The story

Pahissa del Mas ... – Pals, Costa Brava, Spain – Michelin Recommended Seasonal Restaurant

The estate and its history

Pahissa del Mas ... is set within Mas Pou, a 14th-century country house in Pals that has been in the Pericay family for seven generations. Surrounded by rice paddies that have been cultivated since the 15th century, the restaurant is deeply rooted in the landscape. The family’s connection to the land is the heart of the project, and the dining room is housed within the original family house, offering an intimate setting that reflects the estate’s history.

Chef Jordi Vallespi and the seasonal menu

Chef Jordi Vallespi brings a long and recognised culinary trajectory to the kitchen. His philosophy is one of proximity and respect: he works with the finest local products, letting their essence guide each dish.
