"We arrived without a reservation on a Saturday lunchtime in July. Once we saw the beautiful relaxed outdoor setting overlooking the mountains we fell in love with the place.Needless to say they were fully booked and initially said it was impossible to fit us in but then they very graciously and kindly said we could have a table outside. We are so glad that they did. The setting is sublime, in an old church with no signage outside to say it's a restaurant, surrounded by open countryside and mountains yet a very short drive from Besalu. There is no menu, the chef came out and described about 10 starters and suggested we choose 4 for the 3 of us to share. We then chose a main each from his description. The fish croquets with squid and squid ink were perfect, mussels were tender and tasty, goats cheese salad fresh and crisp. Paella was as it should be and caramelised round the edges, the grilled meat dish included rabbit, lamb and chicken and was succulent. Desserts including a cheesecake and a tartetartin were delicious. We had water, local craft beer and local wine and bread, all included in the reasonable fixed price. The chef, Joan Quadrant is skilled and passionate about the local produce he is cooking. The 2 packed dining rooms were testament to his skill , they were so very busy but he still took time to"
