We happened upon this place while walking around Tarragona on a Friday night. It was one of the few…read morewe passed that looked really lively so we figured it would be legit. (Note: we came during the off season). Both levels of the restaurant were full and there were even some people eating at the bar downstairs. Our waitress recommended the Iberico secret (pork), which was really good. Hubby particularly enjoyed the fried fish. My favorite was the foie gras with quail egg on toast (under the "hot sandwich section"). The English translated menu doesn't quite do the food justice but everything was very yummy. I even broke a wine glass and they were very nice about it. I had initially planned on something fancier for our last meal in Spain but I really enjoyed this. It's also super affordable!

We asked a local for their recommendation of a restaurant that shows off local produce. She proudly…read morerecommended us to Almosta - even handing over their business card which she keeps in her wallet. The first night we arrived and could not get a table as they have two set service times; the 8:30pm and 10:30pm - we booked for the following night. As 8:30 approached we found ourselves twiddling our thumbs eager to get to the restaurant and see what this little gem had to offer. You can tell we aren't Spanish as bang on 8:30 we arrived to the restaurant and found ourselves the only ones.... This was a blessing in disguise as it meant we had the host all to ourselves to which he translated EVERY dish on the menu and talked us trough the various wines they had available. We tried quite a few of the dishes including my favourite - the pop roquer, a large piece of succulent octopus served on a bed of mashed potatoes. I also enjoyed the Durham cat which was a thin wrap of spinach, pine nuts and cheese. Everything we ordered was immaculately presented, with tastes to match - my only issue was that it ended ;) Give it a go when in Tarragona!

We did because the reviews were so great, and sooooo true. Food gets 5 STARS no doubt. Clams AMAZING delicious sauce, and perfect for dipping that bread. Tomato salad a MUST, soooo good and fresh. Octopus was delicious, and the potata Mallman also a delight. And the pork was just ok, but the sauce it was in, I loved!

Very unethical establishment and they yell at patrons if you do not like what they serve. In my case, I ordered gas water however they brought me flat water instead & a raw tuna ceviche, which was only mediocre at best. Lacked flavor & tuna was pale pink, not red like one would have expected. I was charged €20 which is absolute extortion in this part of Spain! Simply put: They prey upon tourists. Skip this place, it's not worth the aggravation.

Had lunch here with friends while in town, another unique restaurant inside the old walls of…read moreTarraco. A small eatery, with a few tables and chairs inside as well as out, with a heavy wood open beam ceiling and stone wall interior. We were greeted walking in and told to take a seat. We grabbed a table by the interior wall. Our servers were both professional, not overly friendly or fast but they did make sure we had what we needed. Seafood, and local produce are whats on the menu here. A concise menu with a focus on local and sustainable cuisine. Crispy local fish appetizer is where we started, small fish of various sizes lightly battered and fried crisp with head on. Crunchy little treats, like eating chips but little fishes. Very good and a nice start. Salad of mixed greens with smoked cod fish was our next tapa, a nice mixture of greens with a light dressing of evoo and tender chunks of smoked cod. I thoroughly enjoyed this dish. It was light, fresh and quite tasty. Enough to share as well. Creamy rice with clams, squid and a savory red pepper sauce, was our final entree. A large cast iron pot of local seafood with tender rice, a generous portion and was more than enough between the three of us. We could not finish it all. A small eatery, up inside the walls of old Tarraco. With good local cuisine, and definitely worth the effort to find. 4 Stars a solid meal 01225

We were greeted walking in and told to sit where we liked. Our server came by a few minutes later with menus. After a couple minutes to go over the offerings, we started with a bowl of the local olives. Always a good start and a generous serving that was plenty to share. I opted for the mediterrean salad, with egg battered calamari. Both were very good. The salad a nice mix of greens, tomato, olives, pickled asparagus and onions, sweet red pepper, boiled egg and tuna. The salad was fresh, flavorful and filling. The egg batter fried calamari was golden brown and flavorful. A coffee to finish, after the meal was a great leisurely way to end. Sitting in the sun, taking it all in while enjoying a meal makes Quattros a decent choice. 3.5 Stars rounded up for the location and outdoor seating 01067

Okay mixed review here…read more First, the patatas bravas here we're the best I had while in Spain! The serving size was great for sharing or for a really hungry person. The potatoes were perfectly crispy on the outside and whatever the sauce was that topped them was delicious. Wish I went back and had them again! The croquettes on the other hand were not my favorite, I had hoped to have some meat stuffing on the inside but I believe they were out. So we opted to have it with cheese and the cheese was very interesting, very tangy and liquidy so it was optimal to eat it in one bite, but the cheese was so rich. Quattros is located in a great area of Tarragona, has good amount of outdoor seating, and you can tell it's popular by how it fills up. Would come back, just wouldn't recommend the croquettes solely with cheese.
