Fonda Pluvinet - Montella i Martinet

Espectacular! La comida buenísima , el arroz de muntanya brutal! Recomiendo

My kids and I stopped at this mom and pop restaurant a few days ago. We were greeted by the lovely hostess who made us feel at home, despite the Catalan/English language barrier. Here is what we ate: Escargot appetizer So many snails. Good stuff. Trout in an almond sauce Wow. Fantastic. A full, perfectly cooked fish in a lovely sauce. Crispy skin. Great. Chicken Catalan style Truly delicious. I'm not exactly sure what was in this (besides prunes), but it was exceptional. A dessert with honey and cheese Good way to finish the meal.

There were 5 of us and we ordered several items. They were all excellent! In particular the vegetable rice and the chicken cáñelo I with bechamel sauce and pine nuts and truffle! Super delicate and balanced tastes! Also the eggplant was remarcable! In all a very nice gastronomic experience enhanced by great and friendly service!

During one of our trips across Europe, we decided to grab the car and jump to Andorra for a quick visit. On our way we came across Montellà with its luxurious landscapes and decided to rest there for a while. We searched Trip Advisor and came across the Fonda Pluvinet restaurant, with what seemed a highly recommended ratio. And this started out bad, awful, those OMFG trip moments. I really don’t understand the reviews after going there. We were met by the employees there with a more or less friendly approach. At first didn’t sound uncommon, different languages, expressions, ways to behave. However, it made a huge difference when we started being treated differently from other paying customers. Things went down to worse when the order came out wrong, and even more when more guests came in. Reservation tables flew out the window, some were met with friendlier terms than others, met with pretension. So, in terms of personnel, failed miserably. Regarding the food, it was not bad, but I really have to say it’s not something I would call unusual. It certainly is not a gastronomic specialty that the restaurant intends to demonstrate and fails miserably to be. Price, well, it’s not bad, but it’s high for the quality of the meal. While roaming around a lot revisiting places, we certainly do not intend to go back and even prefer to travel a bit more for a better meal and better welcome.

Is a good restaurant, although the price is far above its real value. I put four stars on it because they had the kindness of feeding us still being late.
