We always end up here and no Wonder why. Great food great service and the best ambiance. Have patience - they have control of you waiting for the table:)

Wonderful food and great service. Charming and cozy. We had to wait a few minutes before we were seated but we did not have a reservation and it was not a long wait . My friend and I really enjoyed the imaginative and delicious food. Go!

I came here for lunch and made sure to order plenty before the 3:30 closing time. We ended up getting two of everything for our group of six, and the portions were surprisingly large! I had heard rave reviews about this place, but some dishes were just okay. I absolutely loved the pumpkin hummus and the Duck Nest—they were highlights of the meal! However, I wouldn't recommend the squid rings or any of the deep-fried items, as they turned out soggy and not enjoyable.

We was very excited to dine here after reading such great reviews, however, it is nothing special. I have family in Barcelona so am well aquatinted with tapas and I do not believe this was anything spectacular. The food was mediocre. Fast service, and food arrived promptly. They have won a lot of awards, and are clearly still very proud of this achievement, however the most recent award was about 10 years ago. However, the Duck Nest was quite nice. The service (well what service) they didn’t even show us to our table, just pointed and says over there. Then threw one menu down on the table. The aesthetic was nice, and the decor was quaint.

Authentic bar with many tapas choices. We had a reservation up the road so we had a drink here while we waited. The bar personal were super efficiënt and friendly. We checked the menu and it’s full off amazing tapas. We were here just before 20.00 and we were told that 2 of the menu were sold out already. If this was not the case we would have cancelled our reservation up the road for sure. It was great of the guy to let us know straight away. We will be back here for sure when we are in Sitges. Atmosphere here is brilliant. Nice a decor, great staff, lovely beers/vermouth and wines and we will love to try the food for sure. Great traditional place that is frequented by locals and tourists alike.

Amazing food, and really good price We (2 adults 2 kids) ate like kings, and the grown-ups polished off a bottle of wine Im usually "that guy" that takes pictures of food, but everything that landed in front of me was devoured immediately. I got one pic on my second visit We stayed in Sitges for a week, and visited twice. The food all around was good, but this was head and shoulders above the rest

We waited on the bar almost 30 minutes to seat, Vermont is very good, atmosphere was great also waiters 🫶🏻 We took; Duck nest, the check, Chipirones, Cranky Octopus, Pepito, Rib, Patates Bravas and drinks. Everything was fresh and delicious 🤤 Totally 65€ (3 persons)

Really great place. Definitely a place where you have to go put your name in for a table but the wait is definitely worth it. We waited 30 minutes but enjoyed vermouth from their bar while we were waiting. Staff is all really friendly and welcoming towards tourists and even entertained my awful broken spanish because i wanted to practice. Would recommend it to all.

Some of the most unique best pinchos I've ever had. Everything was super flavorful and tasty. My favorite was the veal sandwich and the tuna tartare. Tuna was sublime and the veal sandwich was super tender.

I have been to Spain more than half a dozen times and this is now one of my favorite places! The service, food, value and overall vibe are incredible. I had The scrumptious ham croquette and moist omelette, followed by very generous portion of patatas bravas and a signature tapa, duck nest. It was my favorite! I stood at the bar bc it was packed and I was alone and didn't want to take up a table and I wanted to see what was going on from a great vantage point. Jordy my bartender took excellent care of me! I may even come back later tonight!

This popular bar and tapas place is worth the visit. Inexpensive and a large selection of tapas and beers. Nothing fancy and it may remind you of the local hangout in your college days. The servers are helpful, energetic and efficient...these guys really move! Due to the popularity of the place, you may need to stand for awhile. But the guys are organized, take notes of those waiting for a table and are focused on a clockwork operation. All in all, El Cable is fun, no frills, and a tasty way to spend your night.

This place is phenomenonal. Best tapas in town. Always really busy with crowds standing on the street outside eating tapas and drinking a glass is catalonia wine. I was here 3 years ago and came to ensure that my memories of the fantastic experience here were accurate and I was not disappointed. We had the best patatas bravas ever. Cod fritter were like little cod flavoured clouds. We shared the duck tapa dish which was moist and delicious. The croquettes with ham went down a treat. Creamy and full of flavour. The house red comes chilled. Service was engaging but not annoying. Takes a while to get a table. But seriously worth the wait. Highly recommended.

The place is packed starting at 7pm on Tuesday night. People wait outside drinking and eating. We waited 40minutes for a table of 5. Their tapas are small but delicious so make sure order enough. Also, the price is very reasonable. Our bill came out around 65€. Everything we ordered was great. Enjoyed chicken fingers, cod fritters, fried little squid, McCable mini burger. Least favorite was pork cheek. Good sangria.

I can see why this tapas restaurant has won so many awards, both in Sitges and all of Catalunya. Super-creative and absolutely delicious tapas, served in a pleasant room and by an attentive, professional staff. Don't miss it!

So glad we got there early because others were turned away for no reservation. We had copas de estrella and the potatoes brava to start. These were awesome bravas! We also had croquettes, tomato bread, and russian salad. All good. Great place. Go!

Superb and extremely lively local atmosphere on a Saturday night in mid-September, with almost as many people drinking and socializing outside the tapas bar in the street, as inside. This may not be the place for a peaceful and romantic dinner, but one is unlikely to find another place in town that better demonstrates the social and entertainment roles of tapas bars in the locals' lives. Very busy during peak periods, taking ten minutes to get a spot at the bar for one person to place an order. However, my waiter was responsive and resourceful, brinigjng me a plate of his 5 favorite tapas, a couple glasses of Rose, and his favorite drink from the ten picturesque barrels behind the bar -- a delicious Vermouth on ice.

Outstanding spot for tapas--where the locals go! Wonderful food,away from the overpriced touristy places in other parts of town, this place was so friendly and with far superior food. Excellent place for couples, friends to enjoy real tapas and Spanish tastes.

If I wasn't leaving Sitges soon, there's no way I'd tell you about this place, because we'd want it all for ourselves. It's already competitive enough getting a seat in this small, but not tiny tapas bar. As a matter of fact, you'll notice that many people are eating outside, because there's just no room for them inside. Luckily, food is passed to them through the window. Now, I don't mean drive-thru window or a window like you'd find at a diner. I'm talking about the window that lets air in from the street so people eating on the street outside can share in the fun and flavors. El Cable is run by a team of young chefs that take their creativity seriously. They just keep bringing out plates of creations and setting them on the bar as patrons scoot up to get a taste before they are gone. Because, for the most part, once a platter is empty, it's done. The chefs have already moved on to their next great creation. The food we saw and, in some cases tried, ranged from sliders, to meatballs, to smoked salmon, to balsamic mozzarella with herbs to sausages to cheeses to...well, you get the picture. The longer you stay, the more variety you are exposed to. Combine the great flavors with wine, a local beer or even and lemon shandy (beer with Lemonade that's popular here) and you just want to keep going and trying new things. It's pretty intimate, so you will likely end up getting ideas for your next round of tapas from your neighbors or your server, who is also likely one of the chefs. The biggest surprise you'd get, other than all the great flavors, will be the check. Most items are one or two Euros. You can try and lot of truly wonderful variety without running up a huge bill, which, of course, makes you all the more motivated to try more the next time you visit. The is not on the beachfront, where most of the restaurants are. You have to go back a couple of blocks and find it. It's worth it though. If you have dined in San Francisco, then let me ask you a question. Is the really good food found on Fisherman's Wharf or is it back a few blocks on Chestnut or Union Street. The same seems to be true here. The good stuff doesn't necessarily have a water view.

The food, the staff, the place and the atmosphere is absolutely perfect! Prices are good, and the award winning tapas simply melted in the mouth! Defiantly worth a visit, again and again.. Was there two weeks ago and the restaurant is mostly full, most of the opening hours. I didn't like the TV was switched on, but it's an excuse since it was a Barcelona match, I guess.. Anyway, there is no reason not to go! Five stars!!
