About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming

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.

    Raphael and his family are wonderful, the service is five-star, and the food is amazing! The fresh baked bread and house pesto set the tone for all the amazing food to follow. Starts with the bread and pesto and if your lucky, ends with a peach empanada. Choose whatever you want in between, and you are guaranteed to be very very happy.

    Overall a really pleasant experience. Service was excellent, and the owner was delightful. The octopus appetizer was one of the best I’ve ever had; the paella was good, and very generous, but too heavy on the paprika for our taste. Very good value for the money. We’ll be back for the octopus!

    I have been to Spain 4 times and I swear this Paella is better than any I had there. The deserts are fantastic and I really appreciate the owner’s care for making the experience great. Please try it.

    This was our first time there but it’s definitely made it to the top of our rotation. The staff here were friendly, attentive and on point with everything. We had a large party so ordered several appetizers (including the hummus trio which was perfection), a variety of main courses and I think we had all of the desert options. They also served bread with olive oil and fresh herbs to start and it might have been the best thing I’ve ever eaten. We all ended up passing plates around the table the entire night because everyone was just raving about how fantastic each dish was. I can’t wait to get back there!

    They have a great chef here. Food is consistently good. Right now they have a $50 3 course prix fixe with generous portion sizes and well worth it. And the grilled octopus on the appetizer menu is outstanding.

    Delicious food! Excellent ambiance! Top-notch service! Great value in our current times! The paella was out of bounds! Can’t wait to return and try something else on the menu! My wife felt acknowledged and validated for her birthday celebration! She had the Chilean sea bass. She usually doesn’t finish her dinner, but her plate was clean!

    We are locals and suggested to another couple to join us on our first visit to Catalan. By all accounts, all four of us enjoyed our dining experience. Three course dinner specials were available and we chose to try them out. All of us were pleased with our selections. The service was outstanding. There is new ownership at this established restaurant and the owners were hands on. The atmosphere is pleasant which added to our experience. Try it out; we will return!
