Organic and local cuisine in La Garrotxa
At Hotel can Garay, when it comes to food, we take inspiration from our surrounding volcanic land and nature. We stay true to traditional Catalan dishes whilst adding a modern twist and using organic and locally sourced produce. Most of the vegetables and herbs we use come from our own organic vegetable garden, grown in fertile volcanic soil and tended lovingly by Lucas.
We follow the rhythm of the seasons, offering dishes that stay true to the flavours of the past, using fresh, high-quality ingredients.
Every day is different in Hotel can Garay, but they all start in the same way … with a healthy, varied and leisurely breakfast. We serve a large selection of fresh, homemade and local products, lovingly prepared and served in our cosy dining room.
While you wait to be served, you can help yourself to:
✔ A variety of cereal
✔ Fresh seasonal fruit
✔ Filtered water
Choose your type of breakfast:
In the summer and when the weather allows, breakfasts are served outdoors beneath the centenary lime trees in our Art Nouveau garden.
If a trip to the beautiful local waterfalls or along the Greenways beckons, we would be more than happy to wave you off with a mouthwatering picnic lunch.
Whatever the season your dining experience will be magical be it in front of a roaring log fire in winter or under a starlit sky in summer. We offer a la carte options with grilled meats and fresh salad and vegetables from our own eco kitchen garden and the local markets.
Our excellent high quality meat comes from our trusted local butcher in the Vall d’en Bas. We also offer a hand picked selection of local and national wines and liqueurs
Dinner is served at 8:30 p.m.
When the weather permits, we serve both breakfast and dinner in our delightful gardens under the dappled shade of our beautiful lime trees – tables can also be booked by non- guests (advanced bookings only).
From midday onwards, our beautiful garden becomes the perfect setting for a relaxed aperitif and a selection of homemade tapas.
On summer afternoons and sunny days, we also offer a daily dish prepared with fresh, seasonal ingredients.
Si és amant de la rebosteria, no pot marxar sense tastar els pastissos casolans de la Sophie, elaborats amb receptes tradicionals heretades del seu «Uncle Ernie», un mestre pastisser de Yorkshire.
Most of our vegetables and salad during the spring and summer months come straight from our own eco kitchen garden. They are grown right here in the hotel’s grounds in the fertile volcanic soil, thanks to the care and dedication of Lucas (fifth generation of the Garay family) who is passionately committed to the homegrown philosophy. What we cannot grow we source from local markets. We are proud to be able to offer our guests organic home-cooking with unbeatable fresh flavours.
