Manat
Michelin Bib Gourmand bistro run by a French-Japanese couple, serving sharing plates that combine Catalan ingredients with Japanese techniques.
A Michelin Bib Gourmand recommendation, hidden in an old stone house beside the Church of Saint-Jean-Baptiste, with an open kitchen and counter seating. French-Japanese couple Marc Meya and Yuka use ingredients and techniques from Catalonia and Japan for seasonal sharing plates, around ten each day: perilla and scallion fried chicken, locally caught bonito seared with leek and wild garlic, and black blood sausage gyoza, along with more than a dozen sakes. In Catalan, the name means “a handful”, referring to a food portion. The restaurant is often full, so book via the website or by phone. Dinner only, about €36–50 per person.
Opening hours
Dinner 19:00–22:00; open Mon and Thu–Sun, closed Tue and Wed (check the website)
