L’Aliança d’Anglès, a Restaurant Steeped in History
Some places have something truly special about them, and at L’Aliança d’Anglès, much of that character comes from our history. Built in 1919, the building was home to a family-run café for decades, becoming a popular meeting place for local residents.
Today, several spaces retain the essence of that era, including the former mezzanine, now home to the restaurant’s wine cellar, the bar in the main dining room, and the impressive stained-glass windows. This combination of history, architecture and gastronomy creates a welcoming atmosphere, far removed from the usual clichés of a romantic dinner.
Our aim is to make you feel comfortable from the moment you arrive, with attentive, friendly service that complements your evening without taking centre stage.
A Tasting Menu to Discover Our Cuisine
Gastronomy takes centre stage at L’Aliança. Led by chef Àlex Carrera, we create distinctive cuisine rooted in traditional cooking and inspired by the ingredients supplied by local gardens, farms and fish markets.
Our tasting menus are designed as a culinary journey, featuring a succession of dishes that allow you to discover our cuisine step by step.
Wine also plays an important role. Our wine list features more than 350 selections, ranging from historic wineries to small contemporary producers. We also offer pairings made exclusively with drinks from the region, bringing you closer to the landscapes and winemaking culture that surround us.
Ideas for Planning a Romantic Surprise
You don’t need a major celebration to plan something different. An anniversary, a meaningful date or simply the desire to escape your everyday routine can be the perfect excuse.
If you’re planning a visit, here are four ideas:
-
Keep the destination a secret. Book a table and reveal the restaurant only when you arrive.

Let our cuisine guide the experience. Choose a tasting menu and, if you both enjoy wine, consider complementing it with a wine pairing.
-
Explore the surroundings. Combine your visit with a stroll through Anglès or a short getaway to the La Selva region.

Stay in a countryside guesthouse. The area around Anglès offers a wide range of rural accommodation where you can relax and unwind.
