On this particular early February day, ir was in the 60's in the shade and plenty warm to dine Al fresco. In addition to overlooking the ruin of a Roman wall, there was also swing music playing and dozens of couples dancing, which added to the festive atmosphere. Prices were very reasonable, and it would be fun to share a bunch of small plates with friends. We had The Wagyu Beef Tartare, the Tortilla Espanola, and Papas Bravas, along with wine and beer, and for four of us, it was a little over €40. We certainly got our value! If I were in Tarragona any longer I would go back again and spend another relaxing afternoon.

(Note: we came during the off season). Both levels of the restaurant were full and there were even some people eating at the bar downstairs. Our waitress recommended the Iberico secret (pork), which was really good. Hubby particularly enjoyed the fried fish. My favorite was the foie gras with quail egg on toast (under the "hot sandwich section"). The English translated menu doesn't quite do the food justice but everything was very yummy. I even broke a wine glass and they were very nice about it. I had initially planned on something fancier for our last meal in Spain but I really enjoyed this. It's also super affordable!

I stopped by fairly early in the morning, seeking only coffee. I was attending a conference at the nearby Universitat Rovira i Virgili. To be honest, I'm not even sure they were open for business -- if not, the person working took some pity on my limited Spanish and served me a coffee. It was your typical European coffee -- sort of halfway between an American coffee and espresso. It was good, but nothing special.

The restaurant was surprisingly empty, which resulted in excellent service from attentive waiters, who worked very hard to translate things for us. After bread, we got an extra amuse bouche, a fancy duck confit spring roll. For the first course, we were surprised by the ravioli de bacalao, which was not actually ravioli but a salad wrapped in fish tartare. The razor clam dish was delicious as well. The second course consisted of a pork and fish dish, both wonderful. For dessert, hubby ordered the pina colada cake. It tasted great but was overshadowed by the amazing couland de chocolate. I was impressed by the quality of the food and I can only imagine how busy this place gets during the peak season.

The first night we arrived and could not get a table as they have two set service times; the 8:30pm and 10:30pm - we booked for the following night. As 8:30 approached we found ourselves twiddling our thumbs eager to get to the restaurant and see what this little gem had to offer. You can tell we aren't Spanish as bang on 8:30 we arrived to the restaurant and found ourselves the only ones.... This was a blessing in disguise as it meant we had the host all to ourselves to which he translated EVERY dish on the menu and talked us trough the various wines they had available. We tried quite a few of the dishes including my favourite - the pop roquer, a large piece of succulent octopus served on a bed of mashed potatoes. I also enjoyed the Durham cat which was a thin wrap of spinach, pine nuts and cheese. Everything we ordered was immaculately presented, with tastes to match - my only issue was that it ended ;) Give it a go when in Tarragona!
