Can Ferreroles Nou Restaurant

What it is

A family restaurant opened in 1987 on the ground floor of an early 20th-century casa pairal (Catalan country manor), on the BV-1123 road from Castellbell i el Vilar to Marganell, at the foot of Montserrat. It is five minutes from exit 41 of the C-16 and very close to the Natural Hipic ranch, so it works well for lunch after a horse ride. There is easy parking, rooms for groups and, in summer, a terrace where children can play in peace.

What to eat

Seasonal Catalan market cooking, with the holm oak charcoal grill at its heart. On weekdays there is a €16 set menu with a choice of five starters and five main courses, plus dessert, a drink and bread: pasta, vegetables, pulses, soups, rice dishes, grilled meats and roasts. At weekends and on public holidays the à la carte menu takes over: salads, toasts, grilled vegetables and meats such as pig's trotters and pork cheeks, butifarra sausage, aged beef chop, rabbit or snails a la llauna, as well as grilled fish and several salt cod dishes.

From January to Easter they prepare a calçotada to order: unlimited calçots with their sauce, grilled lamb, butifarra sausages and pork belly, dessert, house wine and cava, for €40, for the whole table. They also sell home-cooked food to take away.

Opening hours

The website gives these hours: breakfasts from 9:00 to 12:00 and lunches from 13:00 to 16:00, Wednesday to Sunday, and dinner on Saturday from 20:30 to 23:00. On Mondays and Tuesdays that are not public holidays it is closed; if they are holidays, it opens at midday. It closes for holidays in the first half of September. Elsewhere the website also mentions dinners on Fridays, so if you want to have dinner, confirm by phone.
