Cappuccino — Restaurant in Tarragona

Epically bad meal. My husband and I were laughing as we left the restaurant.

After mindlessly walking around looking for a spot to eat a full meal, this place seemed lovely. Nice atmosphere, and a full menu (with real meals instead of just tapas). We were greeted with a super rude blonde waitress. We decided to choose from the specials meal (only €16.50 per person and looked like a GREAT deal for a three course meal and drink!)

She gave us a basket of semi-stale bread... and I had to ask for olive oil/vinegar. And then I had to wait until she came back to ask for a plate (so I could dip my bread with oil).

So looking past that, we got our first course. My husband ordered salad and I ordered steamed muscles, yum! Except 75% of my muscles were raw and closed... so I waited for the blonde waitress to come back to tell her it was raw. After awhile, another waiter (tall man) took over the section and saw the plate and took it back right away. Great! We got a nicer waiter at this point and my muscles were going to get fixed. Yay! Nothing else can go wrong, right?

Well after finishing our first course we received our second course.... which was epically bad. My partner ordered the hamburger with fries and I ordered grilled squid and vegetables. The burger plate was literally a microwaved meat patty with fries and ketchup (see photo) and my squid plate also looked microwaved. The squid DID NOT taste fresh AT ALL which is alarming considering we are right next to the sea.. needless to say we barely touched the meal.

When our dessert came, my tiramisu tasted like it had been in the fridge for a month. His lemon gelato was actually pretty good (but he did remark that they probably didn’t make it 😅)

We had to get out of there as fast as possible so we came downstairs to pay (where the rude blonde waitress was working). She ended up charging us extra for a drink that we never got, but we paid anyways just to get out of there and to stop listening to the waiters bicker at each other.

🤣 wow what a waste of a nice atmosphere. We laughed the entire walk home and as I write this I’m drinking some digestive tea because that meal is already not sitting well with my stomach 🤮🤣

Do yourself a favor and skip this place!! Or don’t skip it if you’re looking for some comedic relief 🤣 (don’t forget the...

The cappuccino is a great place for tapas & drinks , plus classic Catalan & Spanish dishes @ reasonable cost for such a prime location on the rambla area of the city & very close by to the Mediterranean balcony , which has spectacular views of the Roman amphitheatre , so why not maybe combine both visits & make the day a really special one , it's up to you the option is there if you want it . The cappuccino has the option of alfresco dining on the outside terrace & it's atmosphere is relaxed & informal , so casual dress is fine , inside dining is available & the premises are more upmarket & might I suggest you dress @ least smart casual as it's more of a full on evening meal experience or a business luncheon style venue & an ideal place for a group of friends to dine or a romantic evening with that special person in your life ! . The decor is a fusion of antique & modern furnishings & fixings & the vibe is very relaxing & tranquil it really does have a very special atmosphere it really is quite the place to be seen . The prices here are reasonable & quality of food is very good & only cooked fresh to order , so please note that a traditional paella does take @ least thirty minutes to cook , so if you do fancy one maybe order a starter I'm sure when it arrives you will agree it was worth the wait ! . The tapas here is very good & the portions are generous & this is a quicker dining option for those who are maybe on a work break or for those who want a quick bite & then possibly want to explore the beautiful city of Tarragona & it's historic architecture & attractions & it's market's etc . This is a great place to drink & dine in pleasant surroundings , with polite friendly waiter/waitress & @ reasonable cost for such a prime location as before mentioned it could be your cup of coffee ! It certainly was mine . Popular with locals & tourists alike can...

I'm not sure how to make you understand how bad this place is. There are two waiters. A brunette and a blonde with her hair up. The brunette is very nice and polite and tries to talk to you even if your Spanish is not the best (I'm OK though). The blonde is awfully rude. Walked away from my wife after barking something in Spanish at her. She's just awful. Our cocktails arrived with one of the main course order whilst the others arrived one at the time with about 5 minute between them. The food wasn't bad (not too good either) but the rudeness of the he blonde waitress ruins the little good that the restaurant has to offer. Maybe it's something with the tourists, I noticed that the good reviews are all in Spanish (and some bad too). Avoid...
