Portbou, Spain




From Michelin Guide
Situated right on the seafront, where it enjoys good views of Portbou’s bay and beach, this family-run restaurant providing attentive service has been renovated to offer a clear gourmet focus. The cuisine, in the hands of young chefs Guillem Gavilan and Pau Jamas (the former is in charge of all things savoury, the latter desserts), showcases enthusiasm, technical expertise and creativity, with a leitmotif based around seasonal ingredients and popular dishes that combine meat and fish/seafood (a good example is the Cap i Pota veal with Mediterranean red tuna). Here, everything revolves around two unique tasting menus (Petit Voramar and Gran Voramar), each based around an updated take on traditional cuisine, and both starting with an appetiser/tapas section called Vora (in tribute to the name by which the restaurant is better known locally). Guests can also request a choice of artisanal bread (rustic, with olives, cereals, sandwich, black bread etc) accompanied by premium olive oils.
