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.

Our main meal was out shortly after. I had the beef tenders and my gorgeous date had grilled cuttlefish. Both entrees were served with roasted potatoes and charred grilled peppers. Yum! Rustic bread rounded off the perfect entrees. Dessert was Catalan cream, an off shoot of creme brûlée but with a cinnamon touch. My date had chocolate orange cake which was perfect. The location is in a lovely turn of road, with views amongst the historical streets of Tarragona. This is a wonderful restaurant with great service. It is open late night making my trip extra magical.

The waitress speaks fluent English and was very knowledgeable of the menu. FOOD: I had the green salad for my first course and it was probably the best salad I've had! The juicy tomatoes, fresh greens, tubed cheese and crunchy onions all came together beautifully with the light dressing! My boyfriend had the mussels which were very fresh and tasty! For the main course, I had the cod with potatoes and my boyfriend had the veal (hard to believe for the lunch price). Everything was delicious and well prepared! The cod was gently baked with a cheesy topping. The portions were very generous and we were really satisfied after our meal. SERVICE: Excellent from start to finish! The waitress did not rush us even though it was approaching their closing time, which was a nice change coming from the US. The restaurant's outdoor patio is a nice place for people watching while taking in the view of the historic Cathedral! I would absolutely recommend this restaurant without any hesitation for its excellent food, approachable menu, great service and affordability!

Tapas menu is a bit expansive for the number of possible tapas, and you must be 2 to order it. Normal menu is not expansive, and you can try a number of various local dishes (fideua, paella, gazpacho ...). All dishes are huge, you'd better be hungry or willing to share with your friends/family. Bread is also included in the normal menu, which is not so common in Spain.

The husband manages food quality and his wife does the cooking. He was so sweet and tried to explain the options to us in English, even bringing out dishes to show us because we must have looked really confused. We started with Catalan soup, and some other creamy dish with salad, which I unfortunately have no idea what it was because it was really yummy. For seconds, we had steak with fries and sardines with tuna. Honestly, the first course was the highlight of the meal, though the seconds were decent. We ended with lemon sorbet and some sort of cake for dessert. Really great deal for the meal.

If you ever come to Tarragona, el Racó de l'abat is a must to eat great food. Reserving a table is recommended.

The restaurant was surprisingly empty, which resulted in excellent service from attentive waiters, who worked very hard to translate things for us. After bread, we got an extra amuse bouche, a fancy duck confit spring roll. For the first course, we were surprised by the ravioli de bacalao, which was not actually ravioli but a salad wrapped in fish tartare. The razor clam dish was delicious as well. The second course consisted of a pork and fish dish, both wonderful. For dessert, hubby ordered the pina colada cake. It tasted great but was overshadowed by the amazing couland de chocolate. I was impressed by the quality of the food and I can only imagine how busy this place gets during the peak season.

Would be great for any event with a Basque country vibe.
