A new bar recently opened in this narrow street, close to the centre of Vilanova. The frontage is rather subtle, so it would be easy to miss when walking past.
La Cau means 'the den' or 'the burrow' in Catalan, and it's a fitting description, in that the small front bar area, with a narrow row of seating, leads onto a larger interior room behind with two TV screens and half a dozen tables. It's all done out in a clean modern décor with old photographs of Vilanova, with a painting of a brown bear above the words 'La Cau'. The toilets were particularly modern and spotlessly clean.
They serve the usual range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic rinks, and there's a basic tapas menu, with a range of hot and cold sandwiches on offer; warm Spanish tortilla sandwiches (in a crusty baguette) were especially nice at EUR3. Beers are around EUR2 for a 33cl bottle. read more
