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!

For an early dinner by Spanish time, we started with the croquettes. Crip and wonderful. Then the tenderloin which was taste as well, though we should have a sales what is on the top. It seemed like mostly a flavored fat. The tomato with toast was lovely. Soaked with natural tomato juice. The skewered prawns were the best. Get them. And we ended with coconut pudding. It was like a flan with a coconut base. All together fun and delicious!

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.

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!

Voy a la barra de Sant Cugat cada verano desde 2018 y siempre recibí un trato si bien no…read moresobresaliente al menos fue siempre correcto y respetuoso. Este verano hay una chica terriblemente grosera que parece ser encargada o recepcionista y que se alterna con un chico latinoamericano que lleva años y que es bastante cordial. La primera vez la chica fue agresiva para explicarme que si venía solo y sin reserva mis opciones eran la barra o una mesa en la ventana con el sol a tope. Aunque no me gustaron sus formas, agradecí y preferí irme Hoy decidí ir únicamente a tomar una ginebra a las 4 de la tarde, le pregunté si todavía era posible, me dijo que si y después la misma dinámica, Barra o Mesa asoleada... Debido al horario habían muchas mesas vacías y le pregunté si podía ocupar alguna de ellas y ahí es donde mi insolencia y atrevimiento de pedir algo fuera de su "guión" despertó su ira. De pésima gana me dijo que esperara por que tenía que limpiarla y cuando ofrecí sentarme en una limpia para no molestarla se abalanzó sobre la mesa en cuestión a limpiarla ente resoplos y palabras inaudibles que supongo no serían demasiado cariñosas. Le dije de la manera más amable posible que con esas formas y de mala gana prefería mejor irme Y así lo hice. No pretendo afectar a este negocio ya que como dije, su servicio siempre había sido correcto pero si es hacer conscientes a los dueños/socios/responsables de "La barra de Sant Cugat" sobre este hecho que al menos a mi me obliga a no volver. Suerte

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.

Can Cortada is a long metro ride to the northeastern edge of Barcelona next to the Collserola…read moremountains. It is situated in an old regal Catalan farmhouse. The highlight of the meal are the calçots, but the other Catalan dishes are also knockouts. The service is top notch as everyone is extremely eager to please, and won't hesitate to help you. Calçots amb Romesco: The calçots are so popular that I don't think they are even on the menu. Hold up, what exactly are calçots anyway? Calçots are large green onions that are longer than your arm. They are in season from November to April, so your time your trip accordingly. They are grilled over a wood fire and then served on a clay rooftop tile. The hostess knew we didn't know what we were doing, so she had a waiter provide a demonstration. Put on your bib and gloves. First, you have to hold the calçot by the green top. Next, you take your other hand and pull the blackened outer layer downward. Vertically dip the calçot into the orange romesco sauce and then lower the calçot into your mouth and take a bite. Each order has about 20 calçots, so you will have time to practice through repetition. The core is juicy, soft, and creamy with a really mild subtle onion flavor. The romesco sauce is composed of tomatoes, red bell peppers, almonds, hazelnuts, and garlic. The sauce is so delicious with the calçots that you want to hoard it for the other dishes. If you do this correctly, there will be charcoal and romesco stains everywhere. Escalivada: Another Catalan favorite is escalivada, which are long slices of red bell peppers and eggplants with olive oil, garlic, and salt that are grilled in the embers of a wood fire. The vegetables are silky smooth and soft from slow cooking. There is also a small round of soft crumbly goat's milk cheese that has been brûléed on top for a nice sharp contrast of flavors. Butifarra de la Garriga: Catalan pork sausage is grilled and served with tender white beans, garlic, and parsley. It is a really simple dish, but it is extremely comforting and delicious. Canelones de Carne Tradicionales Gratinados: In a cast-iron pan, the crepes are filled with shredded pork and rolled up into a cannelloni shape covered with a bechamel sauce and topped with cheese before being heated. The sauce is rich, buttery, and cheesy. Catalan cuisine is now one of all-time favorite cuisines and Can Cortada may be one of the best places to sample it.
