Where to stay in Girona, for the food

Chef reads the best lists and what reviewers say, and tells you how far each hotel is from dinner.

‹ Every part of Girona

Barri Vell

The walled old town above the Onyar: cathedral steps, stone lanes and the Jewish quarter. Most of the best tables are within ten minutes on foot.

The food: Bar Normal and Normal on Plaça de l'Oli, Massana, Divinum, Dit i Fet, Cipresaia and Xuixo Can Castelló are all here, and Palau Fugit has its own restaurant and bars.
