Casa Sansa
Claims to date back to 1846, a classic spot in Perpignan's old town for Catalan home cooking.
One of Perpignan's oldest restaurants, tucked into the narrow streets of the old town near the Castillet gate and Place de la Loge. Tiled floors and vintage posters decorate the interior. In the 1970s and 80s it was a favourite of artists and celebrities, and there are also terrace seats. Signature dishes include prawns stewed with chicken, salt cod with aioli, seven-hour braised lamb, monkfish stew, tomato bread, Roussillon meatballs and Catalan crema. About €25–40 per person; book ahead on weekends. It can be crowded and noisy inside.
