Bosch Rambla Jaume I, 19, Cambrils Costa Dorada, Spain | A
delightful restaurant in Cambrils, just a 5 minute drive from Salou. Famous throughout
Spain for its innovative dishes and more traditional rice dishes, particularly
its arroz negro, a black rice made with squid's ink (sounds - and looks
- disgusting but is actually delicious). Elegant decor but still child-friendly,
especially for lunch at weekends when the restaurant welcomes large family groups
- often with three generations at the table - so if you plan to go for lunch on
a Saturday or Sunday you are advised to book well in advance. Quite pricey,
but well worth the expense. The starters are exquisite, you won't find better
king-sized prawns anywhere in Spain. Innovative creations made with top quality
produce. Wonderful desserts (if you like chocolate, order the warm chocolate cake),
impressive wines, many locally produced (be prepared to be advised according to
what you order), amazing cigar collection (smoking is only allowed in closed off
areas), strong coffee and spicey ginger tea. A meal at Can Bosch Restaurant in
Cambrils is an experience you will never forget. |
| | Casa
Gallau Restaurant C/Pescadors, 25, Cambrils Port. | Cambrils
is not only prettier and calmer than Salou, it also has the advantage of having
several excellent restaurants, and Casa Gallau is another of our favourites. Just
a few minutes walk from the paseo marítimo, so park there. Probably one
of the best seafood restaurants on the Costa Dorada and very popular with locals.
Friendly service in a pleasant dining area set in an interior patio where
it is a pleasure to eat in the warm Summer evenings. The freshest fish and seafood
you can imagine is served quickly and efficiently. Delicious prawns and exquisite
home-made canelonis for members of your party who aren't too keen on fish. Try
their crema catalana for
desert. |
| | Casa
Gatell Restaurant Pº Miramar, 26 Cambrils | Another
seafood restaurant offering outstanding fresh fish and shellfish and excellent
fish rice dishes. Try the arroz con bogavante en cazuela - a lobster rice dish
which has to be tasted to be believed. Excellent prawns of all shapes and sizes,
modern cuisine and exquisite desserts. Another quite expensive restaurant but
again, well worth the effort. The terrace overlooks Cambrils harbour. |
| | Albatros Bruselas,
60 Cala Llenguadets Salou. | Probably
the best restaurant in Salou and ideal for people visiting Port Aventura who don't
want to survive on the kind of poor-quality fast food served at most of the restaurants
in the theme park. Modern and traditional cuisine served in delightful surroundings
in a quiet cove, hidden away from the usual hustle and bustle of Salou. Very good
price:quality ratio. |
| | Restaurant
Merlot Cavallers, 6 Tarragona | Visitors
to Tarragona will be charmed by the attention received in this relatively new
restaurant (opened in 1997) which is considered by experts to have evolved into
one of the best in Tarragona. Modern versions of traditional Mediterranean dishes,
excellent standard of service, interesting layout on three floors. Highly recommended. |
