One family, one passion
At the foot of the Montseny, in the charming village of Gualba, Can Florenci is much more than a restaurant. It is a house where Catalan market cuisine is prepared with the same love and respect as over three decades ago, when it all began.
We work with local producers —Montseny charcuterie, artisan cheeses, seasonal vegetables— to bring the best of our land to your table. The wood-fired grill, snails in a clay pot and paellas to order are our soul.

Slow-cooked stews
Stews made slowly, just like at home: the spoon dish you crave after a walk in the Montseny or a Sunday family lunch.
Tripe with calf's head and trotters
Slow-cooked, with a thick sauce and a hint of spice.
Roast pork cheek
So tender it falls apart with a fork, served with potatoes.
Stewed pig's trotters
The classic recipe, rich and full of flavour.
Snails in a clay pot
A house classic, with a sauce for dipping bread.
Veal with mushrooms
Veal stewed with seasonal mushrooms.
Oven-roasted lamb shoulder
Slowly roasted until the meat comes away from the bone.
Grill wood-fired grill
Beef entrecôte and fillet, lamb, secreto, botifarra sausage, duck magret, octopus leg and the mixed grill to share. Everything from the grill comes with potatoes, salad or beans.
