Back in the 1970's my family would frequent La Oca time and time again and the roasted chicken was…read moreexcellent. We have not lived in Spain in over 1/2 century and it was great to revisit Sitges, and see La Oca thriving after all these years. The service, the ambiance and the pollos al 'ast will not disappoint! Talk about consistency for more that 57 years! Muy bien!!

There's just something about the sight of plump chickens rotating slowly on a rotisserie spit,…read moreespecially when there are rows of them with the aroma of roasted poultry wafting onto the street. It was the first evening for Jamie W. and me in Sitges, and that particular combination of sights and smells drew us to this popular spot for a comfort food dinner. No surprise that each of us ordered the 5,95€ 1/4 Roasted Chicken. It was interesting that we weren't given a choice as to which quarter it would be. Fortunately one plate was a half breast (photo: https://yelp.to/lg3pnrOuCw) and the other was a leg and a thigh (photo). Since Jamie prefers white meat while I like dark, that worked out fine. We needed French Fries, so we got them on the side for 3,5€ each. They were on lukewarm side. We split the 9,25€ Salade Nicoise for a veggie-adjacent complement. It had all the requisite ingredients - anchovies, tuna, egg, peas, lettuce, tomato, onions - but the execution was just OK (photo: https://yelp.to/K4g6_Opgeu). I got the chicken I wanted, hot and juicy, so it was all good. FOOD - 4 stars...rotisserie chicken works in any country AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...bustling and crowded SERVICE - 3 stars...long timers, no smiles TOTAL - 4 stars...hot and juicy does it all the time RELATED - Exploring Barcelona and Sitges?

We were delighted to find this excellent elegant steakhouse within close walking distance of The…read moreOne hotel in Eixample. Many restaurants are closed on Sunday evenings, but we were lucky enough to snag early dinner reservations on a balmy evening in May. As we settled into our booth, our waiter Marco stopped by for our drinks order while we perused the menu. I asked Marco if he knows what a Lemon Drop is (not every restaurant in Spain does) and he said, "Of course!" Boyfriend ordered his usual very dry martini, up with a twist. First up was the Mr. Porter focaccia bread with a hummus, herbs, olive oil and yogurt dip, a different bread choice from most steakhouses and really fresh and good. Next was the Taboon Roasted Foie Gras, which was flavorful, rich and perfectly cooked. We ordered steaks, peppercorn sauce and a side of the Black Garlic Broccoli, perfectly cooked and just wonderful. Marco was so funny and sweet and attentive. He took a photo of us to remember our trip by. This is among the best steakhouses we've visited worldwide. We will definitely return on our next trip to Barcelona.

Omg! If I could give more stars I would. Everything was to die for. Service was amaze. Our waiter…read morewas Stefano and he well deserved what extra tip we left him. Ambiance was romantic as hell. Loved it. Great conversation with the people who sat next to us as well. Drinks and wine were good. The waiter recommended them. I had the After and a glass of a full body red.
