River Girona
About This Spot
Stepping into River Girona feels like slipping into a tranquil moment woven into the heart of the old city, just beside the gently flowing river and the watchful presence of the Church of St. Felix. The pace here slows down, inviting you to settle in with a quiet smile as the sunlight dances softly over stone and water, or as twilight wraps the streets in a warm, hushed glow.
This spot naturally blends the relaxed spirit of a neighborhood tavern with a touch of riverside charm that feels both familiar and a little special. It’s a place where conversations drift easily over thoughtfully crafted drinks and plates that bridge local flavors with comfort. The attentive yet unobtrusive service creates a welcoming rhythm, making it easy to lose track of time — perhaps while enjoying a vermouth that’s as much a part of the experience as the views, or a shared plate of patatas bravas with their three distinct sauces, each bite sparking small moments of joy.
The atmosphere is quietly alive, often humming with the gentle background of local melodies or the clink of glasses raised to toast ordinary evenings and special celebrations alike. Whether you're settling in for a laid-back afternoon away from the bustle, or gathering with friends to savor a bespoke menu under the soft Catalan sky, River Girona offers a gracious hospitality that feels personal and grounded.
Here, the charm is in those small human moments — the warmth in a waitress’s smile, the subtle mix of flavors in a mojito de maduixa, the delight of sharing a plate of crisp, golden croquettes, or simply sitting back to watch the world drift by along the river’s edge. This is a place where local rhythm and riverside serenity meet, inviting both discovery and a sense of quiet belonging.

Very great little cafe along a river and with good views. The food was delicious even we only ate Tapas but I had the best artichoke!

We celebrated our pre-wedding party at River and it was great. Friendly staff, quick communication, customised menu based on our wishes, good quality food and a very nice atmosphere! On top of that the location couldn’t be better. Many thanks!

Place and atmosphere is perfect. Waitress was so nice and kind! We loved the food and cocktails were really nice! It’s not expensive even tho it’s in Girona old city next to cathedral.

Great location by the river. We went to watch a Catalan Rumba group play outside. Great food and great atmosphere. Highly recommend a visit - especially if there’s live music.

Great place with a view of the Church of St. Felix - especially beautiful in the evening. The vermouth is just wonderful, it is very pleasant and calm to sit here. Magical atmosphere.

We had a wonderful lunch at River Girona and were absolutely delighted! Located right in front of the Basilica de Sant Feliu, it offers beautiful views that perfectly complement the meal. The flavours were delicious, the wine was excellent, and the staff were warm and friendly. A truly tasty experience in a stunning setting — definitely a place to visit for a relaxed and enjoyable lunch!

We stopped over for a beer earlier in the afternoon. We got some tapas (which were amazing) and were ready to set off on our way. Until, the lovely Carlota stepped on the scene. She greeted us with the warmest of welcomes and we had the absolute best conversations. The food was amazing, however the hospitality from all of the staff is enough for us to recommend this place to ANYONE and EVERYONE. Shoutout to my girl Carlota

Very nice surprise. We spent a wonderful aperitivo time sitting at this terrace in a sunny november. Service is young but all attentive and efficient. Yet the most surprisingly was the quality of the tapas: we took few of them -bravas, fried calamari and olives- and all of them were excellent. Very recommended.
