La Taverna d’el Foment
Lunch at this large, airy space near Plaça del Vi may be Girona’s biggest bargain. Much more than a restaurant, it is part of a cultural organization that proudly promotes Catalan history, language, and gastronomy, so it’s worth preparing a phrase or two if you can. The casual taverna offers a range of dishes and wines from the Países Catalanes, the wider region on Spain’s eastern coast and the Balearic Islands where versions of Catalan are spoken. The three-course menú migdia (lunch menu) costs just 18.50€ including bread and a drink (even the cola here is Catalan). Look out for local enthusiasts drinking wine straight from the porró, the traditional, narrow-spouted jug.
