COOKERY
We always cook using fresh seasonal, organic, proximity foods; in order to boost local economy and reduce the carbon footprint. We work in a network with local small traditional producers, this is how we know the origin of every food we serve you, and each one has its story.
We enjoy it
when you eat here!
Free Breakfast!
When booking on our website you will get free breakfast every day!
It is a balanced, healthy breakfast to enjoy before going out on a walk, or bicycle route… if you come to relax, take all the time you need, we are not in a hurry today…
It includes coffee, tea or herbal tea; cow or oat milk; bread with tomato, fruit, cereal, extra virgin olive oil; all organic.
As well as cheese and butter from Cooperativa del Cadí, and local jams.
Oh! And our homemade, organic flour cookies, healthy and delicious!
Dinner at Cal Calsot
Dinner is optional at Cal Calsot, and the menu varies according to the season.
It consists of a starter, two main courses; and dessert. We have a wine list in which you may choose different organic wines and caves from Catalan PDOs (Protected designation of origin), craft beers, teas, herbal teas; or organic juices.
You will share the table with the other guests, turning dinner time into a moment of conversation and experience sharing; all the while you try local, organic, healthy products cooked with a lot of care.
Mind you, we are not a restaurant so we only cook for guests lodging in the house, we also will need to know if you are having dinner beforehand.
Some of our dishes
Quan cuino, el més important és el producte fresc, sense maquillatges, el que ens dóna la terra cada temporada.
És una cuina saludable, mediterrània, amb amanides, cremes fredes i calentes, arrossos, moltes, moltes verdures i fruita.
No cuino carn cada dia, per això molts dels menús es poden concebre com a vegetarians.
Quan cuino carn acostuma a ser vedella ecològica de la Granja de Cal Calsot, i la cuino a la planxa, a la cocotte, o al forn, amb herbes del nostre jardí aromàtic.
Durant la teva estada procuro que no repeteixis cap plat.
Eco-picnic
If you are planning to go hiking and spend the day outdoors, in Cal Calsot we offer the possibility to order an eco-picnic prepared with love and our sustainable philosophy.
Inclou una peça de fruita de temporada, un suc de fruita, fruits secs, un entrepà amb producte local (formatge, embotit o ous).
It includes a seasonal fruit, a fruit juice, nuts; and a local product sandwich (cheese, cold meat or eggs.) We use zero waste packaging: returnable and reusable.
We can also adapt the eco-picnic to a vegan option, or to food intolerances.
Avoid plastic bottles and cans!! Bring your canteen (for only 0.50 € we will refill it as many times as needed with reverse osmosis water.)

Great place and excellent hosts!
Lidia and Marc are exceptional hosts! They gave us advice (and maps!) on how to go to the best places around. The rooms are very modern and comfortable, great showers!! The food is great, and was very in line with what we were looking for (sustainable food and place). Great philosophy and warm people. Couldn’t recomend it more!!
Robert and friends
Cycling Perfection
Our cycling group stayed at this spectacular B&B in the gorgeous countryside of Catalonia. The lodge has a very rustic and warm feel, and the view from the courtyard is spectacular. The proprietors/hosts, Marc and Lydia, are amazing; they obviously love sharing their slice of paradise with their guests, whom they treat as family! Delicious, organic foods sourced from local farmers and artisans are presented each morning at your leisure, and Marc is an accomplished chef should you want to enjoy dinner on site as well. Easily 5 Stars!
