What a quaint place to eat. The meat is absolutely delicious. I has ribeye steak which was cooked perfectly and melted in my mouth. My husband had lamb which he says was the best tasting and most tender he ever had. It's a nice ride out there and worth the trek over the dirt road. The monestary wasn't open when we were there, but apparently it is occasionally open. Allow time to walk around and enjoy the park.

Close to the monastery and in the middle of a fantastic scenery, A la brasa foos, very tasty with some nice rice dishes, with a thai twist like the rice with feet pig. Really good

Fantastic location to enjoy roasted Catalan sausage, mutton and steak. Home-made desserts are also available at competitive prices. Enjoy your meal outside and take in the impressive views of the Sant Quirze de Colera valley.
