Ànima Restaurant — Restaurant in Vilanova i la Geltrú

I have only left two restaurants in my life having ordered a 3 course meal without eating the main course - unfortunately Ànima was the 2nd (the first a Russian restaurant in Saint Petersburg the 90s..). The service was very slow (30min 1st course and 70min 2nd course) but that was not the main issue. The cod I ordered was very raw. I pointed this out to the the (ignorant) waiter who did not apologise or even make eye contact who took the plate back to the kitchen. Annoyed already with the slow service, I was stunned when this most arrogant (and cowardly) waiter returned with the same plate with the fish still raw. Again no apology and when I said I'm leaving he said 'good' (when running back to the kitchen). I have been to the restaurant many times before (not this year though) and was truly shocked at the quality of food (my wife's main course was burnt to a crisp) and service this time. I have spent many months in Catalonia over the past few years (my wife is Catalan) and never experienced this before. I should hope for the restaurant's sake that this guy masquerading as a waiter does not remain long in your restaurant for much longer and that the quality of the food recovers.. The comment below is the most pathetic lie that...

I had a very pleasant dining experience at Ànima Restaurant. The air conditioning was very cool, making the atmosphere comfortable and relaxing. The service was exceptionally warm and friendly, with attentive and courteous staff.

The food was incredibly delicious with authentic Spanish flavors. I highly recommend their creamy lobster risotto, which features fresh Spanish lobster. The taste was exquisite, and the texture was rich, making it an unforgettable culinary delight. Additionally, they offer a freshly made cheesecake daily, which is also very tasty. It was the perfect way to end the meal.

Overall, I was very satisfied with Ànima Restaurant, from the ambiance to the service and the food. I would recommend it to anyone who loves...

Hemos ido a comer dos personal. Celebrábamos una fecha especial y a pesar de que económicamente era un sacrificio nos hemos dado el capricho de comer a la carta. Primero unas cigalas al brandy y tartar de atún, de segundo arroz de gamba roja, dos copas de vino y una botella de agua de medio. 89€ en total. Las cigalas buenas y muy bien hechas aunque sin sal, cosa que nos ha sorprendido para un marisco tipo plancha. El tartar bueno aunque bastante seco. Parecía que el atún estuviera cortado de rato y sin tapar pr el sabor del atún estaba bueno. La vergüenza ha sido el segundo. Arroz de gamba roja que lleva solo una gamba. Llevaba también una cigalas, calamares, potón, almenas y mejillones. El sabor a nada, a paella de menú y gracias, hecha sin ningún tipo de fumet, picante y con zanahoria. 25 € la ración. Disculpe señor propietario y cocinero pero o no tiene ni idea de cocina o no se que pensar. Usted me ha servido una paella mala y gracias. Señor propietario y cocinero, agradecería si es tan amable que me diga que diferencia hay entre lo que yo he comido y lo del menú del día que hay unos comentarios más abajo a parte de casi 40 € de más. Con la diferencia que el del menú tiene pan y postre cosa que no en nuestro caso no. El servicio fatal, están viendo que pones las cáscaras de las cigalas en el recipiente pequeño de las olivas que rebosa y no te traen un plato para ponerlas, te dejan el arroz en la mesa cuando todavía comes los primeros, te retiran los platos del primero y no te traen nada para el arroz que lo tienes que pedir, te traen solo un plato y un cazo para servir cuando el arroz está seco, tienes que pedir una cuchara y un segundo plato. El arroz ni te lo sirven y los platos que te traen son de postre con lo que no te cabe ni la ración. Pides un salero y te lo piden al cabo de un rato para otra mesa, solo tienen uno para todo el restaurante???? En fin, gracias por este día...
