While in Barcelona we had a food tour that took us to Bodega Cala Del Vermut which was a really…read moreunique experience. They have been family owned and operated for decades! They make their own items among the classical vermouth and cured anchovies (we had the 3yr aged) which were packed with flavor. We also tried a non-alcoholic drink called bitter Kas that was truly a fun experience and went well with the other items we had. It looks small from the front but has a nice large decorated seating area just past the counter. The owner is a very nice guy and welcomed us to try anything he had. So glad we visited this Bodega full of history and many stories.

It's a very tiny, family operated restaurant that seats about eight. The tapas dishes we tried here were good, but the real winner was definitely the Sweet Vermut. I highly recommend it.

Fantastic Start to a Sitges Vacation…read more My wife had never had a proper tapas meal before arriving in Sitges, Spain. Because of the reviews we saw online, we knew that El Cable Bar was one place that we simply could not miss. Our bike ride to El Cable was easy. There are plenty of places to lock them up on trees lining the streets leading to the restaurant. When you walk inside, it might be busy, as this is a popular place for people who know about the restaurant. We sat down and were immediately served. Price-wise, everything looks good- not too expensive for drinks, and reasonable for the food. Move any closer to the beach, and I'm certain these prices go up by at least 50% for the same or fewer portions. I happily order patatas bravas, a sirloin and eggplant combo, another eggplant tapas, and fingers de pollo. From the tinto de verano to every last tapas, it was all simple, yet delicious. I would highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Sitges, Spain. It's the perfect way to kickstart your vacation.

It was a Sunday when we visited, a number of places were closed, but this place was welcoming. The tapas were closer to a 3-star rating, nothing we ordered knocked my socks off, toasted bread and ham, or sausage. Good but not memorable. The sangria was simply fantastic and the hit of the visit...we enjoyed an abundant amount of sangria which was served in great ceramic pitchers (Mark K. You could make these on your potters wheel!) Lots of shopping around, but again it was Sunday so we didn't get to enjoy many of the shops.

Make a reservation beforehand, maybe even a month in advance, they are a popular restaurant and will get booked. We were quickly seated by the friendly waitress who explained to us the option of picking the tasting menu. We would set a price that we were willing to spend for dinner per person and the restaurant will provide us with tapas that equals up to the price. We decided on 70 euro each which gave us a grand total of around 15 tapa dishes. This was a lot of food and you bet we were stuffed by the end of the meal! Everything was so delicious, the meat and seafood were all excellent quality. Standout tapas include the sea urchin, grilled razor clams, Russian salad, Iberian ham, tomato bread, foie gras, pork jowl sandwiches and mackerel. Overall, it was an amazing start to our stay in Barcelona and a definite food highlight. If you're willing to shell out on some cash (and why not, you're on a vacation!), I highly recommend Bodega 1900 for a great dinner experience.

Our budget was around 50 euros and we got 16 dishes. It was definitely plentiful enough for us, but we enjoyed every bite. The seafood was fresh and everything was flavorful and balanced. They use high quality and local ingredients here. I loved how they incorporated olive oil and sea salt in most dishes. My favorites were the Spanish sea urchin, foie gras, Iberian loin, smoked mackerel, prawns, razor clams, and fried seabass. Service was great and we had such an enjoyable experience here. It set the bar high for the rest of our trip. Be sure to try the vermouth! It is so smooth and refreshing.

Talk about delicious! This was my first meal during my trip to Barcelona and it did not disappoint…read more Wine and tapas, Bae! Because you know you gotta get some of that when you're in Spain. I'm here to tell you that the tapas were tapa-ing hardcore. They were simply scrumptious! Saw this place during my walk down Rambla de Catalunya. It's perfectly tucked right in the heart of the busy street, and they have a lovely patio area that's right in the thick of it all. Unfortunately, the patio was full and busy, so I opted for a table inside. Definitely wasn't a bad choice. Their interior is so cute and cozy! The Spanish bodega vibes were swarming all over the place. I just loved it. I've learned that the service element in Spain is generally very different from the US. In saying this; don't expect to be wowed by the service here. But the tapas are truly scrumptious! I enjoyed the followed tapas: Grilled prawns - Geeeezuuus! These were mouthwatering! I grew up eating prawns without the heads and skins on, but now I understand why they keep them on here. The prawn heads preserve all of the juiciness and flavors. These were cooked and seasoned perfectly and I could not get enough. Fried potatoes - Amazing! I've had these at Spanish restaurants in the US, but there really IS a difference in the way that they're prepared here. The crispiness is just delightful, but it's the sauces that really did it for me. Not sure what kind of sauces were used (one red and one white) but they added a beautiful taste to these already yummy potatoes. Meat croquettes - Scrumptious! These croquettes have a mix of minced meats inside that are so tender and flavorful. And the breading is absolutely perfect. They paired perfectly with my wine too. Speaking of wine; the Spanish red wine that I had was dynamite! Can't comment on the specific varietal but it was so smooth and silky. I meeeaan... dinner was delicious!!! They set the bar pretty high for the restaurants that followed. Although the service wasn't the best, the wine and tapas most certainly impressed. I'd come back for more of those tasty tapas any day.
