Montaditos Pepet II — Restaurant in Pineda de Mar

If you ever stay in Pineda and are looking for a good tapas restaurant, this is THE place to visit. They have the best tapas (or technically montaditos because served on bread, which is typical Catalan) I have ever eaten. We visited this place with a group of 4 (including a picky eater). We all had around 8 picks and loved every single one of them, not a single disappointment. Even the picky eater only had one that she felt was a little less impressive but still it was good. All of them are packed with flavour and superbly prepared. There's no way to try everything on the menu, you'd need a few days. 2 of us are not into fish or seafood, but still we got to have a wide choice of variety. It was simply amazing. The staff is friendly and jokes around with the guests but they work hard and quickly. Pricing is extremely competetive even, for the 4 of us, each having; 8 montaditos, 1 dessert and a few drinks, the bill came down to 98 Euros! I am usually reluctant with tipping, but this was well worth a big tip. Once again the rule of thumb I go by when visiting restaurants abroad worked, if locals eat there the food is good and affordable and better than the average...

Nothing really impressive! Just ordinary average food. The only good thing was that they gave me the wrong bill, so I paid maybe half of what I should have paid. They are pretty chaotic there. I guess they have extra charged the table next to me. They were also disappointed and they left the place the same time with me. I stayed there in disbelieve for like half of minute, hoping they would realize the mistake. But the waiter waved me goodbye for like three times already, so I let the germans pay for the squid and aubergines and I left. I didn't really enjoy them anyway. It's lousy, chaotic and average, I wouldn't really recommend the place. Later edit: I woke up in the middle of the night with serious stomach cramps maybe from the squid, maybe from something else I ate there. So I decided to downgrade them to one star. Now I can really say I don't...

We came here in May 24 on the recommendation of a local. We were very excited at the range of tapas, but were too early and could only get breakfast. However, we unexpectedly ended up in pineda De mar in October 24 and this was our bolt-hole at lunchtimes. The staff are great, the choice of tapas is unbelievable and a fab price. If you come on a busy lunchtime then staff just walk around with plates of fresh tapas, you take it or leave it, because there's always something else coming shortly! We tried lots of different tapas because in real life they looked even better than on the menu. When it's quieter, you choose from the menu. Often full of locals but you're always made welcome. I wish this was our local in the...
