"Can Jubany is about 100 km North of BCN and is Nandu Jubany 's vanguard kitchen in search of serious perfection of the farm to table concept. We found Can Jubany worthy of the trip from BCN as the cuisine was ingredient driven, not involving alien flavors just for weirdness sake as has become the gastronomic trend of some gastronomic kitchens. Can Jubany embraces the farm to table model and ensures the high quality of his raw materials by actually growing most them in the small garden and farm that is across the parking lot from the restaurant. These raw materials, fresh from his actual farm next door, are then refined to an extraordinary level while maintaining their recognizable flavor in his glass enclosed kitchen. During our tour of the small farm, asparagus, tomatoes, beets, peas, herbs and calçots were in season and the chicken and other fowl were providing both eggs and meat for the various dishes. Can Jubany might best be described as a down to earthy masia restaurant where locals gather together to enjoy excellent Catalan food on weekends together. There is also an outdoor patio were dinners gather post dinning to enjoy more libations and a cigar or two. For us, our food entertainment was lunch that took place over a 4 hour period and was titled A Stroll Around Catalunya and included: Pork 's tribute Jubany sausage, cracking cheek port, andpork belly foam in an edible rice cone Vegetable garden included red beet, blue cheese and prune Pumpkin gnocchi parmesan cheese serum and Iberian ham Puffed pastry with foie gras, caramelized figs and a little salad Codfish brandada cannelloni, onions and honey Sautéed ceps mushrooms with pork belly and egg yoke Sea cucumber rice with langoustines broth Hake cooked iat slow temperature with pickled vegetables Roasted young lamb with potatoes puree, vegetables and mushrooms Desserts included seasonal vegetables dessert; dessert of citrus fruits and textures; The wine pairings were also well selected/matched to complement the tastes of each course(s), and included: Carles Andreu Trepat Rose (D.O. Cava); Sameiras 1040 (D.O Ribeiro); Venus La Universal (D.O. Montsant); Rasim vi pansit blanc (D.O. Costers del Segre) ; and Mas Llunes Garnatxa Solera (D.O. Emporda). The Mas Llunes and Rasim were clearly some of the best wine we have ever tasted. Not surprising as the Mas Llunes was awarded the Great Golden VINAR 2013 of all 700+ competing wines from Catalonia. Our only observation regarding the sommelier was that they were very knowledgeable but were always asking 'what kind of wine would you like to have with the next course . So overall, as we have noted in another of our gastronomic adventures, Can Jubany is currently a Michelin 1* restaurant that in our exploration was producing Michelin 2* cuisine. Clearly you know when you have had a fantastic gastronomic experience when you can remember the highlights (many of them) months later. Now, if we could only figure out how to get from Barcelona to Can Jubany easily vs an expensive cab ride each way or stay in a hotel near by for the evening."

"a very recommended restaurant in the center of the victim. after the diocesan moeo is this new establishment renovated and beautiful, still smells of fresh and new furniture very nice reception for a charming maitre, and a menu at noon that for 15 euros with included wine, offers very well presented and very round dishes is a risk for a Valencian to order a rice outside the community and this was nailed to congratulate the point, intuosity and flavor, it was necessary. As for the first and the desserts, very well done. a place to recommend and return, I called that morning to book the table, was very busy."

"I can say it's one of the best pizzas I've ever tasted. I'm a pizza lover, 4 cheeses mostly, and I've tried many places. And I dare say that the flame was one of the best. the place is very well, very well set, and the deal is very correct. Maybe the least I got was the subject of shifts, which if you have the first one, you might have to eat faster than you got. but in general lines, I recommend it a lot for any pizza lover. the best vic, that certainly!"

"Pasamos por casualidad y nos pudimos sentar en una mesa de la terraza a comer. El servicio fantástico, todo el personal muy amable y simpático. La comida genial, empezamos con dos estupendas gildas, después unos mejillones a la brasa, que estaban muy buenos. Una tortilla de bacalao que estaba espectacular, con mucho bacalao y un gusto exquisito. Unas minis hamburguesas con foie con una calidad increíble de la carne. Por último un postre genial que combinaba tocinillos de cielo, tiramisú y trufas. Para beber un vermut negro muy bien servido. Sin duda, volveremos a degustar más platos del Barmutet. Lástima que no estén en Barcelona para ir frecuentemente."

"This restaurant is one of the most valuable in the center of the victim. near the town square, it is a small and welcoming place. the combination of more traditional cuisine, with new trends, creates a letter that although not very varied, offers great quality. surprises even to eat from the menu, we will enjoy a good, abundant and very good food for the offered. eating à la carte the price will be much higher, although we can choose dishes that are certainly prepared, especially to highlight the meats. The thing that lets me fall is the horny thing that all the dishes and sauces are, it is a sensation that is not in too many places and that always gives an extra touch to the place. service is also quite fast and efficient. improving perhaps would be the variety of dishes, especially desserts, although I understand that too many dishes could affect the quality of the restaurant."
