What a delight!…read more While spending a day in Vilanova i la Geltru with friends, a local recommended this place to us. It is, without reservation, the best waterside restaurant I've had the pleasure to visit since moving to Spain more than two years ago. While many of the dishes are traditional, they *do* have a wonderful twist on many recipes... from tapas (like patatas bravas - what a sauce!) to their casera (homemade) dishes, like their various paellas. Our group opted for a half dozen different tapas (the calamares a la roman were my favorite), and then we shared the "arroz pulpito" paella. Truly outstanding! (...and if you know me, you know I don't use that word lightly.) So - if you're anywhere near here, come check this place out. You won't be sorry!

I fully recommend it! This restaurant has very original and good different types of paellas (we…read moretried 7 of them and the best one in our opinion was the truffle and mushrooms one) but the best were the Tapas... we had the chicken croquetas that were perfectly made, not too saucy not too dry. The chipirones that are little fried squid, my favorite tapa in the whole world and they made it very very good!! And the calamares a la Romana that are the classic squid hoops not oily and very well battered. If you'd like to go during usual Spanish lunch time (2-3) I'd call them and make reservations, they are usually pretty busy.

I was told by the locals that El Giraldillo makes the best tapas in Vilanova i la Geltru. I cannot…read moreargue! Everything is delicious and everytime my husband and I visit his parents, we always come here for tapas at least once... or twice during our vacation here. It can get very busy around lunch and dinner times, so I suggest going around 5-6 PM when it is very quiet. My favorites are: The sampler platter Pulpo a la Gallega Patatas Bravas Razorback Clams

This is an amazing tapas place here in Vilanova! The absolute BEST place for the famous "patatas…read morebravas" in town and honestly, all the places I have been in Spain and around the world. The service is also incredibly courteous, and very fun. It's a busy place, always, so for lunch come early.

They treat you like Family or a VIP with Connections!…read more Let's be honest, you like it when they treat you like a VIP (Very Important Person) when you eat at a restaurant. That's why you go to some places with that thought in the back of your mind. So let's talk shop. I want to get away, I want to fly away, yea, yea, away from the tourist crowds of Barcelona are the thoughts racing through my head as I plan my next day adventure while in Spain on a beautiful day in May! Where do you go and you have the benefit of your own wheels or other transit?.... If you can try this place to escape the craziness of the big city, do it NOW! This place reminded me some of the great quaint country cottages places I eat at in San Diego, California in the United States of America. Please don't hold that against me...but it was a place that felt "FREE" and "AIRY" from the tourist crowds, but still had plenty of people to feel alive and vibrant. This place was the first time for any of us to visit there. It was found because we needed a place that could accommodate, 2 energetic boys age 9 and 11, 1 medium size dog, and 4 adults. My good friend's wife found this on Google they live outside of Barcelona and she frantically found this on Google. Great location because we could walk the dog on the boardwalk where there are lots of different chiringuitos/guingueta along the way before our reservation and the parking was ideal on a Sunday clear sky afternoon day in May 2015. We had made reservations (to eat outside) but due to the other party's extended stay there was no shade for us under the big canopy outside, so instead they made room for us under the front outside entrance (it has shade) to the building. Wow! That location was even better than where we had intended to be located. Long story short, I thought my friend's brother knew the owner or had some connections; well they didn't as I said this was there first time there. That's why I say," They treat you like family." Now that the outstanding hospitality is discussed, what about the food you might ask. Well, it matched the outstanding hospitality on being a chart topper. 5 stars rating system: (*****) ENTRANTS: Musclos al vapor-Steamed mussels: Black Beauties of perfection no lemons required for me to eat. Lucious. ***** Calamars a l'estil sevillà- Squids Andalusia style: These were fried to golden with a spritz of lemon made my tastebuds do somersaults in my mouth. ***** SEGONS: Fideus rossejats amb cloïsses- Noodles paella: Nice flavor **** Paella marinera-Seafood paella: Very Good.***** POSTRES: Brownie: Is the Best!***** Copa de gelat maduixa: Goblet ice cream**** Pastis de la cass: House cake**** Tip: Try to go there for Lunch, as the prices are 14.95 Euros. Overall score is (5 stars) ***** as I said they made us feel welcomed and the food was very tasty and full of flavor. I hope you experience the Gold Circle VIP Table treatment! This place was great for family and friends and if you can make to this area of Catalonia, you will not be disappointed. Beware, please make reservations as this place fills up quickly and the people we saw enjoyed eating there as much as our group.
