I came here to eat a daily menu, which was very good. I ate green peas cream with pieces of cured sausage as first dish, brewed offal (menuts in Catalan) as second dish, and nougat ice-cream as dessert. Also I drank two glasses of red wine of Montsant which was good. The staff was very friendly with me and really it was a very comfortable place. (see also Museu del Ter and Plaza Fra Bernadi)

A quick search on TripAdvisor found us this little gem off the market-place and we were absolutely delighted. Here I discovered melon soup with serrano ham and have been trying different recipes trying to re-create this little taste of heaven ever since! Hubby had a light pasta and I had a salad main with marinated tomatoes, every bite was more delicious than the next. The staff did not speak one word of English and trying to order in pocket translation-book Spanish was a trial but fun. After lunch take a walk around the local food market to see some rare and interesting local delicacies like bull's testicles!

The decor is smart and different, a collection of furniture and lighting that, like the restaurant itself is individual and original. It is a cooperative project and that includes the ethics of inclusion and sensitivity to ecology and sustainability. The staff are friendly and care about the project. As it is a relatively new place I am sure it will go from strength to strength, It is away from the main tourist track, but if you are passing it will reward a stop to sample their delicious dishes.
