The WATERFRONT Irish Bar — Restaurant in Vila-seca

We are staying at a nearby resort, so this was a convenient spot to stop in. Over the course of the week, we've had breakfast, lunch, and dinner here. The service was excellent and the staff were all very friendly and attentive. If you're looking for a great place to enjoy a pint and watch sports, this is definitely the place. They have multiple TVs streaming live sports and they are happy to accommodate requests for specific games. If sports isn't your thing, no worries, it's not loud and you can absolutely enjoy a meal without being bombarded by it.

Let's talk food. The portion sizes are big and we never left hungry. In fact, most were larger than expected. The prices are very reasonable considering the location. In order of favorites from the menu, our top pick was definitely the Spice Bag. It's not something we've had before, but it sounded interesting so we gave it a try. Wow! Absolutely delicious! 5/5, would recommend this dish. Our 2nd favorite was the burger. Good sized patty, fresh veggies, and cooked through (which is a rarity in Spain). Nothing unique about it, but maybe that's what made it so enjoyable. It was exactly what you'd expect and stayed true to the standard. Sometimes the classic is exactly what you need. Next up, the Breakfast Fry. I ordered the large and it was way more food than I could eat. Great option for a big appetite or to share. For an average appetite, the small is more than enough. Eggs were perfectly cooked and I really enjoyed the hash browns which are hard to find in Spain, so that was a real treat. My one complaint is that the tomato was a whole tomato from a can. Wrong in both flavor and texture in my opinion. Would have certainly preferred a fresh tomato thrown on the grill. 4th place is a toss up between the Fish and Chips, the 1/2 rack of ribs, and the Cottage Pie. All three were good, but some had elements that we weren't expecting. The fish was well cooked and the batter was light and crispy. Overall a lovely dish, but do be aware that it is battered and fried with skin on (one side). I know that's quite common in Spain, but fish skin is one of the few things I just refuse to eat. On grilled fish, I can easily work around it. In order to remove the skin here, I lost 1/2 the batter which was disappointing because aside from the skin, it was a well executed dish.I realize this is a personal preference so I don't fault the restaurant, just making it known in case others reading this have the same aversion. The cottage pie was delicious, but slightly different than any we have had in the past. It tasted as though they used a bolognese sauce which gave it a bit of a tangy flavor. Again, we enjoyed it, but it wasn't the traditional flavor we are accustomed to. The ribs were good and well cooked. They fell right off the bone and the sauce was just the right amount of sweet. The 1/2 rack is a sollid choice for a light meal or a big snack.

As Irish Pubs go, this provides everything you would be looking for. Obviously good as we went back repeatedly. All in all, a great place. Have a pint and get the Spice...

We decided to book a table here after seeing so many recommendations on FB.

Ordered two burgers and a fish n chips. Made sure to request the burgers well done, as often you can get them a wee bit pink in the middle.

My burger came pink in the middle, partners was Ok although they said it was tasteless. Our son got the fish n chips and loved it. Burger and chips are served on round wooden boards, that personally look a bit dubious for cleanliness.

Showed our waiter the pink burger, they apologised, offered another. I declined and asked for just chips. Wasn’t really feeling any other meat item and didn’t want to be too much of a bother. Not really one for sending food back. I usually do the very British thing of claiming I am too full to finish something and just leave it. Anyways; waited and waited on the chips. Couldn’t grab anyone’s attention to ask. When they came to clear the plates my partner asked about the chips. When they arrived they were glistening and saturated with oil - the ones served with the main meal weren’t like that! Was this because we sent the food back?

We were £50 for fish n chips, burger n chips, portion of chips, pint of Guinness, pint of lager, rum and coke. Definitely not worth it.

Really disappointed. ☹️ based on our personal experience, we won’t be back and...

Visited today as we were looking for something to eat that doesn't have a shell or scales... and we were welcomed straight away and offered a place inside as we are traveling with 4 kids. They have loads of seating and air conditioning aswell which is a big bonus in 30 degree heat. The menu for food and drinks was amazing. Once we ordered the food arrived very quickly and was delicious. Krispy kraken burger was huge, chilli fries were also very nice. Kids portions were generous. Also staff very welcoming to the British and speak English very well. Over all if your looking for something that isn't sea food this is a good...
