Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"For real an amazing place. We just finished our hiking and found this restaurant (partially closed due to COVID) to have something warm . We also checked the bathrooms and they were super clean. Prices are a bit expensive but you’ve to consider you’re in the middle of the mountains. A full menu for kids is EUR 10 and a full menu for adults is EUR 17. One medium cappuccino is EUR 2,60. We really recommend this place. I hope you find this review useful. If so, please visit our instagram profile and share your comments with us! We’d love if you visit us to see experiences all over the world! Have an amazing day! Follow and enjoy. @thetriplog @thetriplog @thetriplog Everywhere #thetriplog"
"Restaurante situado en el Santuario de Nuria. Hay varias opciones de comer, bufete, bar y carta. Nosotros comimos de carta en el Raco de la Vall. Servicio muy bueno, comida buenísima y lugar acogedor. Precio bien por lo que comes, hay cantidad y calidad."
"Muchas gracias por recibirnos tan amables, hemos recibido una atención excelente y hemos comido superbien. Mi elección: la parrillada de verduras, el entrecot y miel y mato. Todo muy rico, bueno emplatado y buena cantidad. Muchas Gracias!"
"Классный ресторан, почему то стоит заниженная оценка. Мы поднялись сюда пройдя 9.5 км. И здесь нашли приют, где нас накормили, приютили напоили пиво, отличное атмосфера, приятная, обслуживающий персонал приятный. Короче, я рекомендую всем здесь побывать."
"El Racó de la Vall és un restaurant correcte, sense grans pretensions. El menjar és normal i el servei és funcional, però tampoc s’hi maten massa. Al final, és l’únic restaurant de la vall i compleix per fer una parada, menjar alguna cosa calenta i continuar la jornada a Núria. No és un lloc per esperar-hi una gran experiència gastronòmica, però fa el seu paper si ja ets a la zona"
"El Racó de la Vall, conveniently placed in Vall de Núria, is the sort of restaurant you’re likely to encounter almost by accident—and perhaps stay out of mild curiosity rather than firm conviction. It offers a straightforward Mediterranean menu, with familiar staples such as paella, monkfish, and pork making regular appearances. On paper, it all sounds rather promising. The dishes are generally well-executed, if not particularly memorable, and those with a sweet tooth may find the gelato a pleasant surprise. There’s a decent selection of wine, and the coffee—always a quiet benchmark in Spain—holds its own. Families, in particular, are well catered for. The children’s menu is generous, and the atmosphere leans toward relaxed rather than refined, making it an easy choice for those travelling with younger companions. The setting itself is calm, almost understated, which can feel like a welcome pause amid a day of walking or skiing. Service tends to be described as friendly, if occasionally a touch indifferent—competent rather than attentive. Prices are reasonable, especially given the location, though expectations should be kept sensibly in check. Curiously, despite its many agreeable qualities, overall ratings remain somewhat lukewarm. Perhaps it’s a matter of inconsistency, or simply the quiet challenge of standing out in such a spectacular setting. In short: perfectly adequate, pleasantly unpretentious, but unlikely to be the highlight of your visit—more a practical stop than a culinary destination."
"Restaurante dentro del edificio del hotel de Núria. Espacio comodo, tranquilo y muy acogedor. Cuando te sientas a la mesa hay una atmosfera de calma. El trato del personal muy bueno, muy amables y atentos. La carta variada, precios normales en consonancia con cualquier restaurante de carta (no es caro pero no espereis comer por 15 euros). La comida sabrosa y bien presentada. Lo recomiendo si vas a Núria con calma y quieres comer bien. No hagais caso de las reseñas que indican que es un buffet, se han equivocado de restaurante (que digo yo...hacer una mala reseña y encima equivocarte de restaurante tela...) Ojo, no es un buffete, ni un fastfood, ni un restaurante para ir con niños correteando. Para ello hay otras propuestas como restaurante Finestrelles (planta -1) que tiene zona de juegos para los peques, es tipo self-service con bandejas, menús tipo hamburguesas, frankfurts, nuggets...mesas de libre disposición...para ir rapido a un precio más economico."
"After a long hike from Queralbs, this buffet style restaurant was like a mirage in the desert. I loved the variety and abundance of food."
