Where to eat in La Molina and La Masella: restaurant guide
In the La Molina and Masella ski area, the dining plan is split between the slopes of the two resorts themselves and a couple of villages in the Cerdanya, a few minutes away by car. Alp, the closest one, and Puigcerdà, the capital of the region, with much more variety if you're looking to get away from the resort area.
Without leaving the slopes
Restaurant Skibar (Masella): one of the best rated in the whole area, right at the foot of the slopes. Many describe it as the perfect finishing touch after a day of skiing, with a quality that's surprising for a resort restaurant.
Pla de Masella: the timeless classic in Masella, in a privileged location for both skiers and anyone who just comes up to eat.
Croco Brasa (La Molina): specialising in meats, one of the most frequently mentioned in recommendations for the area.
Bar Granja la Molina: homestyle, humble cooking with very good value for money — just over a kilometre from the ski school.
Restaurante El Brezo (La Molina): a good option if you're looking for a hearty breakfast before heading up to the slopes.
Cafetería Alabau (Pla d'Anyella, La Molina): the go-to stop for a coffee or a mid-morning bite, with some of the best views in the area and a very sunny terrace.
Alp: the closest village
Just a few minutes from the slopes, in the municipality of Alp itself, there are several options that step outside the resort's purely touristy circuit.
El Tiró: well-rated Mediterranean and European cuisine, a good option for either a relaxed lunch or dinner.
Ca l'Eudald: authentic Catalan cuisine focused on bringing back dishes typical of the region, recognised by the Repsol Guide. Highly recommended for eating as a family.
Casa Patxi: recommended by the Michelin Guide, with an average price of €22 to €44. The option with the highest gastronomic level within Alp itself.
For a special occasion: fine dining in the Cerdanya
If your trip calls for a table with a bit more ceremony, the Cerdanya has a couple of names recognised by the Michelin Guide and the Repsol Guide, a little further from the slopes but well worth the trip:
TR 1910 - Torre del Remei (Bolvir, about 20-25 minutes away): an early 20th-century modernist mansion-hotel, with a market and signature cuisine menu and an atmosphere many describe as the most elegant in the whole region. Average price around €65.
Can Borrell (Meranges, a little further away, in one of the most authentic valleys of the Cerdanya): traditional Catalan cuisine with creative touches, set within a rural hotel with a fireplace. Average price between €27 and €50.
Puigcerdà: if you're looking for more variety
Puigcerdà, about 20 minutes away, is the capital of the Cerdanya and has the largest dining offer in the whole region, with far more options than the resort itself or Alp. If one evening you feel like getting away from the slopes area and changing the atmosphere, some good options are:
La Cava Taberna: right in the centre, traditional cuisine with creative and fusion touches (T-bone steak, tuna tataki, bao bread), an elegant atmosphere and a good wine list. It's worth booking, as it fills up easily.
La Borda del Ceretà: Catalan cuisine with quality ingredients and creative interpretation, one of the best rated in the village.
Coma Oriola: a good option if you're looking to eat well without overspending, especially after a day of skiing. One of the usual recommendations for eating well and cheaply in the area.
