Searched Google for restaurants around Montserrat and found this highly rated gem. It's a 3 km drive down a windy mountain road off the main road to Montserrat. The lovely host accommodated us at the last table they had as they were fully booked on a busy Sunday.
The set menu of 1st, 2nd course plus dessert, wine and coffee was €21.00 (€10.00 on a weekday). They also had an a la carte menu and a children's menu which was very substantial: cannelloni, sausages and roasted potatoes plus dessert for €10.00. We chose the calcots menu which was €31.50 per person (all adults at the table had to have the calcots menu unless ordering from the children's menu).
Calcots are similar to small, mild leeks and are the specialty of this region. They are grilled on hot coals until they are burnt on the outside and wrapped in newspaper. You're given a sauce to dip them in and you can eat as many as you like. The combination of the sauce and the abundance of calcots is very filling. We were also given toasted bread, tomatoes and aioli to start which was very garlicky and highly addictive.
The second course consisted of grilled sausages including black pudding, lamb, thick bacon, artichokes, haricot beans and roast potatoes. We had a bottle of wine, water, dessert and coffee as well. All of it was delicious. We even took home a doggy bag as we were so full from eating the calcots that we struggled through the second course. I definitely recommend this rustic restaurant on an empty stomach. Just be sure to book (preferrably in Spanish) especially...

Molt molt molt molt molt molt bo. Feia molt i molt de temps que no menjaba tant i tan bé. Calçots i salsa com ha de ser, a reventar. Uns de grans altres de més petits, genial! L'hort no entén de mides. Brasats al punt. Vi de la casa un luxe, dolç bò i autèntic. L'atenció eficaç en la seva màxima expressió, servei directe ràpid i hiper eficient. A una calçotada mai m'importen els segons, però val la pena dexar-hi un espaiet. Botifarra blanca molt bona, el xai tendre al punt i espectacular. Buti negre i cansalada. Per si queda espai, acompanyat amb mongetes seques, unes patates fregides EXCEL•LENTS i una carxofa a la brasa per plorar del gust. De tot cor. Pà ben torrat i allioli del bò!!! Postres a l'alçada, matò clarament cassolà i una crema catalana digne d'homenatge, probablement la millor que mai hagi tastat. Local amb personalitat, amb un accés i entorn privilegiat cobert pel montserrat. Aire i vistes de categoria. L'interior és tal qual esperes en una masia típica, sense pretensions, autèntic i amb el caliu dels anys. Menjador clàssic, ampli i amb molta videta. Comprensible calgui reservar. Per acabar pots sortir a disfrutar les vistes amb un fantàstix xarrup digestiu de ratafia de convit. En resum, quan es combinen bon producte, autenticitat, bona brassa i una ubicació sublim, el bon ápat és assegurat. Pots esperar moltíssim de la nostra meravellosa gastronomia en la seva màxima esplendor, tot i així, el casot va superar àmpliament les meves expectatives. Ens tornarem a veure aviat. Súper recomanable.
Moltes gracies de part d'un amant del menjar bé!!!
PD: he estado viendo algunos de los comentarios peor valorados sobre el restaurante en esta aplicación. Me gustaría añadir ajeno a mi experiencia, y lo hago desde mi humilde opinión, que cuando se sale a comer hay que saber muy bien a dónde se va y a qué se va. Saber lo que buscas y lo que esperas encontrar. De igual forma que no pides unos caracoles a la brasa en un Burger king, si esperas florecitas de colores en el plato, que te limpien los zapatos y te canten la etiqueta de un sauvignon bourdeau, servido en copa de marfil, este no es tu sitio. Si por lo contrario lo que pretendes es disfrutar de uno de los pocos sitios auténticos de cocina catalana que deben quedar, pegarte una genial calçotada, y atiborrarte a buena brasa, entonces créeme puedes hacer caso de mi reseña e ir a probar. Por último y para concretar un par de comentarios negativos. Entiendo el peso e importancia de la pasada y aún latente pándemia, y que por ello mucha gente le dé la importancia que tiene. Lo respeto. Pero personalmente soy una persona que cuando va a comer lo hace para disfrutar. Para salir de casa según como, es...

A restaurant that serves traditional Montserrat delicacies. We were a group of ten people, and we almost all ordered the same thing: their Menú Cargolada, which includes bread, drinks, dessert, and coffee. For the first dish, I had the snails in sauce; it was okay but a little bland for me. Then, I had a combination of grilled meats (lamb, chicken, and sausage) as my main course. The lamb was a bit tough, but the rest was fine. The staff who served us were friendly. I would recommend going here if you are...
