Fantastic experience: It is an essential restaurant, which offers local craft beer in its beverage menu. Their letter offers you the possibility of tasting author tapas. Flavors, textures, aromas ... both you ask sweet and salty. You will always get right! The raw material is of high quality and the treatment of the exceptional product. It is very worthwhile to go there if you enjoy good cooking and good drink. I would say it is worth coming to Banyoles to taste the kitchen of Marta. If you are reading this, do not think much and reserve already!

Fantastic experience: I went several times before the pandemic - the service was very friendly and willing. The enclosure, although small, was well decorated and attentive to detail (and very clean bathrooms). The menu was extensive, with adequate and delicious servings, pleasantly presented. You could tell they did it with affection. I highlight the curried lentils, porcini cannelloni, prawn tempura ... well, I liked everything I ate. I have not been able to repeat after the pandemic, but it is to be assumed that the quality and the effort persist, so it is highly recommended.

Charo Vivas 04/05/2019

Fantastic experience: Al Born is a restaurant with a great offer. They work so well that they have had to expand the premises And now they are two spaces. I'll just talk about the first one, the little one. I went to lunch with my partner as we met the cook, Marta Rever. The place is very cozy, a room with restored vaults, quite simple to decorate but with details. We saw that they offered breakfasts, the daily menu and dinners a few days a week. The menu is very good. You have limited options but you always find one for vegetarian lovers. The dishes taste and carry herbs and fruits that promote aromas. They are very well presented, and the cooking is very fast. They have a very well selected wine list and offer good wine by the glass. The menu price is very correct. In short, if you go to Banyoles look for it, it is very central, you will leave satisfied.
