The partner's word
Pont Vell Restaurant, founded in 1981 by Núria Boleda and Artur Mercadé, stands at the foot of Besalú’s 11th-century Romanesque bridge, offering one of the area’s finest views. Now managed by the founders’ family, Núria and Anna Mercadé oversee the dining room, while head chef Robert Mora leads the kitchen.
Chef Mora, trained at the Girona School of Catering and Tourism with experience at El Celler de Can Roca and kitchens across France, England, and Italy, crafts dishes rooted in classical tradition. The menu features seasonal, high-quality ingredients sourced weekly from the Banyoles farmers’ market, merging timeless culinary techniques with subtle modern touches.
The restaurant balances authentic tradition with comfort through attentive service and a curated selection of wines, cavas, and liquors, many available by the glass via Coravin. Unique ceramic tableware, personally designed and crafted by Núria Boleda, harmonizes presentation and atmosphere. Pont Vell offers both interior and outdoor seating in a historic setting overlooking the iconic bridge and welcomes pets.
