Quick Verdict
Yes. Locals return because the cooking's precise, the prices don't punish you, and Hugo's in the kitchen thinking about what he's doing — not following a formula.
You want to eat food that changes regularly and tastes like someone's actually paying attention to flavour and technique, in a room small enough that the chef notices you're there.
About Hakuk Gastrobar
Hakuk Gastrobar sits tucked into the Old Town on Pujada de Sant Domènec, a small intimate space where Chef Hugo and his team change the menu regularly to keep things unpredictable. You'll get plated dishes with real technique — carpaccio of courgette, blue cheese tart, mussels, trinxat — each one explained by the staff as it arrives. The room has personality without trying too hard, and the service moves at the pace of people who actually care about what they're doing. Weekend lunch is €25.50, Saturday dinner runs €35 for a 3-course set menu, and à la carte sits around €20–30. It's small enough that regulars book ahead, but walk-ins find a seat if they arrive early. Reviewers keep coming back because the food surprises without showing off, and the team treats you like you belong there.
What Stands Out
Technique that doesn't announce itself
Reviewers praise 'plats elaborats amb molt de detall' and 'des produits bien travaillés et des goûts raffinés' — the work is visible in the plate but doesn't get in the way of eating. One diner noted 'técnica molt ben executada, dels millors de Girona.'
Menu changes keep regulars guessing
One regular said 'canvien la carta molt sovint, demostrant la seva versatilitat a la cuina. Sempre que hi vaig em sorpren!' — this isn't a static menu, it's a working kitchen.
Service from people who mean it
Multiple reviews mention Chef Hugo's personal attention and the team's warmth. One diner noted they were invited for complimentary drinks when service ran slow due to demand, and another described 'un tracte proper que fa que et sentis com a casa.'

Yes. It's small and full by Saturday evening — one regular said 'com que es petit es millor reservar abans.' Walk-ins can try lunchtime on weekdays, but weekends you'll wait without a reservation.
Lunch menu €25.50, Saturday dinner menu €35, à la carte €20–30 per dish. One diner called it 'econòmic, de qualitat' — you're paying for technique, not markup.
No. They change it regularly to show what the kitchen can do. One regular said they're always surprised when they return, so don't expect the same dishes twice.
Reviewers specifically mention the courgette carpaccio ('espectacular'), blue cheese tart ('increíble'), mussels, trinxat, and noodles as standouts. But since the menu changes, ask the staff what's on. They'll know what's good.
Casual but precise. The room feels intimate and easy, not stiff. One diner described it as having 'encant i molt íntim' with a 'tracte proper' — you'll feel at home, not scrutinised.
