For dessert, the lemon gelato and cinnamon cake. EVERYTHING was amazing! The fish and lamb melted in your mouth. Very inexpensive for such high quality food! €108 for 6 people.

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!

Walking down the street on Rambla and a "Huge Line" has gathered outside Cerveseria Catalana…read more Something special must be happening here to have this big of a crowd waiting. My son had been here last year and thought, it was a solid. We put our name in, went to a nearby park bench to wait and watch people for 50 minutes. The servers outside are grumpy as to many people are crowding the sidewalk and impeding his service. Finally, our name was called, were seated at the bar, and watched a chef make the magic dishes. The menu is huge and I can't help but watch the delicious dishes flying by us. So little time and yet so many great choices, this won't be easy. We began with the beef tenderloin montadito foie gras. It was presented as a open face sandwich on a bagette. We split it as it had a huge piece of foie gras. The tenderloin was tough and the tapas tasted like indivdual components, not a blended or refined profile. The grilled razor clams were nicely cooked, slightly gritty and needed to be washed more thoroughly. The Spanish omelet wedge was spiritual, dish of the night award. The onion made the dish! The sliced fried artichoke was finely shaved, and again lacked a enjoyable flavor that I would order again. The chips with fried eggs and Jabugo ham was different, tasty and a concept I would not of thought about. Delicious! Casveseria Catalanahe was packed and stacked for a reason. A high vibe and energy even in the face of a revolt at the check in desk from hungry dinners. I came say without hesitation, we will give them a second try. The staff was friendly, engaging, warm and a good sense of humor, nothing but smiles. I can't wait for our next trip to Cerveseria Catalana and let them tell me what to order. Good luck and see you sooner than later.

What a delight!…read more While spending a day in Vilanova i la Geltru with friends, a local recommended this place to us. It is, without reservation, the best waterside restaurant I've had the pleasure to visit since moving to Spain more than two years ago. While many of the dishes are traditional, they *do* have a wonderful twist on many recipes... from tapas (like patatas bravas - what a sauce!) to their casera (homemade) dishes, like their various paellas. Our group opted for a half dozen different tapas (the calamares a la roman were my favorite), and then we shared the "arroz pulpito" paella. Truly outstanding! (...and if you know me, you know I don't use that word lightly.) So - if you're anywhere near here, come check this place out. You won't be sorry!

I fully recommend it! This restaurant has very original and good different types of paellas (we…read moretried 7 of them and the best one in our opinion was the truffle and mushrooms one) but the best were the Tapas... we had the chicken croquetas that were perfectly made, not too saucy not too dry. The chipirones that are little fried squid, my favorite tapa in the whole world and they made it very very good!! And the calamares a la Romana that are the classic squid hoops not oily and very well battered. If you'd like to go during usual Spanish lunch time (2-3) I'd call them and make reservations, they are usually pretty busy.

As the saying goes, when in Spain,…read more..... On my recent trip to Sitges, I was looking to have some authentic local food. Philippe, the manager of my hotel, straightaway recommended Komokieras and rang to make me a reservation - I'm glad he did because it did get really busy in the restaurant. I betrayed my lack of knowledge about local cultural customs by asking for a table at 7. Philippe gave me a sad look and told me that that's very early for dinner in Spain and that the authentic restaurants opened much later. So, I settled for a table at 8.30. Komokieras serves Catalan food and as promised, the clientele were locals rather than the international throngs surrounding the 'international restaurants. However, I was relieved to see menus printed in 4 languages - it was also interesting to learn new words by comparing the Spanisg to English and French. I was offered a free aperitif of cava. Although I don't drink, I didn't want to offend my hosts and politely sipped on it all evening alongside my freshly squeezed orange juice. I also got some lovely mild olives and warm bread as freebies. I was sitted in the nice covered verandah part of the restaurant, lovely with a cool evening breeze though the only slight problem was that some of the diners were smoking in that area. One thing I did pick up in Spain was how many people smoke. As my review started, when in Spain,...... So I went for 3 Catalan specialities - veal sweetbreads, suckling pig and apple bunyols (fritters) I do enjoy sweetbreads and I think I've eaten a whole host of different glands. However, this was the real thing - testicles! They were given a wonderful charred crust and served with a line of blasamic vinegar and bread with a tomato topping. I loved the creamy texture of the sweetbreads. The suckling pig was a little more boney than expected - I had to dig into some of my latent surgical skills to dissect some of the meat but it was plentiful. The pork was succulent but still falvoursome despite the young age of the pig. It came with mash that was a little dry buty lovely grilled courgette. The apple bunyols were quite light and served with coconut ice cream. Good end to the meal. I left, happily fed and satisfied that I'd tried some Catalan food on my travels.

Traditional Catalan comfort cuisine in Sant Sadurní , the heart of Cavas country (the preferred…read moresparkling wine of Spain). This charming family style restaurant is located in the center of the town and a must stop when you make a trip to Cava country. Here you can taste the best dishes of traditional Catalan cuisine, all accompanied by the great wines and cavas from Canals & Munné . We took the train from Barcelona and met up with our friend César who lived literally down the street . He reserved a table for us and took the reins on ordering and he did not hold back. We got to try a variety of dishes. Upon entering a light whiff of smoke permeates the air as just about the entire menu is cooked using a wood burning grill. We started with the BBQ Calçots in remesco sauce. Calçots , similar to spring onions, leeks, or scallions., are a Catalan delicacy only grown in the Southern Catalonia region from January to March. Char-grilled on a barbecue until the outside leaves are blackened and the inside is soft. The result is slightly smoky and tender green stalk with a very mild herbaceous flavor. Dipped in remesco sauce, it's an excellent accompaniment with a glass of Cava. Iberian Ham with pa amb tomàquet (bread rubbed with tomato and garlic). The ham with a unique aromatic combination of sweetness, nuttiness, and earthiness is fantastic on its own but when rested against the pa amb tomàquet, it's the definitive Catalan comfort food. Another traditional Catalan dish is snails a la llauna, where the snails are cooked in a metal roasting tray on a charcoal grill then dressed with salt and pepper, olive oil and oregano, and then served with an allioli dipping sauce. As a huge fan of escargot, I am no stranger to snails. Here the snails have a mild earthy flavor. Texture is tender with a slight chewiness. The grill added a delightful smokiness. Dipped in allioli it is also another perfect companion with Cava. For main course, I had the Grilled Octopus. Grilled with salt and pepper then drizzled with Spanish olive oil. Besides, Japanese, I can't think of any other cuisine that makes better octopus than Spanish. Not even Hawaiian. Firm yet so tender and the Spanish olive oil added a wonderful velvety mouthfeel that lets each morsel gently slide down your throat. I had a few bites of my friend's Grilled Rabbitt. Very lean with a nice smoky flavor, but it was a bit too simple and dry for my taste. Could've used some fats like olive oil. My friend who had the pork sausages with pinto beans raved about it. He said the sausages were juicy with a nice fennel flavor. The service was excellent and the atmosphere vibed of a country family restaurant with traditional delicious food. We can't wait to come back! Happy Eating!!
