Restaurant Reccapolis

The manor house on the Sant Joan road

Reccapolis opened on 6 January 1999 in a manor house on the outskirts of Ripoll, at carretera de Sant Joan, 68, next to Can Casals Espais Industrials. From the Monastery square it is about 2.5 km in the direction of Sant Joan de les Abadesses and Camprodon, on the right-hand side. The name recalls Reccapolis, the city that some authors associate with Visigothic Ripoll. It has several small dining rooms, a private one for 15 people, a room for groups of 40 and a garden where you eat when the weather is good. It appears in the 2026 Michelin Guide selection and among the Repsol Guide's recommended restaurants.

Ripollès veal and autumn game

The cooking has a Catalan base, is seasonal and uses local produce, with many slow-cooked dishes. The à la carte menu, VAT included, has a section of Ripollès veal: entrecôte with herb oil and a rancio reduction (€23), steak tartare (€25.50) or fillet with port and a foie gras escalope (€30). In autumn game comes in: wild boar stew with saffron milk caps, figs and pomegranate (€20), roe deer shoulder stuffed with llonganisseta (€20), partridge in escabeche or à la Alcántara (€25) and venison coulant (€24). Among the starters, wild boar cannelloni, fabada with compango or mushroom pie with porcini cream (€15 to €18), and two rice dishes, one with squid and prawn and one mountain-style with pigeon and trumpet mushrooms (€23 and €23.50). Desserts cost €7.50; among them, the xuixo from Can Castelló with cream and custard.

Menu of the day and tasting menu

The menu of the day costs €33, VAT included, with the tapa of the day, a first course, a main course and a dessert to choose from; the one on 13 November 2026 included fabada, Ripollès entrecôte, stuffed roe deer shoulder or corvina al pil pil. The tasting menu, at €53 and for the whole table, strings together nine courses, from poultry consommé with truffle to corvina and roe deer. On both, the sourdough bread is charged separately, at €2.50.

Lunch only, Thursday to Monday

Reccapolis only serves lunch: the kitchen is open from 13:00 to 15:15 and the dining room until 17:00, Thursday to Monday. On Tuesday and Wednesday it is closed for its day off; for public holidays, check its booking calendar. You book on the website, on 972 70 21 06 or by WhatsApp; for the same day, from 12:00, by phone only. If the car park next door is full, the website points to another about a hundred metres away on foot.

It fits with the monasteries

It is on the road to the monastery of Sant Joan de les Abadesses, so it works as a lunch stop between that one and Santa Maria de Ripoll. The plan Sunday in the Ripollès: two Romanesque monasteries and the greenway stops here at midday.
