Very unethical establishment and they yell at patrons if you do not like what they serve. In my case, I ordered gas water however they brought me flat water instead & a raw tuna ceviche, which was only mediocre at best. Lacked flavor & tuna was pale pink, not red like one would have expected. I was charged €20 which is absolute extortion in this part of Spain! Simply put: They prey upon tourists. Skip this place, it's not worth the aggravation.

The husband manages food quality and his wife does the cooking. He was so sweet and tried to explain the options to us in English, even bringing out dishes to show us because we must have looked really confused. We started with Catalan soup, and some other creamy dish with salad, which I unfortunately have no idea what it was because it was really yummy. For seconds, we had steak with fries and sardines with tuna. Honestly, the first course was the highlight of the meal, though the seconds were decent. We ended with lemon sorbet and some sort of cake for dessert. Really great deal for the meal.

Small place but definitely worth the stop (from Barcelona to Tarragona). Tiny little town but lovely and right in the centre, so it was quite easy for us to find... The food was just out of this world delicious, purely spanish/catalan and the closest you could ever get to authentic, mix of flavors was great (you'd think some of it wouldn't match but omg, it did). You can tell they "concentrate"on every dish and honestly, i don't know why they aren't more well known cause it is the best spanish food i have tried in a restaurant in like...ever. Totally recommended!

Parking is plentiful and close to the restaurant for easy access. The restaurant is colocated with what appears to be a very tranquil hotel with beautiful gardens. Outdoor seating is available if you would like to just relax with a glass of wine. We were pleasantly greeted at the restaurant door and quickly seated. The restaurant was quiet and tables were spaced to allow for a relaxing and private meal. The facility itself has a very nice layout, although some of the finishes appeared to be a little worn. We were pleasantly surprised at the great value for price point related to the tasting menu. We were offered an amazing variety of flavors. Initially, Our food was brought out rather quickly, courses, arriving before we finished the one on the table. After mentioning this to our server, things seem to slow down a bit and move on a more relaxing pace. There were some really wonderful dishes that were all beautifully presented. We were there midweek for an afternoon meal and had a very nice experience. Reservations highly recommended for this venue.

We were greeted walking in and told to sit where we liked. Our server came by a few minutes later with menus. After a couple minutes to go over the offerings, we started with a bowl of the local olives. Always a good start and a generous serving that was plenty to share. I opted for the mediterrean salad, with egg battered calamari. Both were very good. The salad a nice mix of greens, tomato, olives, pickled asparagus and onions, sweet red pepper, boiled egg and tuna. The salad was fresh, flavorful and filling. The egg batter fried calamari was golden brown and flavorful. A coffee to finish, after the meal was a great leisurely way to end. Sitting in the sun, taking it all in while enjoying a meal makes Quattros a decent choice. 3.5 Stars rounded up for the location and outdoor seating 01067

Okay mixed review here…read more First, the patatas bravas here we're the best I had while in Spain! The serving size was great for sharing or for a really hungry person. The potatoes were perfectly crispy on the outside and whatever the sauce was that topped them was delicious. Wish I went back and had them again! The croquettes on the other hand were not my favorite, I had hoped to have some meat stuffing on the inside but I believe they were out. So we opted to have it with cheese and the cheese was very interesting, very tangy and liquidy so it was optimal to eat it in one bite, but the cheese was so rich. Quattros is located in a great area of Tarragona, has good amount of outdoor seating, and you can tell it's popular by how it fills up. Would come back, just wouldn't recommend the croquettes solely with cheese.

Yet their food service is rather ambitious, and a good buy at 10.50 Euros for a two-course lunch, rotating daily, including wine or soda. We both ordered the same thing: first course, mixed paella. Chicken, mussels, and shrimp (not deveined-- and I presume you know what the "vein" really is). My wife says hers was cold; mine was a reasonable serving temperature. Second course: A big chicken leg and breast; a bit pink inside, but otherwise good. Accompanied by somewhat greasy fries. Dessert was ice cream in a plastic cup. The waitress (non-English-speaking; but then, why should she be, in a place pretty clearly not expecting many Anglophone tourists?) got the next table's order wrong; but the hostess or owner or something, with better English, quickly straightened things out. Full bar. TV tuned to the Spanish version of Wheel of Fortune. One-person men's room didn't lock, and there was a cockroach, just one, bustling about its innocent business.
