The story
In the small mountain village of Setcases, in the Vall de Camprodon, Can Jepet offers a direct expression of Catalan cooking shaped by the Pyrenees. The restaurant’s own motto—"Estima per la cuina"—speaks to a love of the kitchen that translates into dishes built on local ingredients and time-honoured methods.
The kitchen at Can Jepet focuses on sabors, aromes i tradició (flavours, aromas and tradition). This is Catalan cuisine that draws from the immediate landscape: the forests, pastures and streams of the Pyrenees. The menu changes with the seasons, reflecting what the valley provides, from wild mushrooms in autumn to river trout and mountain cheeses.
The dining room is warm and unfussy, designed for long meals that match the pace of mountain life. Large windows frame views of the surrounding peaks, and the interior combines stone walls with simple wooden furnishings. It is a setting that feels both rustic and refined—appropriate for a restaurant that has earned a Michelin Recommended distinction for its consistent, honest cooking.
The team at Can Jepet works with a clear philosophy: respect the product, let the ingredients speak. The restaurant’s location in Setcases, one of the highest villages in the region, means the kitchen has access to exceptional local produce—mountain lamb, game, wild herbs and vegetables grown in small terraced gardens. The wine list favours Catalan appellations, with a strong selection from the nearby Empordà and Priorat.
Whether you come for a Sunday lunch after a morning hike or a quiet dinner in winter, Can Jepet delivers the kind of meal that feels specific to its place. The Michelin recommendation recognises exactly this: a restaurant that knows its territory and cooks with conviction.
