One hour north of Girona is the culinary fraternity of Can Roca. Three brothers who grew up using their mother’s kitchen as a playground have forged one of the greatest restaurants on Earth. Joan is the architect of taste while Jordi achieves anarchy and wonder with the sweets and Josep creates a backdrop of magic with his cellar cum theater. The restaurant boasts a wine-lover’s fantasy cellar, a triangular glass-walled modernist dining room and a contemporary tasting menu that draws extensively from the Catalan terroir, while also taking cues from around the world. 2016’s No. 2 World’s 50 Best Restaurant is unmissable.
