Fantastic Start to a Sitges Vacation…read more My wife had never had a proper tapas meal before arriving in Sitges, Spain. Because of the reviews we saw online, we knew that El Cable Bar was one place that we simply could not miss. Our bike ride to El Cable was easy. There are plenty of places to lock them up on trees lining the streets leading to the restaurant. When you walk inside, it might be busy, as this is a popular place for people who know about the restaurant. We sat down and were immediately served. Price-wise, everything looks good- not too expensive for drinks, and reasonable for the food. Move any closer to the beach, and I'm certain these prices go up by at least 50% for the same or fewer portions. I happily order patatas bravas, a sirloin and eggplant combo, another eggplant tapas, and fingers de pollo. From the tinto de verano to every last tapas, it was all simple, yet delicious. I would highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Sitges, Spain. It's the perfect way to kickstart your vacation.

There were not a lot of people there and we got a good seat at the bar so we could pick and order easily. The food was OK, I liked a cream cheese crab thing with melted cheese on bread and probably would have eaten another, but after my first 3 tapas a nasty little creepy crawly thing was on the counter walking along. It wasn't a roach, it had two eyes together. I tried to knock it off but it suctioned itself to the bar! It stole my appetite and had me running out of there! Food is inexpensive. Service is OK but I'm completely grossed out by the bug, whatever it was! Glass of wine, a beer and 5 tapas came out to about €15.60. However, if I'm craving tapas, I'll likely make a reservation at Guria Taberna instead so we can get a table inside.

Everywhere we went needed reservation, but thank god this place had some space. Felt like a local spot, since everyone around us was speaking Spanish. We ordered the octopus, patatas bravas, pan tomate, and croquettes. I am someone that dislikes potatoes, but wow these potatoes really blew me away. Perfectly sliced and fried, the sauce was also impeccable. The octopus was also very tender and paired very well with the sauce. Everything tasted fresh and crisp, such a great find. Slightly pricier than I expected restaurants to be around the area, but definitely a trendy and worthy spot. Bottled water was also like $1, which was amazing. Atmosphere 10/10 Quite loud, a lot of conversations going on inside, but I enjoyed this vibe. Very lively and young crowd, we fit right in. Great interior decor, a lot of marble and brass details. Service 8/10 They were friendly and happily entertained our attempts at speaking Spanish, a good time.
