This was recommended by friends awhile back, I remembered the modern ambiance, amazing Tapas, friendly service and the place was as busy then until now. For this big restaurant caliber, it's pretty crowded yet they do a good job with a fast turnaround. We did the early Dinner and by the time we got out there was already a long line for late Diners. The fact that even after a decade, it's rare that I go back to the same spot let alone they're still around after all these years. You already know that tells a lot and I feel bad for those who didn't have the same great experience, hope they give it another shot. See y'all soon! Salut, Vermouth!

This place is just the definition of beautiful, typical traditional Catalan house (Masia) with a…read morefield of olive trees and with very beautiful views of the mountains. The water clock is quite a unique thing they have in their front yard. We've been here few times and the staff is very kind and friendly. The architecture of the house is very cosy inside and the environment is very welcoming. We had a "calçotada", a typical catalan dish which can be eaten from January to March/April. Calçots are some sort of vegetables, made on the fire which are then peeled with your hands and sank in the "romesco" sauce. It is unbelievably good - you won't taste anything similar outside of Catalonia at least for a while. As part of the "calçotada menu", after the "calçots" generally you have meat: catalan sausage, chicken, black sausage, rabbit and lamb with some fries and tomato bread. And as a dessert, "catalan cream" which is kind of the french "crème brulée" but slightly different. Everything is delicious and I recommend everyone who likes to live traditions and food, to go there and have one of these menus!!

Monocle magazine added "Enjoying a calçotada" to their must,must do in your lifetime list of…read moreexperiences. I would say that this beautiful, traditional "masía" is a perfect place to do it! Calçots are Catalan spring onions which you can have from late January to early March (roughly), they're grilled (more like "set on fire", haha) to perfection and brought to the table charred. Any local will tell you how to enjoy them: take it with your hand and then press the stem just above the root. You'll feel it "snap". Grab the leaves and take the sweet, steaming onion in the middle out of the charred outer part. Dip it in Romesco sauce, which is made with hazelnuts, olive oil and paprika... then throw your head back and put it in your mouth just the way you would swallow a sword. The combination is absolutely delish! And in Can Traver they know what they're doing: not only the place is amazing --I particularly enjoyed the yard with the very old olive tress-- and packed with Catalans eating what seems like a national dish (calçots) in the very specific and utterly funny way that they're eaten, but it will also make you feel like you stepped back in time. I mean in in the best possible way!

I decided to invite my brother for a 'menu of day' in a recent visit to my birth town and was thinking the classic 10-12 euros menu. This place is pricier for the menu of the day, that normally consist in appetizer, main course, desert, wine and water (plus in most cases bread with tomato). However, for 20 euros per person we had a total feast, plus it was a Thursday so we paid a little bit more and got the seafood paella (Thursdays is usually paella day for them and at other restaurants as well). Simply amazing the amount of food and the quality of all we got. Happy me I got a to-go box (even if I had to deal with the embarrassment of my brother, not used to take leftovers home, as it is still not well considered in Spain). Everything we ate was excellent, including an awesome red wine. The atmosphere is super chic, you feel like you are more in an Art Deco set of a movie than in a Mediterranean-Catalan style restaurant. Service was super attentive, fast, all dishes were hot, delicious, abundant and, definitively, to remember.

Truly an unforgettable meal and experience.

Everything about El Cul was divine. The appetizers (Moroccan salad, pumpkin soup, and meat selection) were tasty and just the right portion. The artisanal bread did come with a 1.10 supplement fee - kind of tacky but entirely worth it. And the olive oil? Good grief that stuff is liquid gold. Get the bread for the olive oil alone! My lamb shank entree was a very hearty serving and cooked to perfection. Crispy on the outside and succulent in. My friends had the chicken cannelloni which was much more petite yet still delish. (Save your pasta ordering for Italy. They do great rice dishes in Spain and this was tasty, but vai a Italia per la pasta della nonna!) Other friend's sea bass was cooked to perfection. Chocolate desserts, oh my! Yup, get those too.
