In Catalonia we have a gastronomy of great quality, very present in the Mediterranean diet and characterized by the wide variety of traditional dishes that represent us. Some of them stand out for the combination of sea and mountain ingredients, which is known here as “mar i muntanya”.
At the Hotel Les Brases, we have a restaurant where you can enjoy many of the typical Catalan dishes, including exquisite grilled meat and fish.
7 typical dishes of Catalonia
Roasted Peppers Salad
It is a salad with roasted onion, tomato, peppers and aubergine accompanied by anchovies. In our restaurant we serve them with a toast, a very typical option also from the community.
Grilled longaniza or sausage
In Catalonia it is very common to cook sausages and sausages on the grill. Many people know them as sausages because of their appearance, only in this case they are much larger and it is not exactly the same product. The custom in some places is to take it accompanied by mongetes (or white beans).
Catalan salad with sausage
There is nothing more typical than sausage in this area. The Catalan salad is based on lettuce, tomato, spring onion and olives, but with the extraordinary addition of sausage from the land (assorted sausages or fuet). All this cut into very thin strips and seasoned to taste.
snails on the plain
They are the typical starter at family gatherings and the specialty in the province of Lérida. The dish is made with oven-roasted land snails, previously cooked and finally accompanied by a spicy sauce.
beef with mushrooms
One of the most typical meat dishes of Catalan cuisine. Its traditional recipe is with dry senderuelas, however it is also cooked with mushrooms in some homes, and the result is equally spectacular. It is one of the tastiest dishes, and at the same time healthy, since it is cooked with very little fat and a lot of water. 100% recommended!
Catalan cream
The famous and sweet cream dessert covered with a light layer of crunchy sugar. The dessert par excellence in Catalonia! Do you dare to try our restaurant?
cottage cheese and honey
This combination is not as well known nationally, however it is a very traditional dessert here, throughout the Catalan community. In the restaurant of our hotel you can taste it accompanied by nuts. It is the perfect way to sweeten the palate after a heavy meal.
In addition to cottage cheese with honey, in the restaurant of the Hotel Les Brases you can find all these Catalan dishes and many more. If your thing is to travel and soak up the cultures and traditions of your destinations, you are in the perfect place to start in Catalonia. We will wait for you!
