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 new owners of Catalan are wonderful! It is a total family affair, and you are welcomed the minute you walk in the door! Mom and Dad greet you as you arrive with big smiles, and son Raphael takes good care of you when you sit down. The food is still delicious and the service is terrific. It is great to have them back!

    Service was not very good. The Paella was not very good. My friends did like the salmon and branzino. Overall disappointing experience.

    We had stopped going a few years ago due to poor food quality. But the new ownership has brought this place back to greatness. Amazing meal and atmosphere. We all loved it and will definitely be coming back.

    New owner really working to make you feel welcome. Menu is the same which is great. Service was exceptional. Would have liked more dressing on the Caesar salad. Glad to hear the happy hour will return after the tennis tournament is finished

    Loved the options to have a variety of tapas and a charcuteries board that we could all share.

    From the time we walked in the door, the hostess was gracious and welcoming. The server was lovely as well and the lamb was off the charts! Definitely returning!

    Food was excellent. Paella Mixta was incredibly flavorful and a good ration of proteins to rice. Branzino was very tasty but small filet portion with just a spoonful of spinach on the side did not justify the price for that dish. The Caramel crème dessert was delicious and a huge hit at the table. The owners were incredibly friendly and truly interest in providing a good experience. We will definitely return
