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.

    The food was delicious. The restaurant has new owners that just took over. The place needs a bit of a refreshing, but I bet it's coming soon. The food and drinks were outstanding.

    It was a lovely experience the staff was very nice and pleasant, always walking around and checking on everyone. The menu was interesting, you'll find multiple dishes that include both a seafood item and multiple farm raised meats like lamb and chicken. The hummus trio is good, too. I would try it again.

    We were with a group of 7 and the food was very good. We had paella and lots of apps. The chocolate churros at the end also amazing. Sangria was also good. The best part is the manager or the owner was so nice and really made sure to stop by the table and thank us for coming. It was a great atmosphere too. I would go back. We went on business, so we would take clients back or go with friends.

    The service was spot on, attentive but not overbearing. We sat at the bar, our usual choice, and the bartender was friendly and fun to converse with. We ordered seafood paella and were pleased with the timeliness. And the taste!
