Verd i Vent Restaurant in Jalon.

“I would like to add to the above recommendation for Verd i Vent. It seems to be an old farm house or at least old farm buildings with lovely nooks and crannies as opposed to just a cow shed. We went as just 3 people and thoroughly enjoyed the smaller adjoining rooms and the whole place made me feel I wanted to explore around every corner. The owners are not Spanish and they mix healthy, traditional Spanish country food with a twist of Northern European cuisine. It makes for a very widely enjoyed menu. I have been told the police watch the diners as they leave because the free flowing wine leaves the drivers well over the limit, be aware and be safe. It is a very difficult place to find on the first visit, especially for those not familiar with Jalon. You take a small back street in Jalon which runs parallel to the main street and then turn into a narrow, unassuming street sign posted Bernia. The restaurant card does not show enough detail to find it if you are not already ‘in the know’. Once heading for Bernia it seems a long way out but keep going and ask your passengers to be vigilant! It is WELL worth a visit. As it only opens at lunchtimes it is essential to book as far in advance as possible. In high season the first available booking may be 7 or more days away!” Annie P.

“Great five course meal for about 18 euros in an old cow shed! This makes for a completely different eating out experience and so we always go there as a group which is a lot of fun. The tables in the main room are quite long which suits for groups, there is a roaring fire and the wine just flows and never stops. Being Jalon wine it is very good but very strong! Verd i Vent is only open at lunchtimes because it runs on a generator. Off the main room are smaller rooms also with tables so don’t be put off if there are only two of you.” June S. March ’08

Have just returned from another Spanish holiday and paid a return visit to Verd i Vent, you do not just have a meal but an eating experience. Five course all completely different and taken from cookbooks all over Europe. I would strongly reccommend it to all who love eating and drinking the lovely red wine of the area. Still only 17 Euro each and must represent the best value for miles. Please do not be put off by the road it is a beautiful mountain ride for the sensible slow drivers, stunning scenery especially if you go up one way and down the other!!.
I agree about the eating experience- went for lunch and left at 5.30pm. Great old place and great atmoshphere.
Only open lunchtimes and you need to book
Keep well informed about their real chef’s holidays. The second one (the owner) does not reach the same level at all…
Best place to enjoy lots of food, and local wine (it’s free!!!).
I’ve never been disappointed neither by one chef nor somebody else.
Owners speak good english, and I find they’re doing very well.
