L’Alqueria

Girona


This smart, minimalist arroseria serves some of the city's finest arròs negre (rice cooked in cuttlefish ink), as well as around 20 other superbly executed rice dishes, including paellas and risotto, and fideuà (a paella-like fish and seafood noodle dish). Eat your heart out, Valencia! Book ahead for dinner. It also offers takeaway.
