Our culinary philosophy
Ethical Mediterranean cuisine
Close to the sea, close to the source
Our gastronomy originates from the Mediterranean and from a way of looking at the territory with respect: allowing what the land and the sea offer us to be the foundation of our dishes. At Bistró del Mar, the table is enjoyed with awareness, through the senses.
Restaurant
The main restaurant of Hostal Empúries: a table open to the sea, with seasonal cuisine, its own kitchen garden and a meticulous selection of local products.
Open daily from 1 to 3:30 pm for lunch and from 8 to 10:30 pm for dinner. Breakfast buffet from 8 to 11 am, also open to non-residents.
The restaurant spaces
Sala Bistró del Mar
Spacious dining room, bright and airy, where breakfast awaits you, one of the best moments of the day. Also open for lunch and dinner.
Sala Villa Teresita
Large windows with sea views and light that changes throughout the day. It is named after Villa Teresita, the house where the hotel began in 1907. An elegant lounge, ideal for celebrations.
The Terrace
Open from spring to autumn, completely outdoors, serving lunch and dinner. In winter, you can enjoy the bar.
Our Xeixa Bread
Heritage flour and bread baked just a few kilometers from the hotel
Xeixa is a traditional Mediterranean wheat, almost forgotten during the 20th century, when the fields were filled with more productive varieties. We have recovered it and today it is being grown again.
At Bistró del Mar we serve bread made with this flour, baked in Fleca de Jordi in Palau Sator. The bread bears the CCPAE seal, the Catalan Council for Ecological Agricultural Production, which guarantees organic production, without pesticides or synthetic fertilizers and with periodic controls.
The hotel also has its own certified vegetable gardens and crops.
Thermopolium
In the ancient Greco-Roman world, a thermopolium was “a place where something hot is sold”: an establishment serving ready-to-eat food.
At Hostal Empúries, we are reviving this tradition. Wednesday to Sunday, from 1 to 5 pm, Thermopolium invites you to discover Greco-Roman cuisine through contemporary techniques and today's produce.
