“We have everything and more” is the motto of Cal Ferrer, in Borredà. And we are indeed before a restaurant which goes a little further than what we expect of a classic town bar and restaurant, with the typical served breakfast and more elaborate dishes made with local, natural produce. Cal Ferrer is also a supermarket, tobacconist, newsagents and they even have apartments to rent. As we were saying: everything and more.

Among the restaurant’s popular dishes there is shellfish, rice in broth with common lobster, paella and black, wild fish, as well as meat dishes from Galicia. Desserts include Santiago tart, crepes prepared in front of diners and tatin cake. All this is paired with a careful selection of wines.
