LoRefugi Gastrobar

A gastrobar in a former wine cellar

LoRefugi GastroBar occupies the former wine cellar of the LoRefugi family house, on carrer Major in the centre of Cornudella de Montsant, the village from which you go up to Siurana. It is a cosy place for a chat, a group dinner or a quiet dinner on the way back from the wall or the route. In summer the terrace opens, for a vermouth or an afternoon drink. It is run by Montsant Natura, the same company that organises activities in the area.

What to order

The menu mixes traditional dishes of the county with newer ones and changes often: stews, roasts, soups and creams, rice dishes, pasta and lasagne, home-made pizzas, crepes, combination plates and tapas. It works with seasonal produce from small producers and, in summer, from its own vegetable garden, and since 2016 has held the AMED Mediterranean diet accreditation. There are vegetarian and vegan dishes, and the kitchen adapts dishes for allergies and intolerances. It also prepares food to take away.

The wines are all local, from the DOQ Priorat and the DO Montsant; the selection changes every month, they are served by the glass and they advise you on pairing.

When to go and how to book

It opens Thursday to Tuesday from 17:00; closed on Wednesdays. Book by phone only, on 977 821 313, during opening hours. For groups it prepares a tailor-made menu.

Getting there

It is in the centre of Cornudella, about an hour from Tarragona, Reus, Lleida or Barcelona. From here the road climbs to Siurana, and so does the old path on foot. In the village you can find the electric or mountain bike and the 4x4 tour among vineyards with a tasting.
