Groucho's Tapas - Calella

Unprepossessing on the outside but some of the best food we had during our recent Calella visit. Staff were super friendly too. An excellent lunch spot!

We had our best meal here of our holiday. Lovely small little restaurant. The young man that served us was very polite. All the food being served looked and smelt delicious. We opted for the lobster paella for 2. The lobster was picked from the tank fresh. It was amazing

Stopped here for Tapas for early lunch on the one occasion we found space this place was always busy for good reason. Had Bravas, squid, fried fish Chicken croquettes. All delicious good size portions. Beers are served in yard style glasses with wooden stand definitely stopped a few passers by! We found service across Calella extremely inconsistent in some places we were blatantly ignored! Service at Grouchos was very good, attended to quickly, friendky easy to get 2nd Drink, bill etc.

Sat in the back of the restaurant which had an open roof, very cool. Ordered multiple tapas options. The croquets were still cold in the middle, when we said that it was they refried them and brought it back to us. Good sangria, food aioli. We were asked if we wanted “cheese on the side” after ordering the fajitas. We said yes, but actually they added “fromatge 5.95 euro”. Which isn’t what we meant. The “fromatge” was almost the price of an extra tapas dish. We were not asked if we wanted aioli, they just added it to our table (2.20 euro extra). After we ordered drinks, they asked if we wanted bread for the table (2.50 euro). They’re not clear what costs extra, service had 2 servers. The wait was long.

Wow, this is the best Mexican food ever!!! We went for a starter of nachos and mussels and they were amazing followed by chicken kebabs and chicken burritos. There was no disappointment both were excellent the staff were amazing and the service was first class, we are really disappointed as we found it with two night la left, amazing!!
