Jordi, ex-chef of Seu-Xerea, and his partner Carol run this delight-
ful small restaurant with its tasteful minimalist, bright white on dark-brown decor.
After a trio of tasty lunchtime starters, attractively presented on a single platter,
comes a rice dish of just the right consistency, followed by a choice of rich desserts.

Tapas

Pilar is great for hearty tapas and
clóchinas,
small, juicy local mussels, available
between May and August. For the rest of the year, it serves
mejillones,

a platterful in a spicy broth that you scoop up
with a spare shell.
