Restaurant El Reencuentro Tarragona — Restaurant in Tarragona

We’ve been on a Mediterranean cruise for the last two weeks and on our final day in Barcelona, we decided to venture out and explore the historic town of Tarragona. Since it was a rather spontaneous trip, we hadn’t made reservations anywhere or planned on where/what to eat. We saw this restaurant come up and after reading some of the reviews, thought it sounded great. We walked in and although it seems like most people there made reservations, the owner herself told us not to worry and she would find us a table in about 15 minutes. We were seated and had the most AMAZING fresh bread while we waited for our appetizer which was also my favorite this whole trip: an assortment of cheeses and fruit accompanied by a delicious and bold local red wine. My husband and I split the ribeye and let me say, being from Texas where we take our beef seriously, the meat was perfectly seasoned and cooked! It was so tender and the best beef we had tried on our trip. The potatoes were outstanding too which I honestly wasn’t expecting! We ended with the French toast with vanilla ice cream and it didn’t disappoint! This was one of our best meals the past two weeks! I’m so glad we stumbled upon this restaurant and that they were nice enough to accommodate our party. If you’re fortunate enough to visit this town, do yourself a favor and visit this restaurant.

We were really looking forward to this restaurant, but unfortunately, it was disappointing. • Food: Portions were very small. My friend’s sirloin steak was not cooked as requested — he ordered it medium, but it came nowhere close. My salmon was small, had no side dishes, and was overpriced. The starter, however, was very good. • Service: I ordered a Sprite three times, but it never arrived. When my knife fell, the waiter said he would bring a new one, but it took over 5 minutes and my food was already on the table. Both waiters were unfortunately quite unfriendly. • Atmosphere: The place itself is nice and well-presented, but the overall experience did not match the setting.

For the price, we expected much more. Sadly, it was...

This was the best meal I have ever had in my entire life! We sat down outside and I chose a glass of wine, can't remember what it was called but the bottle has flowers on it. The nicest and most smoothest wine I have ever had. Honestly! My husband even had some and he doesn't usually like wine. We chose the tortilla with truffle and the patatas bravas from the menu and the croquettes and burrata salad from the specials menu. Everything was amazing! I think about the truffle tortilla at least once a day! We were served by a lovely lady, didn't catch her name. Very attentive! Please go here! You will...
