l’Horta Restaurant Tavertet

We were on a Sunday day trip from Barcelona on our way to visit the scenic cliffs around the Sau artificial lake, and we have been attracted to this restaurant that looked more sophisticated than the average countryside place.
They offer 2 menus, one around 80 and one around 40 euro. We went for the less costly also because we were planning to go for a stroll afterwards. We made clear that one of us is vegan and the chef offered to adjust some of the courses accordingly. This made this meal one of the best vegan restaurant meals we ever had.
All courses were interesting, well executed, well presented, on a right balance between high-end cuisine and a rustic fare with local products. After an interesting amuse bouche – pickled green bean, we enjoyed a couple of entrees – with a remarkable “2 preparations” celery. The first course was a raw cabbage salad, available with egg or not according to choice. The meat main was duck breast, while the vegan alternative was a topinambur salad with fried artichokes slices. The dessert on the menu was a revisited Catalan cream while the vegan option was an orange with a savory emulsion. We loved the rustic bread served on a side.
The decor is minimalistic yet with a countryside twist. The restaurant also has a dehors with a nice afternoon light orientation. Service was attentive and genuinely kind.

Overall a very good address that checks a lot of boxes and offers an interesting cuisine in an elegant yet laid back atmosphere that fits perfectly the scenic nice country town.

Definitely worth the drive from Barcelona 👍🏽👏🏽

Amazing experience and Jordi does everything himself, impressive! The food was just perfect, so pure, such great ingredients. Wow! Don’t miss this gem!

The food here is amazing! Truly, we didn't expect this at all, came for a day trip and casually stopped at this restaurant! 10/10
We live in Barcelona for 4 years now, honestly there is nothing similar to this restaurant in the whole city of Barcelona.

Best new restaurant that we’ve been to in Catalunya for some time. The owner really cares about the product and expresses this in the quality of the locally sourced ingredients (the bread was amazing and solid local wine list!) and creatively prepared meals (we ordered the menu). Good value for money, too. Our highest recommendation!!!

Stumbling into this restaurant was one of the best experiences of our vacation. The manager spoke English well and went out of his way to feed us even though it was late afternoon (when we Americans are hungry!) The salad was a delightful combination of colorful ingredients and the wine was reasonably priced. It is an adventure driving the road to this town, but was it ever worth it, in many regards!

My fav dessert, with elder flower.

We stumbled upon this little gem while staying in nearby L'Avenc. Had to come back again as the food is exceptionally good, well presented, innovative, inventive with carefullly selected, local, fresh produce. The chef and owner is very talented. We highly recommend it!

One of the best meals in Catalunya!
I highly recommend this restaurant!
Fresh, local products to create one of the best tasty experiences!
We were lucky to find this place!

Exceeded my expectations. Staff were friendly and attentive. Food was original and lovingly made. Worth the trip on its own right.

Incredible place. So testy dishes, amazing service!

Worth the visit. Not only the village is amazingly beautiful, but this place is so good that the only problem is that as you eat you lose the appetite....

Fantastic dinner, the chef is simply genial ! The food is light and genuine .

Perfect dishes, impeccable service, wonderful atmosphere, true passion, care and attention. Highly highly recommended

Really delicious dishes, quite often with a slight Japanese twist

Awesome food! Great attitude!

Tastee and good food

Excel·lent

M'havien parlat molt bé d'aquest restaurant. Si voleu descobrir nous sabors, noves textures....no us perdeu i aneu amb la ment molt oberta. Hem disfrutat molt i els servei molt atent. Impecable. Hi tornarem aviat segur. Si esteu per la zona no us podeu perdre. Mereixedors d'una michelin...

Cal entendre una cosa abans d'anar al restaurant l'Horta de Tavertet i es que són pràcticament autosuficients amb el producte, això significa que són molt estrictes amb la temporalitat del producte. Actualment ofereixen únicament un menú degustació, val la pena deixar-se sorprendre.
