Mimolet Restaurant
Perfectly located close to the cathedral, mid-range Mimolet is a good example of how Girona’s high-end food scene has pushed up standards across the board. It would be a mistake to go à la carte here, as the two set menus on offer—and the wine pairing—are a steal. The five-course option lets you choose two starters, two mains, and dessert from a lengthy list, while the nine-plate Food Party includes a vermouth to whet your appetite. There’s a distinct Asian flavor fused with the Mediterranean classics—kimchi and tataki rub shoulders with confit salt cod and magret duck—and the carpaccio blade sees action with meat, fish, and dessert. Whatever you choose, don’t miss the liqueur-soaked pear carpaccio with lemon and jasmine tea sorbet.
Carrer Pou Rodó, 12. mimolet.cat. 📞 97-229-79-73. Entrees 20€–28€, set menu 62€, tasting menu 82€, wine pairing 20€.
