
Translated from Italiano

Fantastic experience: Our land, my country, is full of great surprises and gastronomic references. The portal is a clear example of all this. Tasting the Es Portal menu plus an expert and studied pairing, moves you and transports you. You make a sea and mountains without leaving a rustic, solid, elegant and privileged space. Steamed cockles with umami vinaigrette are a single sip ... but what a sip. It's a difference, you notice all the tastes on the palate. A short appetizer worked and 10. The Mediterranean red tuna belly with a variety of vegetables and mint oil and the scallop with white butter sauce with Iberian shoulder and lentil salad is twilight. They are short, intense tastings and to enjoy (also and a lot) the aroma of it all and the delicious tasting. The Akita Komachi variety rice grown in Pals is both soft and extraordinary, you never get tired of it. It's worth a good dish (you have to go back) attic, without accompanying stridencies (sea espadrilles and saffron allioli) simple and exquisite. The sensational sea bass back again accompanied by autumn truffle that makes it even more and better. From Montanya, the beef tataki with rancid wine sauce, mixture and balanced texture, long tasting, intense aroma. Sublime. The galaxy of desserts would not know how to find it in space. The Orange Pie has surpassed me, in detail and tasty. Perfect Combination. Fresh mint ice cream, Chocolate Win with cardamom, matcha tea sponge and almond crumble is, I repeat from another galaxy ... I've never tasted such a combination ... Never! The sweet Grenache that accompanies it (from the Empordà) makes my chin tremble ... SUPERIOR. I am accompanied in the meal by an original, coherent and universal pairing of wines and beers such as the Empordà. A journey perfectly led by the master of the room. You knew explanations and great selection of broths. All in all, it is an experience on the palate that is highly recommended (mandatory?) To anyone who lends themselves to balanced, well-thought-out and structured gastronomic discoveries of gastronomy and products faithful to the land and the Empordà. Exquisite treatment in the preparation and a very balanced tasting menu and ready to fill without overflowing. Art is also tasted and smelled. Thanks.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Always a perfect table. Succulent .... high level. Always consistent. Without surprises. To do absolutely. Very pleasant place. Very charming. Very correct price.
Translated from French

Fantastic experience: Beautiful charming hotel, all very clean and comfortable, without noise. In the pool we were alone. The restaurant is very good, we will repeat everything for sure.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: A cozy place where you can relax very well. The exquisite duck cannelloni. Terrace, dining room with windows ... good service.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: The stay was great, the room was very correct, the breakfast was very good and we loved the menu. Very friendly treatment of all staff.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Charming restaurant. We felt very comfortable and well cared for from the first moment. We chose a menu because due to covid restrictions, the menus are served until 9pm. To start, they put a small appetizer, then a starter. The sea goat croquettes were good without being spectacular but I must say that the black rice was the best I have ever had. Perfect in every sense. For dessert we chose "El citric" and it was a great combination of ice cream of various citrus textures with cookies. Terrific. The wine, recommended by the waiter, was the perfect choice. The attention was ten. We will be back without a doubt. Also comment that we stayed one night in the suite. Very spacious room, with soft light and rustic decoration according to the more than sixteenth century where it is staying. Very large bed where (for my taste) the pillows were somewhat soft. Piped music in the room and bathroom with hydromassage bathtub. Perhaps the toilet door could be improved, as it is glazed and can compromise privacy at some point. Very well soundproofed since even passing the road by the side you hardly hear anything. The included breakfast is served on a tray with both salty and sweet. You can also order an omelette or eggs with bacon. Amount more than leftovers. Stay of 10 in a great gastronomic hotel. Highly recommended
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: We have only spent one night, with a tasting dinner included, but we have completely disconnected, only the birds could be heard in the room. The exquisite dinner, the very attentive and very friendly service, and to enjoy the surroundings, the hotel is a pass from Pals or Begur. It really is something very special, especially in these difficult times. We heartily recommend it. We will be back for sure!
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Always a pleasure to dine here. Splendid environment, attentive service and very good cuisine. Not cheap but excellent value for money. Impressive wine list if you want to push the boat out.

Fantastic experience: Blown away by the experience at Es Portal. The value for money is impeccable. The staff is the highest quality, the food delicious and the ambience five star, wouldn’t be surprised if Es Portal works their way up to be a Michelin Star restaurant one day! Thank you for a truly lovey experience!

Fantastic experience: Outstanding local cuisine and excellent service, everything surrounded by nature.

Fantastic experience: A beautiful place. We made the menu It's Portal and I really liked it. The dishes are all very good and the service perfect, friendly and likeable. We recommend it and will be back for sure. Thank you so much
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: First of all the place is very nice. Even though we were inside, the place was cool and very nice. Second, treat it a 10! Very friendly, attentive, and kind. About the food ... Nothing to say except spectacular. All very nice, and out of the ordinary. Thank you so much for everything, we will be back.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Excellent restaurant, we ordered the lunch menu and the food was great. The price is € 22.5 and includes three starters, a main course and dessert. One of the best places I've ever been to. 100% recommendable.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Correcting the last review I did, this time lunch at Es Portal has again been an excellent experience! The dishes have been simply magnificent and the service and treatment very good. You have regained your essence. Also say that absolutely all prevention measures are followed, both in service and in the spaces. You are making a great effort to move forward despite the difficulties that unfortunately accompany us now, lots of encouragement !!
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: A very charming place, a farmhouse hotel for adults only, with very beautiful and well-cared exteriors. The treatment of the hotel staff and the wonderful restaurant. The room is beautiful, spacious and very well equipped, with a very nice bathroom. We have tried the tasting menu, very varied and very good, with various wines and desserts. We couldn't stay for breakfast and they have prepared a picnic for us with assorted pastries and sandwiches. A great experience, recommended, we will surely repeat.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Great culinary experience. Fully recommend for a very refined and creative dinner, as well as overnight stay.

Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: We spent a few days at the hotel and the experience was unbeatable. The hotel is cozy, the breakfasts delicious and plentiful and the restaurant offers many menu or a la carte options. The experience was completed by the staff who were very friendly at all times and as a special mention we would like to thank the receptionists (Noelia and Marina) for their excellent treatment and help in everything. Thank you so much!
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Excellent. Although details like putting the cutlery would need to be improved. The best is the rice and then the pork cheek.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Nice property with really friendly staff. We booked the package with the gastronomic dinner included. Really a nice deal. The dinner was fantastic and I would come back only for it

Fantastic experience: We have been several times although this year not yet. The food is excellent and the service very professional in a very pleasant environment.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Incredible Gourmet food and service. Prices are really correct and the environment/deco of the resto is extra. Should be rated at least with one Michelin star, and if they already have one, it deserves one more...

Fantastic experience: We came in the summer and did the paella menu and we were delighted. We decided to spend New Year's Eve and we couldn't have been better. The room is beautiful, the dinner is very good with quality products and the staff are very professional and attentive. Covid protocols were followed at all times. Delighted.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Very nice environment and space. Very good food, very good rice and very good starters, the only thing that the dessert smeared a bit, but other than that I have no other reproach, I will recommend it to many people
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Every time we go we are delighted with the service and especially with the food. All the starters to share are very good and then they served us a rice with trumpets of death that was "dead", one of the best rice we have ever eaten. We have never been disappointed.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: I came with my partner to celebrate our anniversary and we could not leave more satisfied. All the very attentive staff, the spectacular dinner, the very nice room, we will surely repeat. The only thing I missed is the possibility of having more light in the room. CONGRATULATIONS
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: We were able to go to discover this magnificent hotel-restaurant and taste the rice menu. The impression has been wonderful, the quality of the product, the workmanship, impeccable presentation. The menu is fantastic, all accompanied by a great, pleasant atmosphere, with all the covid measures. I would like to insist on the quality of the room equipment. Great treatment, nice and attentive For me it was a visit pending for a long time, and luckily, today it has come true. WE WILL BE BACK !!!
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Beautiful Catalan farmhouse located in the center of my beloved Empordà; It is a beautiful place with a dining room and a very cozy garden where you can enjoy excellent food with high quality local products. In this case we enjoyed the rice menu and it was all exquisite. The attention of the staff is also excellent. You can also eat on the terrace that these days of bakery is appreciated for safety. The farmhouse also has a hotel, although I don't know the rooms. Wanting to return for a thousand reasons and enjoy the whole set.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Amazing experience!! The hotel is really great, the room is spacious and well isolated from the heat or cold outside! It is very cosy and welcoming. Staff are really nice! The restaurant offer very raffine cuisine! The tasting menu is really worth it! Will definitely come back

Fantastic experience: Fantastic. It eats very well and is cozy. Views and privileged situation. The rooms are luxurious and the landscape and tranquility second to none. The passion for the gastronomy that Joan Carles has is out of the ordinary. It's no more that's why it appears in the Michelin guide
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Seldom eaten so well! For € 25 there is a menu with 5 Catalan specialties. I would have paid € 50 too. Unfortunately, the special rice dishes (specialties of the house), as usual in Spain, can only be ordered for at least 2 people. Fortunately, the inexpensive menu also included a rice dish. Delicious. I'm curious when we as a family will have the freedom to choose.
Translated from Deutsch

Fantastic experience: My partner and I went to spend our first anniversary and we went out super happy! The rooms are very nice, they have preserved the original walls of the farmhouse and it has a very special atmosphere. As for food ... The best rice I've tried in life. Unbeatable experience.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: I can only have words of praise, for Joan Carles, and the rest of the team. We celebrated our wedding last October 5th. Impeccable organization and monitoring, from day one. Thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart for the dream weekend, and for making us so, so happy. A very, very big kiss for everyone, and many thanks to Dunia, for the trust she conveyed to us from the first moment! See you soon Joan Carles!

Fantastic experience: Last year I stayed here, and this year I went with my anniversary dinner couple.

Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Well worth a visit, very relaxing, fantastic food and wonderful service

Fantastic experience: Proximity products of quality reflected in the dishes. Suggestive selection of national and international wines, cavas and champagnes. Impeccable service and very good treatment. Visca l'Empordà!
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: The room was really cosy and characterful with lots of historic and authentic accents..the place has been beautifully renovated and tha staff are delightful. Beds are super comfy with high quality linens. Our room was the smallest in the place and the only suggestion I’d make is that it would help to have a little more storage for clothes and toiletries. The bathroom was very spacious with again quality fixtures and travertine walls and floors. It would have been nice to have access to sun loungers on a terrace, since the pool area was closed until summer. We didn’t manage to eat in the restaurant, but we hope to be back and enjoy what looks like a very classy menu. But really the overall experience was extremely enjoyable.

Fantastic experience: Close to the historic center of Pals is this picturesque Gastronomic Hotel, which is well worth moving to enjoy a good meal. They served me the "Season Tast Menu", for those who doubt if this is a good choice, to say yes, which is the best way to try different options on the menu. Mention deserve their rice, Pals of course, exquisite. Good value for money. Attentive service, but not overwhelming. Highly recommended
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: We have made Es Portal Menu, an excellent menu, with products of very good quality, excellent presentation and service. Unbeatable value for money.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Very nice authentic Spanish food served in a glass walled area with beautiful scenic farmlands

Fantastic experience: If you want to eat good rice this is the place! The staff has been very kind to us, the menu is generous with seasonal dishes that were offered and the prices since they are not cheap, nor are they too expensive maintaining a good quality / price ratio. The building is very beautiful. We ate in the interior dining room which personally is much better than the terrace and gives the touch to old farmhouse.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Super hotel. We do have the smallest room in the hotel; not the promised 18 m3, rather 15 unfortunately. But otherwise good. Breakfast also good, omelet or fried egg can be ordered extra at no extra cost.

Fantastic experience: Everything excellent, surroundings, food ... now the slow service without much desire to attend. I also rate it with a 5 because everything was excellent and yes there was a friendly waitress, only one.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: A very nice experience! We went 14 people to do one of the menus for groups. Both the space, the food and drink as the service were excellent! Highly recommended!
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Exellent Restaurant. Good offer of high quality menus. the unbeatable rice The menu we made of € 35 was unbeatable! Very recommendable, good balance between cooking and service. It makes excitement to find good honest Restaurants in an area where the overcrowding is widespread.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: BEAUTIFUL !! To repeat. We have been delighted with the stay at the hotel. The first thing that caught our attention when entering (apart from the farmhouse that is beautiful) is the kindness of the staff, very attentive and correct people. The spacious room and even facing the road, you couldn't hear a vehicle passing by, it is very well soundproofed. We had dinner at the restaurant and tried the Es Portal tasting menu, it was all delicious, for me the rice was one of the best I have ever tasted, a very attentive waitress and a good explanation of the dishes. Very complete and good breakfast (hot only omelette and scrambled eggs made to order). I rarely say it but here I repeat for sure.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Honestly, I'm still drooling when thinking about the food here! Just exquisite haute cuisine! Joan Carles is a master of the kitchen and he really knows what and HOW to present you the food. Fresh ingredients, interesting combinations, he and his team did a great job to prepare some vegan food even if it was not in the main menu. Thanks so much! Many local specialties like Pals rice dishes, but the meat and fish dishes my partner ordered were delicious too. Highly recommended also for events as there is a nice garden restaurant attached to the main renovated building. Thanks for a FANTASTIC experience!

Fantastic experience: We have stayed a few days with my 12-month-old daughter and my husband, and it has seemed like a beautiful place, all of stone and wood, I love it! and it is very cozy. The food to say, without words !!
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Excel·lent

Fantastic experience: One of the best meals I had during my time in Spain! Be sure to order the tasting menu with the wine pairings. Every dish was perfect and the wine pairings were spot on. I even enjoyed a beetroot dish when I don't normally care for beets and I ate dessert, which I usually skip.

Fantastic experience: A beautiful place Great service, and very friendly reception staff. Oto received us with a lot of kindness and sympathy. A place to repeat without a doubt. The excellent gastronomy.

As for the attention given by all the employees of the hotel, from the reception to the kitchen has been incredible. For us some of the best days we have spent this summer
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: A beautiful farmhouse of Baix Empordá. I have not been to the hotel, but the restaurant has a modern, high-quality and elaborate cuisine, and an excellent wine list. The staff is very professional, always attentive and knowledgeable about what works. It also has a fantastic daily menu, unexpected given the exclusive location and the treatment of its staff.
