Arcs Restaurant

I believe this restaurant is one of my top favorites in Catalunya. Everything was wonderful: the service, location, and of course, the food. I highly recommend the salad and the lamb. All the desserts were incredible.

Kind and welcoming service, attention with the details, and the food, everything was perfect , starting in the starters and finishing with the dessert (apologies, forgot to take a picture). Definitely will be back when in Tarragona.

Our favourite restaurant in Tarragona for a nice dinner to treat yourself This is a hidden gem, not very visible from the street, but oh my. They have a really interesting menu that offers traditional dishes with interesting twists. The restaurant gave us an aperitif of an olive cream with turmeric and curry. For starters we had 2 half portions of a mixed salad with langoustines in a crispy wrap and a Parmesan ice cream and then an escalivada with tomato carpaccio, olive oil caviar and a twist on sardines and tapenade. For the mains we had the fish of the day that was corvina with patatas panaderas and confit peppers and then rabbit shoulders cooked on a mustard stew with barley. For dessert we went for the canutillos de arroz con leche with cinnamon ice cream and the crema catalana with orange juice sorbet. Really recommend all of them, each one was amazing. The staff was also super friendly, helpful and attentive. From outside it might look closed, but push the door!

We had a pleasant evening here whilst staying locally on holiday. The service was friendly and attentive, but the food just didn't quite hit the mark. Some of the flavours were not well balanced and some just didn't match the main item on the plate. The tasting menu was €50 each. We had a nice evening, but the food was just ok.

7 course tasting menu, very good food and a nice place to eat

We went for the tasting menu and wine pairing which was 45 + 18 euros and felt it was well worth the price. The restaurant was quaint and historical which was probably the highlight. The meal consisted of an apertif of a variation of pan con tomat followed by an appitizer of tuna and salmon tartar & a paté which were all delicous. This was followed by an almond & garlic confit soup with marinated blue fish and then an aberian ham, fish and apple with peso dish and then a crispy canelloni stuffed with veal and a red wine reduction - which again were all very good and best in ascending order. The desserts were okay with a lemon sorbet and a white or dark chocolate dessert (go with the dark).

I was at the end of restaurant where is no signal and poor WiFi so reading menu through QR code is not simple and when I asked for beer twice I was probably not heard because I didn't received it. Overall experience is very good because food is delicious. You need more money to eat here.

Friendly service and astonishing, delicious food, in a historical environment. One of the best deserts I have ever had... Willing to be back soon!

3.5 stars is really the right rating for this. Food was good but not amazing. Service was rather indifferent, which is unfortunately not uncommon in Spain towards Americans. There are probably much more humbler places in Tarragona that serve similar quality food. The building itself is cool and they have an ice holding cave from ancient times.
