BionBo — Restaurant in Girona

Had lunch here today.. Food was amazing. It's a chef's menu-style restaurant, the menu of the day depends on the freshest produce from the market that morning, so it's a bit of a surprise and constantly changes.

That being said, it was excellent. Full of flavour, not overly salty like some places, super fresh, and a beautiful combination of flavour and colour.

Starters: My rice noodles came with some purple cauliflower, shiitake mushrooms and a wonderful sauce that had a distinct Asian flavour. My partner had a very rich and delicious vegetable cream with leek, fennel, carrots and sweet potato.

Mains: I took the tuna, lightly seared, and topped with a vivid purple gravy made from purple carrot and parsley and a hint of coconut. My partner had chicken with basmati rice in a lovely curry-style gravy with a coconut cream base.

Desserts were also interesting, mascarpone cheese and applesauce for one, and a very refreshing key lime and raspberry sorbet for another.

Portions were good, we were full but not overly so. For 12.50€, it was amazing.

Service was excellent, they were very helpful and friendly.

Will definitely be back.

The space is cosy but doesn't fit many tables, so be sure to make a reservation so you're not...

Best meal and dining experience of my life as of yet. The dinner 7 course tasting menu is amazing value (36€), and each dish is magical: artfully crafted and masterfully made. It is obvious that much attention for detail and creativity went into each of their courses.

Very unique how it is a “surprise” tasting experience, where the chef comes and explains the dish after you have eaten it. I found myself eating mindfully and with curiosity while trying to identify all the ingredients that went into the dishes.

I usually try to reverse-engineer dishes while trying them to see how I can cook something similar at home, but here I was simply awestruck by the complexity, the sheer number of components to each dish, and all the ingredients involved.

I also loved how most of the dishes were vegetarian/plant focused; really showed just how flavourful food can be without meat.

It has a small interior dining area and feels like you are given more attention and care. They take into account any dietary restrictions as well.

I now dream about the unique amalgamation of flavours I had experienced here. I could continue raving about this place but I must calm down. This was truly a...

Com és el nostre costum, quan no coneixem, vam recórrer a les informacions de Tripadvisor, que, generalment, no ens defrauden. En aquesta ocasió, hem quedat plenament satisfets. Reservem a última hora i, ens van fer lloc per menjar, a la barra, sobre banquetes. El local és minimalista, un baix petit, però molt ben aprofitat. Comencem amb una decepció, doncs, fiats de la informació de Tripadvisor i de la pàgina web del local, teníem la intenció de gaudir del menú degustació; però, ens trobem que només podíem prendre el menú del dia i que el menú degustació, només el servien en sopars, de dijous a diumenges i tenien reservats per complet els següents 6 mesos. Això no s'adverteix al web del restaurant i l'hi vam fer notar al responsable, que va reconèixer aquest error i va manifestar prendre nota per corregir-ho. El menú és molt curt: dos primers, dos segons i quatre postres, per triar un de cada. Com érem dos, vam escollir els dos primers i els dos segons, que compartim. Ens va sorprendre, agradablement, la rapidesa. En menys d'1 hora, havíem menjat i molt bé. No sabríem dir com ens va agradar més, ni com es deien els platos.Pero, el més important és que, tant el sabor, com l'impacte visual i la textura del que menjat, ens van omplir de satisfacció. Repeteixo: Rico- Rico, sense arribar a donar sensació de sacietat, ni pesadesa d'estómac. Acompanyem el menjar amb un vi d'Alella, encertada recomanació. El personal de servei està dedicat al client, amb rapidesa i eficàcia. El responsable ens va prestar atenció personalitzada. Ens sentimo com si fóssim clients de sempre. No esperi trobar en aquest local un servei d'etiqueta, ni jocs de taula i vaixelles d'alt nivell. Tampoc és lloc per menjar un gran costella, peix, mariscada ... És un lloc on trobes creativitat, enginy, professionalitat, afecte, per aconseguir uns plats que, amb ingredients senzills (pensem nosaltres), aconsegueixen el miracle de satisfer les aspiracions del client. No és lloc per freqüentar diàriament, però, sí, per repetir...
