Living in Sitges, we are spoiled with fish restaurants. Some in particular claim to be the best, but in my opinion, La Marinade is a hidden Basque/Catalan gem in Sitges, whom besides the freshest of fish offer a choice of meat, all prepared on the grill. It’s a small restaurant where you can see your food being prepared for you behind the glass walls to the kitchen.
It’s cosy with the tables arranged perfectly for intimacy. The service combining both professionalism and effortlessness friendliness made it a memorable and wonderful evening. Add a touch of Gershwin and the evening was complete.

Read moreHands down: this restaurant offers the BEST fish and seafood in Sitges! Especially the sea bass (lubina) with garlic is to die for, and goes perfectly with the potatoes.

A place to enjoy food and company, and not haste. Reservation recommended especially during the busy summer weekends. Will return for sure, next...
