"After leaving sant joan les fonts we headed for Besalú. our intention was to find somewhere to eat either on the way or in the same locality of Besalú. and we were lucky to stop at the repsol service station (pk. 64 of the N-260) when we entered the west of besalú, as the manager strongly recommended the olive restaurant at first we had our doubts, because the indotrial polygon in which we met (and in which the restaurant mentioned) was not frequented that day (it was Saturday). But the hunger squeezed and in the end we decided to try luck. and the truth is that our surprise was capital, as we hope to know the typical bar-restaurant of the indotrial polygon. and, although we have nothing against them, we had the intention to eat in a quieter place the restaurant of olive groves has a very careful atmosphere and a very large, diaphanous main room full of natural light. the menu contains basically traditional Catalan dishes, but presented more today. on Saturdays offer a menu at the price of 18 €, in which you can choose between 3 first, 3 seconds, 3 desserts, besides having included bread and wine. the price-value ratio of this menu is optimal, so we recommend first that we both opt for a canyon full of seafood, while second we choose the cod with greenish and garlic moeline on one side and chicken brooch with such rice on the other. We finished our agape with exceptional black chocolate cake, excellent colophon for a very good meal in a relaxed and quiet atmosphere the olive restaurant is part of the group of volcanic cuisine, formed by a set of restaurants that have consolidated a passionate cuisine based on the gastronomic uses that are rooted in the region. They believe in the need to represent, defend and promote the territory and its entire agri-food area, using in their kitchen the products cultivated, raised and elaborated in the region itself of the garrotxa and its environment to project a cuisine within the reach of all palates is a regional cuisine based on a traditional, creative and daring reciperium, which makes the culinary concerns and curiosities grow. to the wealth and variety of products, the group of volcanic cuisine defends its total integrity in the stoves and spreads its own culinary curiosities for more information, see its website: http cuinavolcanica.cat/esp/index.asp '"
