In short
The Roca brothers' three-MICHELIN-star tasting-menu restaurant on the western edge of Girona, one of Europe's most celebrated meals. Expect fine-dining prices and to plan almost a year ahead; it is closed on Sundays and Mondays.
El Celler de Can Roca is a three Michelin star tasting menu restaurant run by the Roca brothers at Carrer de Can Sunyer 48, on the western edge of Girona in Catalonia. It suits diners willing to plan almost a year ahead for one of the most celebrated meals in Europe. Joan Roca leads the kitchen, Josep Roca runs the wine and Jordi Roca makes the desserts. Girona is under 40 minutes from Barcelona by high speed train, and the restaurant is a short taxi ride from the station.
From Can Roca in 1986 to the current house
The brothers opened El Celler in 1986 beside their parents' family restaurant, Can Roca, and moved to a purpose-built house nearby in 2007. 2026 marks its 40th year. The World's 50 Best Restaurants named it the best in the world in 2013 and 2015, and it stayed in that list's top three for several years after. It holds three stars in the Michelin Guide Spain 2026.
The Festival tasting menu
The Festival Menu is the single tasting menu: appetisers revisiting the restaurant's best known creations, then 12 dishes and 4 desserts, served to the whole table. It lasts about three and a half hours. Drinks are extra, and Josep's wine pairing is the reason many guests come. The cooking is inventive but built on Catalan produce, with strong attention to local sourcing and the environment. Prices sit at the top of the Spanish market.
Can Roca, the parents' original restaurant
The original family restaurant still trades. Can Roca, the parents' place in Girona where the brothers grew up, serves a daily menu and takes bookings on +34 972 20 51 19, which makes it an affordable second meal on a Girona trip. Jordi Roca's ice cream and sweet shop, Rocambolesc, has branches in Girona, Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia and Houston. North of the city at Sant Julià de Ramis, Esperit Roca combines a restaurant, an exhibition space and a hotel, and the family also runs Hotel Casa Cacao in Girona and the Mas Marroch event estate in Vilablareix, where produce for the restaurant is grown.
