“ This was our first visit to El Trull but certainly won’t be our last. A really lovely restaurant - delicious and creative menu, welcoming atmosphere and friendly service. What more could you need? ”
“ A water place in the middle of a desert is called an oasis. This is in the middle of wood and green country but somehow it is an oasis. An oasis of great food, wine and most importantly service. We landed up without a booking at exact opening time at 1230 and were seated promptly. Service by David all through was exceptional. For food we had the cheese platter. My friend being vegetarian had a large list to choose from. Don't remember what he got but he liked it. I had the pig trotters with the sauce. It was huge- couldn't finish it. For dessert we went with the strawberry with fresh cream. The wine list is huge. We took a Mallorca wine-12 Volt. Overall an amazing experience. Highly recommended. Visited Oct 2023. ”
“ Faultless! We were taken for lunch on Sunday by friends who have regularly visited over the years. Everything was perfect. The location overlooking the river is wonderful - you don’t want to be sat ‘inside’, you need a table in the room overlooking the river. Service was fantastic (English widely spoken if that worries you). Very course was tasty, the hot Foie Gras to stay sublime. Can’t think of one complaint and can’t wait to visit again. A real treat. ”
“ Just had an amazing meal at El Trull d'en Francesc! Everything was top-notch, from the delicious dishes to the fantastic service. The quality of the products was outstanding, and the prices are super reasonable for what you get. Highly recommend this place if you're in Boadella! ”
“ My wife and I took the chance of visiting El Trull d’en Francesc and it was quite a success! We are the gourmet menu, which includes a broad number of starters (7) and a sorbet, prior to a single selected main dish. I felt that the quality was very high and the attention was great, specially for attending as a couple. There were also some guests with a toddler, but I would not recommend families with small children to this restaurant in case you’d like to have a full gastronomic experience. The menu was very complete and tasteful. Adding the link to the menu below: https://www.trull-boadella.com/en/menu-gourmet.aspx ”
“ Visiting Trull d’en Francesc felt like discovering a hidden gem in the countryside. The restaurant’s setting is peaceful and authentic, with a refined yet unpretentious atmosphere. The tasting menu is a revelation—delicate arrangements of flavours, each plate whispering rather than shouting. There’s creativity but also deep respect for tradition, especially evident in the vegetable‑first courses. Wine pairings are exceptional: organic and biodynamic bottles from the region complement each course thoughtfully and create a seamless symphony of taste. I felt each sip was an extension of the food. The service is more intimate than corporate. Staff walked us through each course patiently, sharing stories of local growers and cooking philosophy. This feels like a personal journey rather than just a dinner. ”
“ One of the best restaurants ever been! The service, the quality of the food as well as the wine list were all top-notch. The prices are all correct and reasonable comparing with such high end restaurants. Definitely we will come back again and I would highly recommend this restaurant to everyone! ”
