dining reco needed for side trip along way from Barcelona to Cardona

[weezy1074]

We've booked a room in a Parador in Cardona, and will drive from Barcelona on Mon 11 May and return to Barcelona on May 13th. I'm looking for suggestions (dining or otherwise) of side trips along the route to Cardona - it doesn't need to be a direct route as it is a short drive (1 hr 20 min or so).
If anyone has a suggestion for a restaurant in Cardona I'd love that as well. (We'll dine in the Parador one night - as we've found restaurants to be very good in Paradors.)
Thanks!
