    This place is on the beaten path but well worth it. Prices are ok (not cheap but not outrageous) and they had me at chickens roasting out front. We love the chicken and all the other menu offerings. Easy for a group to do a big of family style if they want to order a whole chicken (they are not huge) and a bunch of tasty sides. The place is packed and busy during the day but we did not have to wait long, good turnaround time.

    La Oca doesn't look like much from the outside. The entrance is small, rather narrow, and doesn't look like it would lead into much. To one side are 4 racks of chickens roasting on a rotisserie and on the other side a refrigerated meat case. The chickens are pretty much rotisserie chickens, the same as commonly found in many American super markets, but the meats are something else. They are very appealing, look very nice, with large sirloin (known as entrecote, though such is generally a ribeye cut in most places) cuts of veal not commonly found in the United States which was what lured me into La Oca. Upon entering the main dining area I was surprise by its size and pleasant décor. Indeed very nice; rather upscale in appearance. I was given a standard menu in Spanish, English and French along with a daily menu. At first I was going to go for the eel, but finding that it was an imitation eel, went with the sirloin cut of veal which I had seen in their refrigerated case. Though their rotisserie chicken look good and was recommended to me by my server, I decided against it as I figured I didn't travel all the way to Spain to merely dine on some barnyard cluck I could have just about anywhere. My meal came with a rather simple salad merely comprised of some fresh sliced red peppers, lettuce and onion with a few ripe and green olives; nothing special but not bad. As for my veal dish, it came with fries, a roasted red pepper and the veal though grilled hardly had any char to it. However, the flavor was good and the cut tender. Really the best thing about La Oca is the pleasant dining atmosphere and the service of the wait staff, all of whom were properly dress and professional in every way.

    We called on here on our last night after we had enjoyed this place the first time we visited last year. As with our previous visit the service on here is good. There is plenty of waiters to serve and the turnover of tables is at a record speed. I had the 1/2 roast chicken. It was simply gorgeous. Very delicious in deed, you must try this. My partner had a pizza, and he claims its was also delicious. The price of the food in La Oca is very reasonable and that coupled with excellent service warrants the 5th star. This is a very busy restaurant and can cater to larger parties if required. The maitre dee is very welcoming and it's nice to be acknowledged from the moment that arrive. Go visit this place, you will not regret it!

    I'm never disappointed when I eat here, the food is always tasty, great quantity, the matching of the spices to arrive at the desired dish is a work of genius. What seems to be home cooking is there to do a dance of salsa, merengue, and possibly hip hop to your tongue senses and your tummy.

    The steak and chicken were ok but chicken seems a little over done and salty. That is the highlight. Otherwise this is not a dining experience u want to repeat. The sale was iceberg lettuce and too much onion. The sides were fries, tomatoes or mushrooms for 3 to 5 €. The garlic bread was a piece of toast with a piece of raw garlic and a tomato that I had to peel and assemble myself. Not sure if this is a Spanish custom but I was not a fan. Everything was mediocre at best. The lighting was bright and cafeteria like, tables were crowded and food was delivered to your table prior to having tasted salad. This seems like an effort to cattle drive people for profit without any intention of delivering a dining experience. I read the reviews as I sat down and was concerned. It sure what happened that the one reviewer gave it a 5-* rating but the other reviewer was spot on.

    Really great restaurant in the city of Sitges, a small and lovelly about 50 km soth of Barcelona. Traintrip takes about 30 minutes. The is where the barceloneans go on vacation they say. Now back to business. La Oca offers many nice dishes, from meat, fish, pasta and spesially lovely pizzas. The interior is great as well.

    What really pulled us in was the 4 racks of rotisserie chicken they have cooking right in the middle of the restaurant in the front.

    We had dinner at Can Marti based on the recommendation from our hotel front desk. Our first…read moreimpression was disappointing but it turned out to be a good experience. We arrived around 7:30 and it was empty. They asked if had a reservation. We didn't but it was empty. There were way too many servers standing at the door for us to be the only guests. The staff came across stuffy at first but eventually loosened up. We had two waiters attend to us and second provided great service. When I ordered the dessert first, our waiter said he had to check if that could be done. They allowed it but I thought it was weird that he had to ask. We ordered the homemade catalan crema (creme brulee) based on their recommendation and it was delicious. Cole had the chocolate coolant and he enjoyed it. We ordered the Paella con mariscos for (2) and that was enough for the three of us. We also ordered (2) portions of bread. The bread order came with a whole tomato and a whole garlic clove unpeeled. I had never been served that way but "when in Rome". I cut that tomatoes, crushed the garlic, added olive oil salt n pepper and made us a little dip for the bread. When paella came out I was surprised that the shellfish did not come with the shell. The flavor of the paella was really good. We squeezed lemon on top and had an enjoyable meal. At the end of the meal our server brought us some cake (pound cake?) and a sweet white wine to put on top. Perfect end to our evening.

Please stay tuned because our experience is a bit bizarre, and when I say bizarre, I do not mean bad; our experience was absolutely fantastic. It just took an unusual twist. We have been to Mr. Porter twice. The first time was over a year ago, and the second was just recently. The first time had been a very busy day, just seeing all the wonderful sights of Barcelona. At the end of an absolutely fantastic day, we were famished and wanted a great meal and something romantic. After checking local reviews, we decided Mr. Porter would fit exactly what we were looking for. Turning on the GPS, we walked to Mr. Porter and found a very exotic entrance with an intriguing sign and logo. Opening up the large doors and entering the gateway to what was a very exotic even sexy entrance to what would certainly be a charming and romantic experience. At the end of the hallway we stepped through a black curtain to the hostess, a woman completely decked out in a black evening gown. She asked if we had reservations. Fear and trepidation overtook us as we replied no; she smiled and said I have something special for you. She seated us at a large booth in a corner that was ideal for a romantic dinner. The ambiance was perfect, and the candlelight made things even more charming. The service was impeccable and what you would expect from a five-star restaurant. Our dinner that night was absolutely spot on, with us splitting the Porthouse. Perfect char, temperature, and flavor. The wine was ideal and not pricey. Dessert was served on a salt block, which was intriguing. It was enough that we now cook with a salt block at home. As mentioned, service was amazing. Right there at the perfect time never there too much. We finished the night with stars in our eyes. Fast forward to this last trip. Needless to say, we love Barcelona. I mean, who wouldn't! Last time here we stayed at the Le Meridien, and this time we were staying at Sir Victor. Sir Victor and Mister Porter are attached. So when you check into the hotel, you can see into Mr Porter. However, from this view, the restaurant entrance is totally different. Wide open, well lit, and a bar that is now the focal point. It feels different. We were up for an interactive dinner and chose to make a reservation for the chef's counter. Once again, the service was five-star, and the food and the atmosphere were just unbelievable. Oh oh oh soooo good! Engagement at the chef's counter was a special treat. This was so good yet oh so different. We actually thought we were at a different location. We thought it was a second Mr. Porter location in Barcelona. When leaving, we told the hostess we had an incredible evening, and we were glad that we were able to try both of their Barcelona restaurants. She smiled and said we only have one. I was like, no, the one we were at before had this great exotic entrance, red lighting, very sexy; you come through a curtain and very romantic tables. Her smile was bigger, and in professional tones she said Come with me. We followed to a long black curtain; she pulled it back and asked whether the entrance had looked like this. Oh my yes, yes it did! She walked, and we followed. Perhaps you sat here? The restaurant took on a completely different look. We laughed; she laughed. Same restaurant a year later, totally different vibe and appearance. So much so we thought it was a different spot. We can't wait to go back. One of our favorite restaurants in the world. Try it and have your own very unique experience.
