Restaurant La Sal — Restaurant in Vilanova i la Geltrú

What a delight!

While spending a day in Vilanova i la Geltru with friends, a local recommended this place to us. It is, without reservation, the best waterside restaurant I've had the pleasure to visit since moving to Spain more than two years ago.

This restaurant is always my go to place whenever I am in Vilanova or the bar next door La Xirla which is owned by the same owners... the ambience is excellent with clean and efficient service, great ecological wines and definitely the best paella dishes in the area.
