The story
Els Jardins del Tancat sits within Tancat de Codorniu, a walled rural estate surrounded by more than 2,500 producing orange trees. Located between Vinaròs and Les Cases de Alcanar, this tranquil property offers wide gardens, lakeside pools, and a sense of calm that feels a world away from the coast’s busier spots. The restaurant is part of a larger hospitality concept that includes boutique accommodation and event spaces.
The restaurant draws on the estate’s own character. Guests dine in a setting that is both refined and unhurried, with outdoor seating available among the orange trees and gardens. The atmosphere is one of relaxed elegance – the kind of place where a long lunch or dinner feels natural. A bar, private dining options, and catering for events are also available.
The cuisine is defined by the Mediterranean and the grill. Dishes are built on fresh, local ingredients, prepared with attention to detail and a respect for tradition. The kitchen’s work has earned the restaurant a Michelin Recommended distinction for 2026, a recognition of the quality and consistency of the cooking. The menu changes with the seasons, highlighting the produce of the surrounding region.
