We went here for dinner partly because it was 40meters from where we were staying, and fairly universally known as the best chefs in Tarragona. My experience was no different, the best food I have had in Spain, and that is after weeks in Barcelona with local guides. Our first tapas was the Patatas Bravas, served uniquely as shown, but that did not change the perfection of it taste. The sear on the surface opposite the creaminess of the potato was incredible . Next up was the bbq pork sandwich. It was in quarters and served with wetnaps to encourage you to dive in with your hands. The cheese in this was creamy and delicious and the pork was fantastic as well. Most creative grilled cheese like sandwich I have ever had. Next was the steak frites. Was served fairly rare, but done perfectly. The seasoning and taste was perfection. We ended the meal with two desert tapas. The rice pudding and the 2nd Criadera of ME3 and its desert. Both were excellent and rich. The desert was a duplication of the taste of the sherry in food form. I tried one and the other back and forward and will admit the flavor was spot on. We had a bottle of local Chardonnay as well. A perfect meal in the heart of old town. Very well done
