Barcelona (E)
A lovely place, but a bit expensive in comparison: Restaurant Maricel (28. July 2024)
The Maricel is apparently the best restaurant in Sitges, so, I was curious to experience it. They offer a regular à la carte selection as well as the “Maricel Tasting Menu” (EUR 85.00), which I decided to give a shot. The menu started with “Strawberry Gazpacho”, which was surprisingly nice, but had more the flavour […]
Not bad in terms of food, but disappointing in terms of service: Restaurant Pasatempo by Sabàtic Sitges, Autograph Collection (28. July 2024)
Time for a small snack after a day at the pool – so, the Pasatempo was great. Located one floor below, nice coolness inside, and somewhat the feeling that the service might have improved. Wasn’t entirely the case. I went to get the menu, so I could check what to order, and order the following […]
Surprisingly good food, but not functioning aircon and website, making it hard to book here: Restaurant Contrastes by Diego Ferreira (27. July 2024)
Booking a table here is a bit of a challenge – I tried calling and no one picked up. I tried booking online, but it seems like their website doesn’t work. So, frankly, if it wasn’t one of the few Guide Michelin options around Sitges, I would not have bothered. Given it was, I decided […]
Lovely lunch offering with great dishes: Restaurant El Pou (27. July 2024)
The start at the El Pou was a slow one – you would have to wait quite a bit until you could place your order. And, for some weird reason, one waitress was only allowed to take orders for beverages, so, obviously, you had to wait until the other one was available (which is something […]
Decent breakfast selection, but very varying service quality: Restaurant Pasatempo by Sabàtic Sitges, Autograph Collection (27. July 2024)
The breakfast buffet at the Pasatempo in the Sabàtic Sitges, Autograph Collection is quite fine – it is nothing extraordinary, but it has a decent selection of cold cuts, including jamón and cheeses … … as well as hot dishes like tortilla, sausages, eggs, and bacon … … as well as a rather nice selection […]
Absolutely outstanding service and great starters: Restaurant Komokieras (26. July 2024)
Given they had quite a few things on their ‘daily menu’, I was curious to try what was fresh from the ocean. Hence, I went for the “navajas” (EUR 18.00), which were great in terms of flavour and taste. So, definitely a good start. The “scallops” (EUR 16.00) were exquisite as well. Definitely something you […]
Disappointingly slow and inattentive service: Pasatempo Bar by Sabàtic Sitges, Autograph Collection (26. July 2024)
The picture is a little misleading, as the place is actually not as relaxing and pretty as you would think it is. The atmosphere is rather industrial, resp. not too appealing. On top of that, the waiter who attended me that day was somewhat asleep. He passed the table like five times before he was […]
An absolutely delicious find – and even open on Sundays: Restaurant Gresca (24. March 2024)
The last meal in Barcelona for this time was a great find. Not necessarily a place you would just walk into, but definitely a place you should walk into. The place is basically an U-shape, which makes it a bit special in terms of seating, but – and I was lucky – if you manage […]
