*****************
Café-bar and restaurant on the first floor of a former palacio, in the centre of Vilanova, well worth a look for its very impressive traditional décor, featuring elborate wall and ceiling paintings and mouldings. The building was the birthplace of Manuel de Cabanyes (1808-1833), the Romantic Catalan poet, who was an admirer of Lord Byron.
Staff are friendly, and it hosts regular live music and cabaret (with cover charge). There's also a menu whichoffers a decent range of salads and main courses, with some pasta and risotto choices. The food is a little pricier than some other venues, but then you are paying for the surroundings! But they also do a three-course menu of the day for around EUR11, including bread, wine and dessert.
Quality and service are good and the venue is perfect for a romantic meal. A two-course meal a la carte for two, with wine, is about EUR15-25 per person. read more
