Las Magnolias: the gastronomic jewel of Arbúcies

How lucky we are to have great restaurants scattered throughout Catalonia. Perhaps we don't realize how lucky we are, but you only have to leave your home a little to see that few places in the world have what we have: an extraordinary product and a culinary talent that draws people from all over the world to see how we work. Because the Catalan ecosystem isn't just two or three restaurants; it's many, in very diverse locations. Like the gastronomic gem we'll talk about today. It's located in Arbúcies and is called The Magnolias.

At Las Magnolias, we can highlight the wonderful and natural generational change. At the helm, we now find Neus Fradera. A truly worthy head waiter and daughter of Isidre and Roser, who started this adventure in 1996. Her husband is chef Víctor Torres, who not only keeps Las Magnolias' Michelin star polished, but has also earned another. by the Barcelona restaurant Quirat.

They offer a menu of precision and a focus on local produce. Here you'll find haute Catalan cuisine, but there's also a nod to French cuisine, thanks to Torres's excellent training and the fact that they have a fantastic chef like Arnaud Polvé on the team. The wine cellar is extraordinary; they make it difficult to choose the wine. And the space, which was recently renovated, is modern and elegant. The building is a tower that makes you feel aristocratic, and stepping out into the garden for coffee is a luxury. Oh, and they have a highly sought-after catering service because they cook everything from scratch. Las Magnolias is a guarantee of quality.
