This establishment is older than the Estación de Francia train station
next door. It originally opened as the Posada de la Estrella (Star Inn),
where sailors who’d just come into port would go to eat and sleep. The
current owners are the fourth generation of the family to work here
and have shaped its direction in recent years. Pepi, who studied at the
Hofmann Hospitality School, works the kitchen while her husband
Jordi manages the dining room. One day, a friend commented on how
difficult it was to find Ebro cuisine in the city, which inspired them to
specialize in the fish and gastronomy of the Delta. The duo prefers to buy
products from people they know: pâtés and meats come from a friend in
Girona, and the vegetables from friends who run a farm. This approach
has allowed them to weave a supply network of local producers.
