Our first day in Spain was a Sunday, so most places were closed. Yes, it's hard to believe, but…read morethey have their priorities here. Pelai, being in the Hotel Catalonia Ramblas, was thankfully open for business. The staff was awesome and took us without a reservation. We had our children with us and luckily they had a kid's menu (pizza, grilled chicken, etc.). House wine (red or white) was included for free with the meal! They really bailed us out. Then came the food, which was really very good. We ended up getting the tasting/chef's menu. The croquettes were amazing, as well as the jamon iberico and grilled octopus. I wasn't expecting much to be honest, but even average hotel food in Spain is 10x better than anything you'd get in the States at half the price. It came out to about 100 Euros. Definitely worth a look.

The menu has some very interesting cocktails that are delicious and if you're not into cocktails, the vermut is a great option as well. The bartenders are very friendly and helpful. The ingredients are top notch-- in fact in 2022 when I came 2 days in a row I could not get the Lolita on the second night, because they ran out of passion fruit juice. Can't wait to go back next time I'm in Barcelona

Owner was super friendly and expressed an interest in going to US to do Route 66 tour one day. He recommended the snails and the Croquettes fried things that you can find at every Spanish place. I am not a huge fan of these but his supposed won some award for being the best. We ordered both based on his suggestion. The snails were fantastic and the croquettes were good too. Portion sizes were good for tapas and he suggested that for 2 people we only order 2 of them. I would have ordered more but glad we stuck with 2 because they were sizable. Both indoor and outdoor seating available. I thought I took a pic of the snails but cant find it. :(

The first time you go here you may even feel unwelcome. Forget about it. This place has some of the best homemade food using the freshest ingredients you will find anywhere. The owner/cook really knows what he's doing. On our last night here we stopped by late and they were closing. He reopened for us and cooked up what he had. Chances are, if you are a tourist like us, you won't make it here but if you find yourself hungry for home made and are near the Entenca Metro, ask around. Someone will point the way.

However, when paying by credit card, if you are traveling from outside of Spain, make sure to indicate that you wish to pay with Euros. Our waiter took the liberty to choose $US as the currency, which results in an additional 2.5% fee. When I questioned it, he said it was too late and that I should have told him to start. Disappointing experience, which tainted an otherwise 5-star dining evening and resulted in no additional tip to the waiter. Be forewarned.

Six of us had reservations and were seated at probably the best outdoor table at the edge of the restaurant away from the other tables. We lucked out with stunning night views. We skipped starters and ordered main entrees. My Grilled Turbot was moist, tasty and just a few bones. Friends ordered Fish & Shellfish Paella and again wished I had joined their order. It came out beautifully in the pan, and the server plated table side. Delicious! I selected a bottle of Pazo de Rubianes Alberino wine that everyone loved so we got another. We enjoyed a relaxing final dinner in Sitges!

The atmosphere was very nice (perfect for date night) and the food was delicious. My husband got the chicken, and I got the pork, and we loved it all.

It's in one of the smaller alleyways, so there's no bustling foot traffic parading by. Highly recommended!!

It wasn't too crowded, the server spoke English and the prices were more reasonable than other restaurants in the area. The décor was comfortable and inviting.

My friend enjoyed the fish in a tomato sauce.

This restaurant's one saving grace was the food.
