Mi pareja y yo llegamos al restaurante tras la visita guiada a cartuja de Escaladei. Cabe decir que llegamos sobre las 15:50 y aun cerrando cocina a las 16:00, muy amablemente nos atendieron y nos sirvieron con una sonrisa. Realmente, es importante destacar este tipo de tratos ya que, muchas veces, es motivo por el cual puedes decidir si volver o no a un lugar. Dicho esto, el menú que nos presentaron era un menú casero y tradicional de la zona con productos locales. Los platos que decidimos probar fueron como primeros, la crema de melón con virutas de jamón y la "truita amb suc". Dos platos dignos de recordar tanto por lo bien hechos que estaban como por su sabor tan redondo a la hora de probarlos. Se notaba que eran hechos al momento con productos frescos. De segundo nos decantamos por el pollo con mermelada de peras, pasas, higos y piñones y las carrilleras de ternera con patata, cebolla y manzana y salsa de vino negro del Priorat. Ambas carnes al punto, tiernas y suaves al paladar, que junto con la mermelada en caso del pollo, como la salsa de vino en el de las carrilleras combinaban a la perfección. Por último, nos queda el postre que en mi caso decidí probar la tarta de queso. Cremosa, ligera, con la galleta triturada por encima y la mermelada de frutos rojos como base. La experiencia fue completamente satisfactoria y es un lugar el cual volveremos sin lugar a dudas.

Muchísimas gracias de parte de...

It's a typical, country-style, home cooked meals restaurant. It's very good value for the set meal, especially because the servings are huge. They seem to have seasonal menus which is nice. I really enjoyed the salad, the creamy pasta and the veal cheeks. The brownie was very good too. The only flaw was that they were very quick to "offer" a more expensive bottle of wine, when a glass of wine was actually included. This added 25€...
