They did bus the tables to seat people with a noticeable quickness. They have a rotating daily menu that changes the specials each day. We ended up here 3x and each time had different foods. Some evenings we enjoyed make the others so it'll depend on what menu items you get each day. Food came quick, service was prompt, and prices were more than reasonable.

Truly an unforgettable meal and experience.

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!

Most places here in Barcelona prefer reservations but as we walked around town we couldn't pick a time. We settled upon an early arrival and lucky for us they had a table inside. Not very many patrons at 6:30 PM so we were immediately seated, table for two. Of course a Sangria for me and a beer for my travel buddy! Cheers. The beer had a lemon citrusy flavor and my Sangria was flavorful, both were very good. We ordered Hummus and Calamari, excellent choices, plenty to share and both were delicious. Highly recommend giving this restaurant a try. Remember service is slower than in the U.S. and our waitperson was the only one handling both inside and outside (only 3 or 4 tables outside).

My first day in Barcelona and I googled great place to eat and stumbled on this absolute gem! Service was great! They speak English BTW The staff were friendly and very helpful! The food was some of the most amazing, fresh, delicious bites I've had. I ordered from the Tapas menu so I could get a taste of more flavors. The portions were much bigger than I imagined tapas being. These were my first! They created a great desire for more! It was hard deciding what to try. They had duck risotto on the daily special menu and I wanted it, but it was a full meal and I would only get to taste that. I will definitely be going back during my two week stay here in Barcelona! Hopefully I will get to try the duck risotto! Highly recommend!!

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.
