Restaurants
Pans & Company
A chain sandwich shop with a good selection of affordable items for lunch, ranging from traditional Catalan types to others.
Crêperie Bretonne
Dali-inspired interiors: creative but simple; can be found by a painted old VW Beetle. Almost empty in the noon time as Catalans eat around 13:30-14:00. They have a sister restaurant in Girona which is admittedly a great deal cooler and definitely worth checking out if you like this one.
Shang Hai
The more well-known of the two Chinese restaurants in Figueres
La Botiga del Pa I
A proper café with a wide selection of sweet items and breads, as well as comfortable seating, in a relaxed environment to eat them in.
Calid
An excellent local restaurant with a daily prix fix menu with dishes from the area including good gaspatxo in the summer. A 2-3 minute walk from the Dalà Museum. Fills up fast after 14:00.
Restaurador
An excellent midday prix fix four course meal from a menu of local dishes. Usually live music in the evening.
La Botiga del Pa II
Nice pastisseria; wide selection of bakery and confectionery. Good coffee; several sorts of branded tea, variety of fresh juices. Quite popular in the noon time. Personnel don't speak English.
La Cabaña
Extremely difficult to find as it is right off the N-11 north of town, next to a well-known "puti club" in the area called, Moonight. You need a car to get there. The interior is drab and uninspired. The exterior seating is on plastic chairs literally next to the highway. But the sliced jamón the serve is undeniably the best around and they have a selection of local and inexpensive wines. Diners will most likely be surrounded by a mix of Southern French and Figuerans devouring large plates of jamón that are quite reasonably priced.
Filosofia
A good place to generally grab a drink, but also with good dishes, typical of the area during lunch.
