Arros I Peix

My brother & I stumbled upon this amazing restaurant while wandering through the old town looking for somewhere for dinner. We were warmly welcomed by the extremely friendly & helpful staff (who spoke excellent English) & given a comprehensive explanation of how the restaurant worked-​you pick your seafood from the fresh seafood display at the entrance & choose how it is cooked & with which accompaniments. My brother & I selected some cockles & artichokes for entrée & then squid ink rice & noodles with various seafood for main. It was all so delicious & the wine we selected from the strong wine list matched very well. Service was extremely attentive & efficient despite the restaurant being extremely busy! I would highly recommend that visitors to Girona make a trip to this restaurant!

Gran restaurante! Un concepto novedoso de mercado fresco y restaurante. El personal se encarga de aconsejarte qué elegir. Tienen pescado fresco que te pesan y cocinan al gusto. Todo de máxima calidad y a buen precio.

Wonderful restaurant!!! I wish I could give 10 stars. I came on a two week trip of Spain and this was the best meal we had!
We came to the restaurant and were given two glasses of champagne then directed to a beautiful assortment of fish and seafood on ice. The staff were very friendly and helped us choose a great meal. We had Tuna tartar (incredible!) sea bream and rice with calamari and clams.
Would want to come here every week if I were local— we’ll be back next time for sure!

A superb meal. Even though it was on ice, the fish was still swimming! You choose your food, they cook it as you wish with happy suggestions if you’d like. The wine was excellent and more than reasonable. Service was professional and congenial. Best meal in Girona. I’d mark it a must visit the next time I return.

This was a wonderful restaurant, that has a really fun take on seafood. At the front of the restaurant they had three blackboards with all the dishes on them. You could choose one of those dishes or select some of the fresh seafood laid out on the ice. They’d weight the seafood for you and you could say how much you wanted or not. Then you paid and were seated. It was a really nice and modern restaurant. Very friendly service and delicious!
I wished we could have eaten there twice.

Arron I Peix should be on your must-​eat-​at list for Girona.
My wife and I were wandering the idyllic historic streets of Girona and happened upon Arros I Peix and our mouths dropped… ok, our mouths dropped AND watered. At first, one might think she or he was passing a fish shop, as you see the fresh seafood displayed on ice in the window by the till. But then… you see tables where customers are eating freshly cooked seafood that has been caught locally.
When you walk in the door you have the option of choosing any seafood (as displayed on the ice) to be cooked and then served at your table. Regrettably, and possibly tragically, we decided to pass on this when we came, thinking we would try the place out again the next day (it was closed at the time we wanted to eat the next day).
As the restaurant has the word ‘rice’ in the name we were both inclined to have paella, and were by no means disappointed. It is definitely some of the best in Girona. My wife had the rabbit paella and I had a cod paella. I couldn’t recommend it enough. It was really good.
One of the bonuses of this restaurant is that they serve wine by the bottle at very good prices. The table next to us— the one with the phenomenally scrumptious looking fresh seafood— had ordered a bottle for only € 6 or 7. I had expected it to cost that much for a glass.
We came back the next day to try some of the fresh grilled seafood, but it was closed. As with many places in Catalunya, Arros I Peix is closed between about 4pm and 8pm. This is typical, albeit a slight challenge for our American eating habits. But the hours or worth noting when looking to eat here (or anywhere in Girona for that matter).
