The food does not disappoint. All ingredients are locally sourced and top-quality. \u201cFor over 30 years, we’ve worked with the same suppliers of rabbit, meat and snails.\u201d A sure sign that no change is needed. \u201cOur food isn’t sophisticated. Down-to-earth, honest and unpretentious dishes and recipes. Artichokes are one of our specialties. With olive oil and salt. They don’t need anything else.\u201d At Cal Xim, the menu always features seasonal ingredients. Artichokes, zucchini blossoms, fresh salmon, peaches. Whatever happens to be in season. \u201cOur food is straightforward and healthy.\u201d They don’t say it, but they always have an off-menu item available. The service is very friendly\u2014it almost feels familial. In fact, Santi reveals that in some cases he has served four generations of the same family. \u201cOur customers really feel at home here. I grew up in a bar, and I’m friends with most of my customers.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of their celebrated dishes.<\/p>\n

The list wouldn’t be complete without Jean Leon. \u201cJean Leon’s Cabernet is among the best in the Pened\u00e8s. The same is true for the Chardonnay and the Gran Reserva. It isn’t easy to find such high-quality wines,\u201d says Santi.<\/p>\n
In addition to the quality of the wines, there is a story, a close relationship that unites Cal Xim and Jean Leon. We’ll tell you more about that in a couple of weeks. It’s worth the wait, we promise. In the meantime, come out to Sant Pau d’Ordal. Cal Xim awaits.
