2 Best Restaurants in Beget, The Pyrenees

While many of the restaurants in Beget close for the off-season, Can Jeroni was serving locals well before the roads led visitors to its doors (think 20th century) and is open all year-round. The family-run establishment serves both traditional Catalan dishes, like stewed chicken with apricot and prunes, as well as creative riffs, seasonal soups, and an exceptional coca escalivada (roasted veggies, anchovies, and romesco on local bread). Enjoy lunch in a sunlit plaza in the center of town.

In this ivy-covered stone-and-mortar farmhouse perched over a deep gully in nearby Rocabruna, feast on carefully prepared local dishes like vedella amb crema de ceps (veal in wild mushroom sauce) and the Catalan classic oca amb peres (goose stewed with pears). In winter, spring for the civet de porc senglar (stewed wild boar) or any of the wild mushroom dishes.
