VII — Restaurant in Girona

On the most beautiful square in the old town of Girona, with the cathedral in the distance and a terrace under the plane trees, is a wine bar that looks simple at first glance but is one of the better addresses in Catalonia. VII belongs to the same family as El Celler de Can Roca, the three-star restaurant that was number one on the World's 50 Best for years. That heritage shows: the kitchen has the same dedication to local produce, and the wine list breathes the same love of the Empordà. But VII is fortunately no tourist spin-off: it feels like a neighbourhood bar for people who truly love food and wine. The classic dish that has been on the menu since day one: oxtail with fries, the Can Roca way.
