Xocolateria L'Antiga

L'Antiga is a traditional style xocolateria and café in the heart of Girona. They serve rich, thick hot chocolate in the best Spanish tradition, but rather than pairing it with churros, the Catalans opt for 'melindros' (ladyfingers), light and delicate dry sponge cakes.

L’Arc

L’Arc sits at the foot of the steps that lead to the imposing cathedral, and has for 50 years provided a first-row seat to the city's most iconic structure. It is especially popular among students, artists and tourists, and is thus always lively. Try the ratafia, a drink made from 80 herbs, best served over ice.

Café Royal

If you can put up with occasionally sub-par service, Café Royal is one of the liveliest and most stylish café-bars in Girona, right on the Plaça de la Independència. The shaded portico is a great place to relax during the day and an excellent starting point for a night out. Restore your strength with a café bombó or cool down with an Aperol Spritz!

Cafeteria El Pessic

El Pessic has a wide selection of quick snacks and light meals, including typical options like empanadas and coques, but the real draw is the heaps of seductive pastries (both sweet and savoury) and baked goods that line the windows and tempt passers-by into popping in.

Originem

Originem is a specialty coffee shop and brunch spot in central Girona, celebrated for its commitment to local producers and zero-waste ethos.

With no reservations and a relaxed vibe, it’s a perfect pause for conscious travellers.
