Stumbled upon Vinitus after doing a night tour of Casa Batllo!…read more
We came here for dinner & had no trouble getting a table for two.
We ordered these tapas to try:
- potatoes bravas
- cod with honey aioli
- fried anchovies
- fried squid, cuttlefish, & small fish + peppers assortment
- Iberian ham + chicken croquetas
- lobster rice
- beef tenderloin w/ foie gras
Dessert:
- mini ice cream sandwiches
- fried banana crème brûlée custard
Our server was very nice & patient with us! He spoke pretty good English but didn't know what the English menu names for the dishes translated to in Spanish, so there was a slight mix up with some of the dishes we wanted to order haha. Fortunately, we were able to figure it out with him & got the we wanted.
The food is actually quite good for a more touristy spot. After trying bravas from a couple different restaurants, this was still my favorite! Not dry at all & the sauce was good.
We didn't realize that the fried seafood assortment also included anchovies lol, so we had a lot of anchovies to finish!
They were lightly fried & salted.
The star of the show for us was the cod with honey aioli... OMG, SO GOOD! We had to place another order! Now, I can understand why this is one of their most popular dishes.
The fried banana crème brûlée custard was another highlight! This dessert was amazing.
What I wouldn't recommend: the lobster rice.
It had the smallest sliver of lobster & was mostly all shell for flavor haha and the rice was a bit hard to eat.
