About Restaurante La Probocadora | Restaurante en Girona
A lunch or dinner at La Probocadora is one of those finds that makes Girona's old quarter worth exploring slowly. The paella and squid draw the most attention, and rightly so, with the tuna tartar and cannelloni close behind on any given day. The menú del día brings the same kitchen at a pace that suits a long midweek lunch. Recent visitors — locals especially — keep returning to the same point: the waitresses are genuinely warm, the kind of attentive that doesn't feel performed. The room sits in the Barri Vell, and the place has the feel of somewhere that takes Mediterranean cooking seriously without making a ceremony of it. Book, go back, and tell someone.
