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.

    We have been dining at Catalan for several years and have never been disappointed. The flavors and ingredients are consistently at a high level. New ownership promises to elevate the ambience and offerings while remaining true to the established devotion to excellence.

    We were a party of five that shared several appetizers that were delicious: octopus, hummus trio and olives. The main dishes were all well prepared: scallops/pork chop/seabass and chicken were all outstanding. The new owners are delightful and we will be back!

    Building is old with a Spanish Mediterranean flare inside. AC does not properly cool restaurant on extremely hot day/evening. A swamp cooler is used when enter to assist their AC unit a bit noisy. The service was good and what you would expect if in Europe slower and relaxed so don't expect your meal to come out quickly. Eat your bread with there delicious pesto spread and have glass of "Red Sangria" which is very good. I had the Chilean Sea Bass and wife Paella and both were worth wait. I do recommend dinner here. Two dinners and one glass of Sangria about $105 with tip.

    We reserved our table 30 minutes into opening and there was many items on the menu that were not available that we wanted to try. There was only one server and many tables so the service wasn’t exceptional it took us 20-30 minutes for them to come to our table and we called their assistant/food runner for help and they just ignored us. Other than that the food was good!

    The restaurant was nearly empty when we had dinner on Tuesday night. There were 3 of us. I think one poor guy was playing host, waiter, and busboy. It wasn’t his fault that he didn’t have any help. My Paella tasted burned. My spouse really enjoyed his salmon, and our friend enjoyed his lamb chops.
