Nestled on HWY 111 in beautiful Rancho Mirage. We specialize in Western Mediterranean cuisine bringing forth tastes from Italy, Spain, France and Greece while incorporating local and seasonal ingredients. Our Paella mixta and Spanish Tapas are an exclusive experience in the Desert. Indulge in our tender charred deep water octopus, 3 month house made lemoncello, and other guest favorites.

With our beautiful atrium to enjoy during cooler months, complimented by the sweet sounds of George Christian and his live guitar which features Spanish flamenco and a mix of classic rock, Catalan is an experience to be had.

    This has really gone downhill under the new ownership. Half price wine Wednesday used to be really busy but it's been cancelled so the place was dead. Menu has been changed and it's not nearly as good as the old menu. You could tell our server was embarassed about how it's gone downhill so fast. We won't be back.

    Been there 3 times as it’s in my neighborhood and want to support it. 2 out of 3 times was not enjoyable. Although the staff is friendly, the food was not good and it was expensive. Wine by the glass selection was poor.
    Catalan Mediterranean CuisineResponded 5 days ago
    We appreciate your support, and we are going to have a new wine list in the next couple of weeks. Please come back again.

    Catalan Restaurant is a food lover’s paradise! The octopus was tender, flavorful, and cooked to absolute perfection it’s a standout dish. The seafood paella was equally spectacular, bursting with fresh seafood, saffron-infused rice, and rich, vibrant flavors. With impeccable dishes, warm hospitality, and a cozy atmosphere, this spot is a true gem. Don’t miss out book a table today!

    We recently dined at Catalan and were thoroughly impressed by the food. I had the scallops, and they were absolutely divine—some of the best I’ve had in the area. My husband ordered the lamb chops, and he really enjoyed them as well. Service was also friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back.

    The halibut dish served was so dry I could not eat it. Then I got tired of waiting for the second attempt in making the dish, that I asked them to cancel the order since my dining partner had already finished eating. They made no offer to adjust our bill other that take the halibut off. DUH! There were very few people in the restaurant on a Sunday. You can tell the restaurant is on the decline. We will never go back.

    I'm sorry, it did take 10min to re fire your fish. We did our very best to make you happy. I do appreciate your constructive criticism. As the new owner we'll do better next time. Raphael.
