Quattros — Restaurant in Tarragona

Seemed like a great restaurant popular with locals at first. Upon being seated we were greeted in Spanish (not a problem) and provided a Spanish/Catalonian menu, we did not think this was a problem at first until another slightly friendlier waitress asked why we had not been given an English menu. When the food arrived, the chicken dish we were given was good quality and cooked well, however the same can not be said for the burger we ordered. From the offset it looked slightly rare, but when cutting into it became apparent the meat was of poor quality and undercooked, lots of pink! We told the waitress it was undercooked to which she did not seem surprised! She simply said ‘ah undercooked’ (as though this was normal) and took the food away. She arrived shortly after with another burger which although more cooked was not any more appetising. Looking past this, I asked for the bill along with 2 beers to enjoy before we departed. The waitress seemed to understand this request but then arrived with only the bill! Because of this, we did not feel welcome at all. If looking for somewhere to eat in Tarragona, you can do...

Excellent service. Excellent food. That’s all that needs to be said, really. Also, that we had dinner there two days in a row. That good. Details below:

Stumbled upon this place on our way to lunch and decided to have dinner there. Made a reservation with a very cheerful and friendly lady.

Every dish we ordered was delicately flavoured , just the way I like - simple and fresh ingredients, but complex taste, even the salad. And, after a month in Spain , all I can say is, there is pulpo and there is PULPO. For those interested in our (very seafood oriented) order: Day 1 tomato and mozzarella salad shrimp carpaccio (highly recommended) tuna tataki steamed mussels (amazing taste, and generous portion) chocolate coulant

Day 2 warm shrimp salad salmon tartare pulpo chocolate coulant

Side note: I don’t know if it was the owner , but he remembered that I had ordered the panna cotta on the first day and that it wasn’t available . He informed me that I could have it on the 2nd night. Very alert and thoughtful . All throughout we had very warm and attentive service.

I’ve said too much. Just have...

There is no doubt that this place is popular however the staff are just terrible we visited here in 2019 and since then it’s not good to see that there has been no improvement, we were served today or should i say not served today by a very impossible waitress called Maria!!!

I have simply never been treated so bad anywhere in the world I have travelled. We were served Amanidas Cesar with no cutlery , when we asked she simply ignored us and continued to wipe tables, the restaurant was not even half full plus there was 3 staff working.

In the end we had to go in and get it ourselves, the bad news does not stop!! There was only 3 very small pieces of chicken in the salad the size of a crouton. All I wish to say is that staff can ruin a place.

It was very clear that we were not the only ones being treated like this as a Spanish couple that sat down beside us had to take matters into their own hand also

What a real shame because the food is somewhat good as is the location but management need to be front and centre to check these bad staff from destruction of...
