Fantastic experience: This is the hidden gem you are looking for in Girona. In the heart of the old town, this is the best dining experience we have had in Girona. The owner seriously knows good food and wine. He made some excellent recommendations of both, and the service was perfect. A brilliant menu complemented by daily specials and a vast selection of wines. Very reasonably priced dishes that will not disappoint. Definitely going back!
Fantastic experience:
Spectacular site, highly recommended. I called to see if they had a place and they saved us a table, when we arrived it was full. A menu that is not very extensive but of high quality, which is appreciated, the waiter was super friendly and knew how to advise us on what to order. We ordered the octopus timbale and it was great, I had never tried it like this, it had a touch of dried tomato that enhanced the flavor, it is true that the octopus was not so juicy and it was a bit hard. The ravioli were spectacular, accompanied by the puree with basil oil that was incredible, a 10 in flavor. The last dish that I don't have a photo of is the Duck Magret, which was perfectly knitted and with the part of the fat "crunchi" the knife scratched as it passed Out of 10, thank you very much for doing things well. By the way, a super extensive wine list that if you go with time and not on the way, super recommended.

Fantastic experience: Small place with spectacular food and great wine. Plates are on the small side but priced very well so have a few dishes; great place to share some starters. Service is great (and multilingual), and the place feels both fancy enough for a special night out yet friendly enough to go back again and again. Price:quality ratio is very high.

Fantastic experience: The best lamb-shoulder in a long time and after France, Switzerland and Austria finally a fair and reasonable price. The veal steak was a dream -what else ca I say! The appetizers and the deserts were also of star-level. The service matched the performance of the kitchen: Friendly, fast and professional. Ask the waiter for a suitable wine for the meal and you’ll know what I mean.

Excellent experience in this small restaurant. Although I wrote the review in July 2020 (I was this week), I have known and visited the restaurant since about 2008. Sporadic visits, since I rarely visit Girona, but without a doubt being in the city is synonymous with visiting the Vintages. The owners are very friendly and will explain both the usual menu and the specific dishes based on the raw materials that were on the market that day. I honestly really enjoy it.

Fantastic experience:
Great restaurant in Girona, the "Vintages". Cozy atmosphere, the boss speaks French, no children's menu, announced upon our arrival, but no matter my 5-year-old twins feasted on pork trotters stuffed with duck confit (admittedly a bit generous for their age) and the '8 year old elder of a duck breast Special ice cream for children when it is not a la carte. 95 € for 5 (5 dishes + 5 desserts, including 3 ice cream) with 2 glasses of wine and 1 bottle of water, really very good value for money. If you have any adventures in the area, I highly recommend
Translated from French
Fantastic experience: Really nice restaurant, both the food and the service was excellent, I recommend it. We tried the entrecôte, Magret de canard and the pulpo and it was all excellent they also have an extensive wine selection.

Fantastic experience:
A great taste experience It was all delicious. We went to dinner with my partner and we let ourselves be advised by the chef. We tried two dishes from the menu and two of the dishes he offered outside of the menu. In both cases we hit. The pickled bonito salad is amazing and the flavors of the salad of figs, anchovies and buffalo ... I think they will stay in my memory for a while. And the second ones did not disappoint either, pork feet stuffed with duck confit and tuna sashimi, this was accompanied by wuasabi ice cream and ginger. Simply awesome Great homemade desserts. And finally, I want to emphasize that before visiting this restaurant I was reading previous reviews and I must say that I do not understand the criticisms that have been made about the owner of this place. At all times we had good service, attentive and friendly. I sincerely hope to return soon, discover new dishes and enjoy its great wine list.

Fantastic experience:
A cozy restaurant with an impressive selection of wines and not only Spanish. In addition to the main menu, the chef offers delicious dishes of the day. We tried the entrecote (from the main menu) and the rabbit fillet with grapes and appetizer - slicing beef a la carpaccio with arugula and cheese (these were the dishes of the day). The cuisine is delicious, delicate and rich tastes, we really liked it. Service is also on top. Recommended for a romantic dinner!

Fantastic experience: Possibly my favourite restaurant in Girona, I won't break down all of the courses I've had, but I'll just say I've never had anything at Vintages that disappointed. Highly recommended if you don't want to waste an evening in Girona to a sub-par experience! :-)
Fantastic experience: A great meal with friendly service. All the food was expertly prepared and had tons of flavor. Don’t miss out on the tuna in escabeche salad!
Fantastic experience: Good quality, french kitchen style, amazing wines and wishkies selection
Fantastic experience: Excellent place!

Fantastic experience: Excellent food in a great location. We enjoyed everything especialy the fig salad ,the vegeterin lazania and the duck.the surprise came in the end , an almond cake with coffe ice cream WOW.
Fantastic experience: Excellent meal with fabulous food, wine and service
Fantastic experience: Excellent: 150+ wines, plus there are lots of types of whiskey and gin to choose from. The menu is perfectly balanced and portions are aligned with price. We had a fig salad to share and duck breast and vegetable lasagne as mains. Almond cake and chocolate cake as desserts. All the meals were great portions and very enjoyable. It's not a big restaurant, but the atmosphere makes it great, as do the polite and correct staff. Very recommended: maybe make reservations in vacation season.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic food, lovely service. Best fresh mozzarella salad we’ve ever had - had the most beautiful fresh figs.
Fantastic experience: Great fresh food for an honest price. If I would live in Girona, it would be one of the places I'd visit very regularly. Thumbs up!
Fantastic experience:
Fantastic Restaurant, my favorite of Girona. Excellent food, and excellent wines, let yourself be recommended by Ramon, owner chef i waiter. I am a regular customer, i always enjoy. My recommendation for 2, are 3 or 4 dishes to share (depends on the strength of each dish) and do not forget the desserts.

Fantastic experience: On a recommendation, I took my wife to Vintages for her birthday. The food was delicious and the head waiter (owner?) helped us select some great local wine that was even a few euro less than our original choice. The value was excellent for the quality of food (78 euro for main and dessert + wine) and they are "english" friendly. Not a silver service restaurant, but good honest value. Would definitely return to try their other offerings. Recommended
Fantastic experience: Favorite place in Girona - This is such a nice little restaurant. The environment is great, service is fantastic... and the food, gold medal! All the ingredients are super fresh and of the best quality. We shared a couple of dishes (burrata salad, octopus, pork feet with duck and the Girona beef) - all of them were absolutely brilliant! We can’t wait to be back!
Fantastic experience: Great food, excellent wines, jazz music and delicious desserts. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience:
You walk through a beautiful, beautiful city, like Girona and you are looking for something just as special. To eat and find it ... charming treatment, simple menu but of those that when you have it in front of you do not know what dish to take ... exquisite and accompanied of an earth wine! If it weren't because we had a table of those nearby where one of the guests gives a master lesson to the rest of the dining room of his work ... I would have stayed at desserts! Congratulations very highly recommended ...
