Calçots are sweet spring onions charred over flames and dipped in romesco. They are central to winter calçotades across Tarragona province.
Xató is a Catalan salad of escarole, salt cod, tuna, anchovies and olives with a nutty romesco-style dressing, popular along this coast.
Established harbour-side dining room specialising in Mediterranean seafood, paellas and market fish with a refined but relaxed atmosphere.
