Located at the coronation of the Sants Metges Mountain, inside La Fortalesa de Sant Julià de Ramis (BCIN, Cultural Asset of National Interest), the Atempo restaurant occupies the most reserved part of the upper floor of the Hotel Sants Metges.
It is reached through a sequence of intermediate spaces (hall, cocktail bar and aperitifs, show cooking space), all built on the trace of the old fortress of La Fortaleza de San Julià, a space where a part of the artillery and explosive materials necessary for the Défense of the mountain were kept safely.
A large vegetable roof with earth covers with a curvilinear form this place, with a forceful architectonic presence similar to the one of other pre-existing military buildings.
The dining room tables occupy a privileged position, a true eagle's nest with views over the garden, the interior water rafts and a 360º panoramic view of the province of Girona: the Montseny to the south, Puigmal, Canigó and the French border to the north, and Cap de Creus and Montgrí to the east.
The interior design of the room contrasts the harsh and rough materials of La Fortalesa - concrete with natural earth finish and corten steel in ceilings and walls - with the friendliest natural wood, found in the furniture of the tables and in the elements of separation.
The lighting is indirect throughout the dining room, to help put into value its space and volume, except the lights on the tables, resolved with minimal luminaires that do not interfere with the continuity of the space of the entire room.
A design of natural inspiration that seduces and invites you to let yourself go.
