We did not expect to find such a rich place with good service in a place as touristy as Besalú. Very good menu at a reasonable price.

Fantastic experience: We loved the pizzas
Positive experience:
Small place where pizzas and empanadas are offered. The food is generally okay, but the service needs to improve a lot. It is not normal that you have to wait more than 45 minutes for the first course to be brought and that there are only 3 tables inside and 2 on the terrace.

Positive experience:
The best vegan pizza of all we ate !!!, the cheese is made by the chef, who despite looking at me with a reluctant face when changing the chosen dish, ! We were delighted with their pizzas! Cons: We pretty much cater for ourselves. But we would go back for the pizzas and a second chance at the attention!

A very tiny pizzeria !! But with a lot of charm, delicious pizzas and in two sizes, the dough is very good, they have wings with a coconut milk that are delicious! The waitress's great attention and giving us several options such as a very rich vegetable lasagna as well, and at an excellent price, a group of 10 people went and the security measures were perfectly complied with !! Without a doubt, do not stop trying their pitzas, thanks for the treatment received.

Excellent food all homemade and very good taste. The waitress a person of 10, super attentive and knows everything by heart. Too bad I don't have a restaurant there in Besalú, she's the ideal employee. I recommend this site because it is the best option in Besalú.

Positive experience:
We sat without having many expectations of the place but we completely changed the perception. It is a small flirt but with good food and good attention. Saturday's menu was quite large and varied (although a little salty for my taste). The person who attended very friendly and attentive. Prices are good and moderate compared to the other restaurants in town. We really leave happy!

Pizzas more than correct Small but comfortable room. The pizzas are good without being something very remarkable. Price more than correct. In short, what a place to consider if you want to eat pizza and / or empanadas. We tried the special Pizza, the Margarita Pizza and some meat empanadas. For beer they have the Moritz Epidor which I love.
