Fantastic experience:
We had dinner at this restaurant and it was a success, we had a hard time choosing because we wanted several dishes from the menu. The dishes are very good, good product and well prepared. The place is very beautiful and the terrace is spectacular with views of the Besalú bridge. The best of the experience was undoubtedly the attention of Zaki, friendly, attentive, super polite and efficient!
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience: Great service in a very pretty terrace with a lot of plants decorating and an awesome view of the great bridge! The food was great, could have had a bit more quantity but the quality was excellent. It also had good options for celiacs and there were no issues later. Just keep in mind it's a pretty touristy town.

Translated from French
Fantastic experience:
Restaurant in a historic building in Besalú, with stone everywhere. The terrace has a very cozy atmosphere. There is a very special corner under a tree, "hidden" where you have the absolute calm. We really liked the food, well presented, decorated and very tasteful of everything we were able to taste. Marinated salmon salad, burrata salad, beetroot gazpacho, Iberian prey with two cooked and old mustard, duck breast with foie and brioche and a whole turbot in the oven. For dessert we made a birthday cake. The views of the Pont de Besalú are fantastic but the other rooms they have in other corners of the same place are equally beautiful.

Fantastic experience:
Highly recommended. The truth is that they had not been there for a long time and the kitchen is very good. As for the staff he is young and very friendly. Maybe a little slow and more staff would be missing, but in the current times it’s understandable.

Fantastic experience:
Very nice place with terrace. Excellent and tasty cuisine. Friendly and caring staff!!

Fantastic experience: Very tasty!!!! Unreal. We recommend taking something for a snack while waiting for the main dishes. The portions are small, so if you want to eat very well, then order several dishes. Everything here is delicious, even the appetizers.
Fantastic experience:
Must book on weekends. The taste is great, the interior of the restaurant is very spacious with several dining areas, all decorated in style. The cooking is also very attentive. Praise!

Exquisite food, excellent treatment and spectacular views of the Besalu bridge. 100% recommended
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
It's the second time we've been and it hasn't failed at all. The first time we were in the panoramic room which is wonderful and, on the second occasion, in the room on the upper floor because it was a larger group. The menu is quite complete, perhaps I have missed dishes with more vegetables, but the choices we all made were very well resolved. In addition, for 28.50 euros the menu, the quality price was spectacular and, with some supplements, you could add other elaborations to the menu. The service was very attentive and friendly, a very charming and decisive young girl and boy.
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
Spectacular restaurant. Delicious and well-presented food. Weekend menu a little scarce for the price it has,
Excellent attention and treatment.
The downside comes from the speed of the service very, very slow. And it wasn't full.

Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience: Food is very good. Price is reasonable. I love little medieval arcs in the restaurant. It’s a pretty place to dine even in winter. I’m so glad they are open :) Highly recommend everyone visiting Besalú to come here! This is even better than the Michelin I had yesterday
Fantastic experience:
A magnificent restaurant. We will certainly repeat! Very attentive staff and excellent food!
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience: A beautiful terrace to enjoy while enjoying excellent food. It's worth the experience and I recommend making a reservation before going, as the terrace is the most popular. The seasonal menu costs around 28 euros, but there are no vegetarian/vegan options on the menu. It could be that you order, they can make a specific dish Super I recommend

Hello In November, we are looking for where to eat, it is raining ... and we escape from a restaurant with the average plato combinados to retrace our steps and enter the CURIA REIAL .... It is true at first glance the style pleases us more than the menu, the framework inside is a journey through time and in the plates a fantastic stroll for the taste buds ... to finalize the whole with a 5 star service from the professional Kiara, on the panoramic terrace overlooking the bridge… .. DO NOT LOOK ELSEWHERE AND ENJOY YOURSELF… !!!

Delighted!!! With 3 more than enough dishes, 1 to share and one each. Unbeatable treatment and superviews of the bridge. 10/10
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience: We had an unexpectedly fabulous lunch at this spot in 2019. Besalu made us feel sad for the history of oppression of its Jewish residents, as elsewhere in Spain and France, too. But lunch at Cúria Reial was delicious, elegant, and gracious. What a lovely restaurant! The folks here care about food and about their patrons. We were there on a weekday on October 23, 2019, and it felt and tasted as if this particular lunch mattered to the folks at this restaurant. We ate soup with artichokes, lamb stew, and chocolate mousse. Rustic and perfect. Still amazing to remember, a wonderful lunch just before COVID-19.
Fantastic experience:
The treatment and attention to the public of 10. It is no exaggeration, they always took care that nothing was missing, asked, without becoming burdensome or heavy, with politeness and kindness. Simply exceptional dishes, well cooked and prepared, a sublime presentation. A good wine list, which I, as the only appreciation, would expand with more references from the country, we are a land of wine !! Recommended x !!

Fantastic experience:
We were on vacation for a few days in Girona, and we went with some friends to eat there and it was a gastronomic experience, first the wonderful cannelloni, second it was, entrecote, breast, pellet and sirloin and the 4 dishes were 10, and we finished with 4 coulants with which we only emitted noises of the good ones that they were, the service was perfect and the attention was wonderful, we can not put any but. They know what they do !!!

Very attentive service and beautiful views of the Besalú bridge. But what’s really good is the food, especially the Pals rice - it’s exceptional. It is essential to taste it. Good chocolate coulant made on the spot (it takes about 10 ').
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
Great views of the exceptional Besalú bridge on the terrace. If you are lucky you can get a table outside and enjoy the outdoors, the views and the splendid menu. It is not cheap but the food and the place are worth it. The service is attentive and friendly.

Fantastic experience: There was a terrace seat where you can see the bridge well and it was very good. The atmosphere was good and clean and satisfied. Although it was only used at the cafe, the desserts were made carefully one by one and it was delicious. There was a sense of fulfillment. The answer was correct.
Fantastic experience: Faboulous gastronomy, friendly and helpful waiters and owners. The views are amazing! You must stop by!
Fantastic experience:
We ate very well with the weekend menu, which is 28 euros including bread and water. We enjoy from the starter to dessert. The kitchen is very good, with good product. It has a correct wine list and the waiter service is exquisite. Super recommended to eat in Besalú. Would come back

Fantastic experience: Good kitchen and fabulous view
Fantastic experience: Incredible Spanish haven in this charming jewish town. With breathtaking views from a non politicized side of the bridge and an impecable service, this restaurant oozes deliciousness!! Muy recomendable!!
Fantastic experience:
No doubt I tried it, because of the name of the desserts you want to taste it. I was right ... very rich The place was ideal to sit for dessert on a little terrace in the center under its trees that calmed the heat.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience: The mussels (special tapas of the day) in a mild tomato sauce with hints of spice and chopped nuts was absolutely stunning. The hummus (also special tapas of the day) was also fantastic, served with crisp and delicate crostini bread. The Spanish omelette with potatoes and the Anchovies with olive oil were prepared and served in the typical local way. And the fresh orange juice was amazing (no need to add sugar, no idea why a sugar packet is served) this juice is perfect all natural as it is. Price is of good value for this high quality food. Lovely restaurant setting. The service staff did a great job. The restaurant was highly recommended to us by my colleagues who work-travel in the area and after our lunch experience here, we recommend it highly as well.
Fantastic experience:
We ate on the terrace overlooking the bridge, the super attentive and friendly workers, the food very good, from the starters to the desserts including coffee. 100% recomanable || ⭐ ||

Fantastic experience: Perfect place for tapas (and we visited a lot of them in Catalunya). Amazing view on the bridge, nice music, thoughtful, smiling and kind waiters ( I didn't have to ask for more ice for the tasty sangria, she asked before I even thought about it).
