Equilibri: A Space for the Senses in Olot

On Carrer Sant Ferriol in Olot, Equilibri describes itself as an "espai d’exploració dels sentits" – a space to explore the senses through gastronomy, atmosphere, and company. The kitchen is grounded in local cultural and gastronomic roots, yet it opens to the world with flavors that surprise and awaken. "Sortir de la zona de confort no és fàcil," the team writes, "but we cannot conceive of another way to understand life and cooking." This philosophy of stepping beyond comfort defines the experience.

The restaurant offers several ways to engage with its contemporary cuisine. The Menú Descobrir is a curated journey of twelve preparations that express the balance between product, territory, and creativity. For weekday lunches, the Menú de temporada presents a more accessible seasonal menu at 35 €, featuring dishes like cream of pumpkin soup, roasted cannelloni, grilled fish, and braised oxtail with parmentier. A la carte options and a thoughtful wine and cocktail list are also available.

The dining room itself is an integral part of the story. Equilibri's interior won the 2024 Architecture Prize from the Col·legi d'Arquitectes de Catalunya (COAC) in the Interiors category. The project is described as one of atmosphere, speaking of old and new, memory and the present, strength and fragility – each layer counterbalanced by its opposite, with a mirror as the point of union.

This commitment to craft and equilibrium has earned the restaurant a place in the Michelin guide as a Recommended restaurant, a recognition that aligns naturally with its pursuit of balance in every detail. Whether through the Menú Descobrir or a seasonal lunch, Equilibri invites guests to a place, a moment, and the promise of an experience that begins before the first bite.
