El Caliu

Cerdanya


Dishes at this well-respected town-centre restaurant star local ingredients; try the delectable duck confit, rich onion soup, Catalan-style coca d'escalivada (pizza-like pastry topped with smoky grilled veg) with goat's cheese, or pastís de bolets, a pasty stuffed with seasonal mushrooms.
