Castell Peralada Restaurant

What Castell Peralada Restaurant does

Castell Peralada Restaurant is a Michelin-starred fine dining establishment operating inside the 14th-century Castillo de Peralada in Peralada, Alt Empordà (Girona), Spain. Founded around 2016 under the legal entity Casino Castell Peralada, S.L.U, the restaurant offers reinterpretive Catalan cuisine led by Chef Javi Martínez (20+ years of experience, trained at Mas Pau) and front-of-house directed by Maître/Sommelier Toni Gerez (formerly of El Bulli's founding team and co-manager of the Michelin-starred Mas Pau for 20 years). The culinary proposition emphasizes seasonal, organic, locally sourced ingredients, including produce from the restaurant's own garden, supported by an exclusive wine cellar and cheese cart. It serves lunch and dinner Wednesday through Sunday from multiple dining rooms, private rooms in the castle towers, and a terrace with lake and garden views. Pricing operates on a reservation-based, quote-driven tasting menu model with no publicly disclosed rates.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer go-to-market with no third-party delivery or app presence; reservation channels are phone-based (+34 972 522 040) and walk-in, supported by a four-language website (Spanish, Catalan, English, French). The restaurant is structurally embedded in the Peralada Resort ecosystem, cross-promoting and capturing guest flow from Hotel Peralada 5*, Casino Castell Peralada, Bodega Perelada (Pritzker Prize 2017 architecture, LEED Gold winery), Wine Spa, golf, and the Castell de Peralada International Music Festival. Customer segments are luxury dining enthusiasts (food and wine tourists, special occasion diners) and Peralada Resort hotel guests, with secondary private event business in the castle tower rooms.

Revenue mechanics are tasting menu and wine pairing sales, private dining bookings, and resort-referred covers; no revenue figures, customer counts, or contract values are disclosed. The restaurant has held 1 Michelin Star continuously since 2017 and 2 Soles Repsol in 2025–2026, and in 2022 Toni Gerez received the inaugural Michelin Best Dining Room Service award for Spain and Portugal — the first such award in the Guide's history. Marketing is primarily brand-led through the website, press releases, and resort cross-promotion, with no performance/paid acquisition, app, or e-commerce platform disclosed in the source data.
