About La Garrina Natural Wine Restaurante - Solo el Amor Salvara el Mundo - Wine Shop
La Garrina is a natural wine bar and restaurant in Girona's old town that's built its reputation on two things: genuinely funky wines and empanadas that get mentioned. The owner, Pablo, works the room with a presence that settles people quickly. The menu leans vegetarian and vegan-friendly, with dishes showing thought, and the wine list offers natural wines that taste of something (reviewers describe them as 'funky, different, distinct, with earth and character'). It's the kind of place where you come for a glass and end up staying for the whole evening because the place holds you. Reviewers from multiple languages and backgrounds note the same things: the staff looks after people, the food is thoughtfully made, and the wine selection makes the journey worthwhile.
What Stands Out
Natural wines that taste like themselves
Reviewers consistently praise the wine selection as "outstanding" and "carefully curated." One described them as "funky, different, authentic, with earth and character," while another called their pet nat and red wines "absolutely cracking." The owner sources both Argentine and local Girona wines, creating what one reviewer called "a fusion real between two worlds."
Empanadas that justify the reputation
Multiple reviewers specifically highlight the empanadas as exceptional. One notes "the mass is super light and rich, the fillings are delicious with lots of flavour and you can tell the products are fresh." Another calls them "brutal" and describes them as "Argentine but with a twist that turns them into a mix of the world." A third simply states they're "crazy good."
Service that feels personal, not transactional
Reviewers name staff members (Pablo, Marylynn) and describe the experience as making them "feel like home" and "like family from the first moment." One reviewer notes the owner is "genial, close, and makes you feel at home from the first moment." Another praises the staff as "a 10" and describes the young waiter as "super nice," with "a pleasure in the treatment and the food."
What Customers Say
That is one of the best natural wine bars we have ever experienced.

Frequently Asked Questions about La Garrina Natural Wine Restaurante - Solo el Amor Salvara el Mundo - Wine Shop
Empanadas are the signature—reviewers describe them as light, flavourful, and genuinely Argentine with a creative twist. The menu includes strong vegetarian and vegan options (one reviewer called it "the best in Girona for vegan and vegetarian options with lots of variety"). Dishes like the capresse empanada and vegan cheese plate are specifically praised. Everything's made with fresh ingredients and clear attention to detail.
Both, but wine comes first. You can absolutely eat a full meal here (empanadas, nachos, cheese plates), but people come for the natural wine selection and stay for the food and atmosphere. It's not a fine dining restaurant—it's a place where wine and small plates are the point.
Currently closed Monday through Saturday. Open Sunday only. Check their website or call ahead before visiting, as hours may change seasonally.
No online booking available. Walk in or call ahead. Given the reviews mention full tables and standing room by evening, arriving early (before 8pm on weekends) gives you the best chance of a seat.
€10–20 per person. You're paying for carefully chosen wines and thoughtfully made food, not high-end plating. A glass of natural wine plus empanadas or a cheese plate keeps you well within budget.
