“ Food and service was good, really nice views. The bathrooms had no toilet paper or soap which I believe is not acceptable for a restaurant at such a central touristic area. ”
“ To be honest, it's not the best pizza.. but generally speaking, there's no good pizza in Spain although it's so close to Italy.. Pizza was ok but the spicy olive oil was so good so I had to purchase one for my souvenir (7 euros) ;) ”
“ We had a wonderful lunch that followed the Catalonian tradition, usually taken between 2-4 pm by locals. It was a much-needed break after a long stroll through the medieval city of Gerona. All the food served was delicious, but the Lasagna was exceptional. It was different from what we usually have in the USA, with a wider range of cheese combinations and a richer flavor. Our server was great, and the restaurant was a perfect spot to rest, with its windows facing the river providing a lovely view. ”
“ Fantastic spot if you're in Girona and looking for lunch/dinner. Sitting right on the river you can get views of the water while being within walking distance of the two cathedrals. The owner/manager and our server were both extremely friendly and quick. Sangria was perfectly balanced, the smoked pizza was great, light and fluffy, but the croquettes really knocked my socks off. Aubergine and goat cheese as well as oxtail are the two flavors I would really recommend. ”

El Raco Girona. Pizzeria Mediterrania
Welcome to El Raco Girona. Pizzeria Mediterrania, a gem nestled in the heart of Girona at Pl. de la Independencia. This pizzeria transcends the typical dining experience, embodying the essence of Catalonian tradition with its welcoming atmosphere and delightful Mediterranean cuisine.
Stepping into El Raco feels like being invited into a local's home. The restaurant offers stunning views of the river, making it the perfect place for a much-needed respite after exploring the medieval beauty of Girona. Patrons can enjoy delectable dishes while soaking in the picturesque surroundings, a combination that is simply undeniable.
Among the dishes that caught my attention, the lasagna stood out as a culinary highlight. As noted by customer Patrick Min, this variant diverges beautifully from the typical American fare, featuring a rich and diverse range of cheeses that tantalize the palate. The layers of flavor presented in this dish are a testament to the restaurant's commitment to quality, elevating a classic into an elevated dining experience.
Fans of lighter fare will also appreciate the smoked pizza, which Anish Roy described as light and fluffy. The balance in their sangria is just right, making it the perfect accompaniment to a meal that includes their awe-inspiring croquettes. With tantalizing flavors like aubergine paired with goat cheese and oxtail, these croquettes make for an unforgettable experience that will leave guests raving.
Notably, it’s essential to come with expectations aligned with the local dining scene, as portrayed by Cristina Jeong. While the pizza may not rival Italian standards, it provides a satisfying option, especially when paired with their exquisite spicy olive oil, making it worthwhile to take home as a treasured souvenir.
However, it's important to note that some areas may need improvement; a few guests have raised concerns regarding restroom facilities, which is something the management might want to address considering the restaurant's prime tourist location.
In summary, El Raco Girona. Pizzeria Mediterrania invites you to savor the flavors of the Mediterranean while enjoying the scenic beauty of Girona. With captivating dishes and a heartfelt atmosphere, it stands as a must-visit spot for anyone looking to indulge in the local gastronomic delights.
