If you want to treat yourself to a meal at a hotel, we recommend the charming Casa Vilella Hotel. The kitchen staff combines its high professional level with Mediterranean cuisine’s deepest tradition and creativity. This is a place to enjoy and try dishes elaborated with seasonal products of the highest quality, with fish being the star on the menu. Expect to find monkfish with sizzled garlic and clams or the delicious roasted octopus with chickpeas cream, caramelised onion, crunchy crumbs of “Vera” smoked pepper, and green curry and coconut sauce. The seasonal menu offers the possibility to enjoy a special soirée with the best-personalised attention.
Close to the Casa Vilella Hotel is La Zorra restaurant, a bar and grill with a boho-chic layout and a speciality in rice dishes. If you love fresh fish on the day and love an outing around the port, Can Laury Peix is the place to be. It consists of an indoor area with 90 seats and an outdoor divided into two areas overlooking the harbour and a maximum capacity of 220 people. Ideal for an intimate meal or for various celebrations of groups, businesses, farewells, weddings, and other events. The cuisine is Mediterranean seafood-based rice dishes, salads, pasta, paella, noodle, seafood, and grilled meat paired with wines and champagnes. The desserts are homemade, best accompanied by digestive and spirituous liquors in their proper glass. The kitchen stays open every day of the week hour from 12.30 to 23.30.
Located on a small cliff on the sea and adjoining two small coves next to the San Sebastián beach is Vivero Beach Club Restaurant. The venue opens up into three spaces, a mirador, a terrace and a glass-stained restaurant. All the spaces give you views of the blue sea. In 2019, we discovered our favourite pizza joint in the town centre. La Farina 1792 is an artisan pizzeria where the quality of its products, such as the organic flour for its bases, made in a stone oven, is a priority. It is a very Mediterranean restaurant where they prepare some typically Italian starters, such as carpaccio and burrata salad, although they have influences from other countries, such as pizzas made with their own products, such as Iberian ham, mushrooms with sausage, or “cua de bou”.
At El Pou de Sitges, diners get to indulge in a culinary journey where Catalan, Japanese, and Peruvian flavours converge to create a tantalizing array of tapas to share. Immerse yourself in the art of gastronomy as this restaurant masterfully combines these diverse cuisines, resulting in a symphony of flavours that will delight your taste buds and leave you craving for more. Step into El Cable, the ultimate tapas bar in Sitges, where a lively and perfect aperitif awaits you. Since its opening in 1956, the Andrea family’s third generation in business has perfected the art of creating an experience. Indulge in the tradition of sipping vermouth and relish the irresistible flavour of their patatas bravas and renowned tapas such as “Finding Nemo”, whether you enjoy them indoors or sprawled out onto the street.
If coffee is your thing, we recommend getting your shot of caffeine at Mono Cafê. Another top place for specialty coffee is Bloom Coffee, on the other side of the train station in Poblé Sec. Our big favourite is Argentinian Tanto Gusto – serving a range of matcha lattes, chai, smoothies and more. We often see a queue of people ordering their delicious empanadas and then eating them on the beach.
For international dishes, have a look at Thai restaurant Petit Bangkok (we have been big fans since we were introduced to their first restaurant 12 years ago) and newcomer Namaste, rustles up the most flavourful Indian cuisine – hands down the best in town!
We thoroughly recommend going inland from the beach to dine at Pasatempo restaurant in Sabàtic Sitges Hotel. The fish is incredible, as are their rice dishes. The relaxed and sophisticated environment makes it a nice pause from the busy city centre and beach. They also have a lovely terrace and host events, including live music.
