An enterprising local named Martin runs the front of the house, and his cousin mans the kitchen. Populated with local regulars, the restaurant cast good fortune upon us as we landed a bar table just about five minutes after we arrived. We ordered the 19,5€ pitcher of refreshing Sangria because neither of us are heavy duty wine drinkers (Photo 7). We shared three dishes all impeccably prepared and generously portioned. The first were the 8,5€ Padron Peppers (Photo 10). They were perfectly charred and blistered as we munched on them nonstop throughout our meal. We must've dodged the tongue-numbing ones entirely. The second dish was the 7,9€ Our Bravas presented as their in-house take on patatas bravas (Photo 6). Coincidentally, we had a similar rendition at a paella restaurant in Valencia just the evening before. The potato chunks were perfectly tender. Laminated in olive oil, they were covered in a thick tomato sauce and drizzled with a rich aioli. The scene stealer, however, was the entree, the 17€ Argentine-Style Grilled Skirt Steak prepared medium with a side of homemade potatoes (Photo 8). We don't eat red meat much, but they did such a fine job tenderizing the meat that it became meltingly good. We were so overwhelmed by the portions we did the unthinkable on vacation, asked for a takeout box for our leftovers. Surprisingly, it was Jamie who encouraged us to order a shared dessert, the 8,5€ Charcoal-Grilled Brownie with Amaretto Toffee and Vanilla Ice Cream. Hot off the grill, it was quite a treat with the ice cream holding steady against the melting brownie (Photo 9). A superb meal.

As we rolled our luggage on the cobblestone paths of central Sitges, we spotted this modest looking Italian restaurant who were still serving lunch under umbrellas in the alley. We could tell it was a spot targeted to the locals, but we were pleased they had menus in English. We kept it pretty light and fortunately made fine choices on the three dishes we ordered. The first was the refreshing 13€ Salad of Tomatoes, Burrata & Basil which was actually topped with fresh pesto and accented with sun-dried tomatoes (photo: https://yelp.to/mBJukgpr04). The burrata was a tad refrigerated but still creamy. Our next dish was the thinly sliced and nicely prepared 12€ Eggplant Carpaccio. Topped with pesto, shaved parmesan, pine nuts, and arugula (photo: https://yelp.to/CQDyy1BiCW), it was the ideal light veggie appetizer. Our shared main was the 17€ Spaghetti Agliolgio with Prawns. It was a simple yet satisfying dish where the pasta is tossed in garlic, olive oil, and a pinch of chili flakes. The prawns were skewered with roasted cherry tomatoes (photo: https://yelp.to/OOGRdaT_wt). It was the right amount of food. Now where's that hotel?

They have a really great menu for tomorrow but we ordered for their regular set menu and shared the starters. We started with the mussels, carpaccio and oysters (had an up charge), liked them all but probably would not get the oysters again. The mussels were plentiful and the carpaccio had Parmesan cheese sprinkled on. The steak was okay, the salmon was outstanding and perfectly cooked! I always worry going out that it will be overdone and dry but this was perfection!! The lobster rice was delicious. Lobster was over cooked but the rice was good. Glad we shared! Tiramisu and apple tart for dessert. Will definitely go again

I'm still not sure how that place pertains to Spain, but the cafe in Sitges is part of the Federal chain, one of seven in the country. Close to the beach, this bustling cafe was just across the street from our hotel, so it was easy to start our day here. Their "Earlier" menu was chock full of goodies from açaí bowls to breakfast plates to burgers. Jamie W had the 10,5€ Morning Vegan Burger, a Beyond Meat patty encased in a brioche bun with lettuce, tomato, Spanish onion, and chipotle aioli. It came with a side salad and a ramekin of sweet potato mash (photo: https://yelp.to/5aPDsfdKx3). The meat adjacent option always concerned me, but Jamie really liked it. The mash was quite delicious. I indulged myself and ordered the 8,9€ Fluffy Pancakes which was topped with banana, marscarpone, maple syrup, and hazelnut praline (photo: https://yelp.to/g7xNbWnFD4). Needless to say, it was a decadent, calorific delight. The 2€ Americano was the only response I had to the intense sugar rush (photo: https://yelp.to/kl7wONxiXG).

The ambience is great, and the presentation of the food is really nice as well. Biggest issue was the taste, the pancakes tasted both a bit undercooked and tough at the same time. Eggs Benedict lacked a lot of flavor and the hollandaise sauce left a lot to be desired. The iced latte's however, were really good, and came served already iced, a rarity in Sitges.

Jamie W and I are usually a bit wary of the restaurants on Sitges' main seafront promenade (Passeig…read morede la Ribera) because it usually signals a tourist trap. However, we got lucky when we ambled in here as a backup choice to Chiringuito, the popular seafood spot right on the beach. Google Maps misled us into thinking Chiringuito was open for dinner, but it was dark, so we just walked over here. We tried four dishes starting with the 8,8€ Fried Eggplant with Honey & Sesame (Photo 10). Sliced as thin as a ping pong paddle, the eggplant was a vessel for sweet and savory flavors. Next came the 6,6€ Tapa of Smoked Sardines, small open-faced sandwiches much like pizza squares topped with salty sardines (Photo 7). Our bigger plates followed with the 16,2€ Burrata Salad. It consisted of a nice size ball of soft cheese topping a bed of arugula and chopped, assorted tomatoes (Photo 6). The salad was also a refreshing transition to the 13,9€ Spaghetti Puttanesca Style. The pasta was pretty standard, but the sauce was definitely an authentic mix of tomatoes, olives, capers, anchovies, garlic, and chili flakes topped with grated Parmesan (Photo 9). Just a nice blend of flavors overall.

There are two sections, the restaurant with full menu, and the ultra casual, crowded cafe which has sandwiches, snacks and drinks (and most times a wait for a table). Our coffee break always transformed into eating sandwiches and tapas. The Pimientos de Padròn (grilled peppers) in olive oil were tasty. They look like hot chili peppers but taste more like shishito peppers. Tuna sandwiches were ok. Coffee, lattes and Cortado hit the spot. We were amazed watching the cafe servers memorize orders from so many tables to cover, especially as they were constantly stopped by different customers while walking back and forth. La Caleta is a nice beachy spot when you need a sun break. There is only one other outdoor cafe you can go to that is steps from the beach. Just remember to put some clothes or a swimsuit on LOL.

Jamie W and I didn't doff our own skivvies, thank goodness, but we were thirsty. Anyway, it was a good thing this patio restaurant was conveniently on the beachwalk. We let them know we only wanted to quench our thirst, so they seated us on the fringe of the patio. It was a no-brainer for us to order the €19.30 pitcher of Sangria which of course hit the spot on a particularly balmy day (Photo 8). The veteran female server was hovering over us trying to encourage us to order food. We weakened and ordered the €2.70 bag of Potato Chips and the €3.80 Castelvetrano Olives (Photo 10).
