Far Nomo — Restaurant in Palafrugell

Far Nomo in Llafranc is, without exaggeration, one of the most incredible dining experiences I’ve ever had in my life. I went for the set menu, and every single dish was an explosion of creativity, balance, and flavor that left me speechless.

From the very first bite, it was clear that this isn’t just food—it’s art. Each plate was beautifully presented, but more importantly, the flavors were perfectly tuned: fresh, bold, and deeply satisfying. The quality of the ingredients was outstanding, and the chefs clearly know how to take Japanese cuisine to a whole new level while respecting tradition.

The set menu was a flawless journey, building in intensity and surprise with every course. One moment you’re savoring delicate textures, the next you’re hit with a wave of umami that makes you close your eyes just to focus on how good it tastes. It was adventurous without ever being pretentious, and generous without ever feeling rushed.

The service was warm, attentive, and completely in sync with the flow of the meal. And let’s not forget the setting: overlooking the sea in Llafranc, with that laid-back Mediterranean charm, it’s hard to imagine a more perfect backdrop for such extraordinary food.

Far Nomo isn’t just a restaurant—it’s an experience. If you love Japanese cuisine (or honestly, if you just love food), this place will blow you away. Easily one of the best meals I’ve ever had, and worth traveling to...

we had the menu de degustacion and many plates had mayonnaise in it (covering all other flavours basically) or too much truffle oil. this mix of japanese and fusion of other cuisines was not to our taste. When the waitress came and first presented us a plate of fried glass noodles with shrimps covered in spicy mayonaise , topped with a fried egg “EBI CHILI Spicy shrimps on crispy kataifi noodles and fried egg”( this is really already the opposite of an elegant japanese dish) and then cut the plate with a fork an knife in a way a mother of a toddler would cut the spaghettis to feed the toddler with a spoon.. —it looked so disgusting, i lost my appetite. the next dish “toro tataki” was arranged by the waiter at the table for whatever reason… it felt just unnecessary, i guess it should give a feeling of extraordinary service.. but it made no sense and just felt silly. the dishes in general were weired and you could not taste all the diffferent flavours. the GYU NIKU NO TATAKI was the worst - the mushrooms tasted like my dentists fluor paste.. the waiters were attentive and friendly. but our experience was a dissapointment for the “paladar” and some aspects of the service, the small table and uncomfortable chairs , did not match my expectations of a restaurant of this high price category.. we will not repeat...

We had this place recommended by some locals, and were told it was important to book in advance, which we really saw - multiple were rejected in the door.

The vibe of the place was super nice in the room with the bar, were the opposite room where we were located was more “empty”

The waiters have perhaps been super good if we could speak Spanish or Catalan ourselves, as when it came to English, we had to use handgestures and google translate, to make sure we ordered the right things and not to much of it.

When it came to the food we had the edename truffle, which is there best I’ve ever tasted! Next came a beef gyoza, which was melting with taste in our mouth, really good! For the main course we chose the 35p chef choice of nigiri and uramaki. Some of them were AMAZING! But there were also a few we didn’t like. There’s were a few pieces which were super spicy, and we do prefer to spice our sushi ourselves with the real wasabi served. We def have had better sushi, but this was another experience as they used untraditional things to top the sushi with.

All in all, I would def recommend this to someone how want to to try something new, and get a nice datenight out of it. But be prepared, the English service...
