Restaurant Solana del Ter

A roadside classic since 1965

The Solana del Ter restaurant has been feeding people since 1965 on the way out of Ripoll on the C-17, at kilometre 92.5, in the same complex as the hotel, the campsite and the sports courts. It is a practical place: spacious, with parking and easy to find if you are coming by car from Vic or heading to Ribes and Núria.

What to order

Catalan market and seasonal cooking, built around Ripollès produce. There is a menu of the day and an à la carte menu, which the house publishes for download on its website, and in the bar, tapas and raciones made with the house's own produce to eat at the counter. The website gives no prices or menu days on the restaurant page: look at the downloadable menu before you go or ask when you book. With children or a large group it is one of the easiest options in Ripoll.

The dining rooms

The complex spreads its service over several rooms, which is why it works well for groups and celebrations:

• Conde Arnau dining room: the everyday one, for lunches and dinners, with set menu and à la carte.
• Bernat Tallaferro room: a lounge with a fireplace, café, reading room and games room, also used for events.
• CEU dining room and Sant Eudald lounge: for small parties, family or company meals and presentations.
• Comte Guifré room: the big, bright one, for celebrations and meetings.

If you are in a group, say so when you book so they can assign you a room.

When it fits

After the Ferro i Carbó greenway, which leaves from Ripoll station towards Sant Joan de les Abadesses, or before going up on the Núria rack railway from Ribes de Freser. Also if you have spent the morning at the monastery of Santa Maria and would rather eat without looking for parking in the centre.

In summer, hotel guests have a swimming pool, and the campsite is open from March to November: if you are staying there, dinner is sorted in the same complex.

Hours and bookings

The website does not publish the restaurant's opening hours or closing days. Book on 972 70 10 62 or through the booking form on its website, and confirm that they are open that day, especially out of season.
