Somewhere Sant Cugat — Restaurant in Sant Cugat del Vallès

We ate a chicken and brown rice add on. We both suffered terrible food poisoning within 8 hrs of eating. Lucky for me I thought the rice tasted weird and smelly so I only had 3 bites. My daughter ate it all and was sicker than me. The owner keeps saying my review is fake. Here is the proof we are there and the immediate Dr bill. My daughter was also given a medical certificate due to the severity of her poisoning. It was a pity as we were reasonably happy eating there on the day but will not return. Edit UPDATE. I received a response from the owner totally negating my daughter and my own experience. That day we had tea and toast for breakfast so decided to treat ourselves to a cafe meal, as it was a public holiday. Instead of offering us an apology the owner doubles down on his assertion his food is good. If you search through other reviews across google, iwaspoisoned.com, TripAdvisor and I dare say other places you will see many more complaints of old, smelly and substandard food. As a result I’m happy to let anyone know of our experience here. Rest assured the word will get out to avoid this place if you want anything more than a coffee and cake. Yes the service was at a snail’s pace too. We won’t be eating there again, even if they do serve 5kgs of unclean rice a week...

First of all I would like to say this is a nice cafe with a nice vibe. As a student I like coming here to study. There are great options for food; I love their desserts. However, upon eating a brown rice side dish here last week I contracted a bacillus cereus infection resulting in severe vomiting and diarrhoea for several days. It was awful. Very disappointed. It is a clear indication of their lack of safety in food preparation, handling and storage. Be careful.

Update: The owner has since seen my review and sent a response - to which I have responded via email - but there has been no follow up. I am still 100% convinced this place does not have proper food hygiene given that my mother and I who ate here on the same day (eating the same meal) fell very ill. I have had a large medical expense, which is difficult on my financial position as a student. It has taken me over 1 week to fully recover to a reasonable extent. I still have stomach pains.

ANOTHER IMPORTANT UPDATE: My mother tried to make a review about the experience we had. Instead of acknowledging the poor food hygiene, the owner reported my mothers review as fake. Don’t worry, we will upload receipts of us eating here. We get sick and this is how...

I absolutely adore this place! It has become my go-to spot for work and take my breakfast. Let me break down why I love it so much:

Food: The food here is consistently fantastic. As I mentioned earlier, the vegetarian burger is a standout, but everything else on the menu is equally impressive. The variety and quality of the dishes are top-notch. I find myself trying something new every time I visit, and I’m never disappointed.

Service: The service here is impeccable. The staff is attentive, friendly, and always ready to accommodate any special requests. They make me feel welcomed and valued as a customer, which is something I truly appreciate.

Environment: The ambiance of this place is perfect for work and relaxation. It’s quiet enough for me to focus on my smart work, and the cozy atmosphere makes it feel like a home away from home. Whether I’m working on my laptop or enjoying a meal, I always feel comfortable and at ease.

I can honestly say that I’m a regular here because of the amazing food, exceptional service, and the wonderful environment. It’s more than just a restaurant to me; it’s a place where I can be productive and indulge in delicious meals regularly....
