Welcome to El Trull d'en Francesc
A trull is an olive oil mill. The Xambó-Salguero family restored this 17th-century one, keeping its original stone walls and historic features.
The Boadella olive oil mill is built beside the River Muga.
The oil press that now presides over the main dining room arrives.
Francisco Xambó, Josi Salguero and their son Francesc open the restaurant.
The same idea as always: produce, produce and produce.
- Seasonal cooking with local produce
- A natural setting by the river, minutes from La Jonquera and Figueres
- A historic building, a former 17th-century oil mill
- An extensive wine list from wineries with soul
- Warm, attentive service
In summer
The riverside terrace becomes a unique spot, surrounded by trees, with ducks and geese just a few metres away.
In winter
The fireplace and the old mill's stone walls make the dining room a cosy place for an unhurried meal.
