The story

Can Roquet in Santa Cristina d'Aro – Author Cuisine in a 17th-Century Masia

Can Roquet

In the quiet hamlet of Romanyà de la Selva, part of Santa Cristina d'Aro, a 17th-century farmhouse holds a restaurant that feels both of its place and entirely its own. Can Roquet is the work of Donald de Ridder and Kenn Van Roy, who run the kitchen and dining room with a clear sense of purpose.

The cooking is described as author cuisine, restless and eclectic. That translates to a kitchen that draws on local produce while letting in influences from across the world. The result is international in spirit but rooted in the ingredients of the region. The team works with what they call the best products, both from nearby and from further afield, and the attention to detail is evident in every plate.

The setting reinforces the experience. The old stone walls of the masia, the outdoor seating in good weather, the private room for larger gatherings – all of it contributes to a sense of place that is understated but strong. The restaurant has earned a place in the Michelin Guide (Recommended for 2025 and 2026), a recognition that aligns with the precision and personality of the cooking.

Can Roquet is open for lunch and dinner from Wednesday through Sunday, and on all public holidays in 2026. It is a destination for those who want to eat well in a setting that has history, without any of the fuss.
