The devotion to the local area is clearly evident here thanks to the focus on vegetables from Els Casals’ own farm, meat from animals reared in semi liberty, eggs from their own hens, a herd of Duroc breed pigs, and local wild mushrooms, truffles etc. Almost all of its ingredients are sourced from the family farm, as part of a philosophy to “close the circle”: ingredients are produced, cooked and then served on the premises.
The restaurant, which occupies an 18C farmhouse, reflects the work of five farmer brothers, one of whom, Oriol Rovira, is the chef. His à la carte features seasonal dishes, including game, and his famous Pularda poultry dish. Els Casals is a fine example of sustainability, with a philosophy centred on zero-miles ingredients. It also offers a few well-appointed guestrooms for those keen to stay longer.
Gastronomy & Sustainability
"On our farm we rear livestock and poultry, grow vegetables and produce our own cured meats and sausages. As a result, our cuisine aims to “close the circle” in terms of production, farm management and sales. We value the traceability of raw ingredients and also rely on the support of small local farms."
