Vicus Restaurant

We had such a wonderful dinner at Vicus! Beautiful understated decor in the front room with lovely classic accents (check out the gorgeous old bar). The service was nothing short of perfect. Relaxed, friendly, but also hugely helpful with my wife's allergy and a great wine recommendation. The food was superb throughout. Standout were the rice with pork ribs, the fresh tomato/melon salad and the smoky aubergine/eel dish, but everything was fresh and excellent. Couldn't have been happier, thank you!

I had high expectations for this place. The ambiance was great, and the staff was professional. However, I was a bit disappointed by the tomato salad and aubergine dish. The paella, on the other hand, was good, and they have a great wine selection.

A delightful meal prepared with finesse. We ordered to share the aubergine with smoked eel, brioche with spicy tuna, razor clams with carrot puree, and black rice with squid. All dishes were excellent, flavours well balanced, with perhaps the razor clams dish needing a bit of zest/acidity. My favourite and recommendation would be the brioche with spicy tuna. Service was impeccable and I loved the olives stuffed with anchovies that started off the meal.

Vicus was an unforgettable experience. Amazing food, amazing atmosphere, impeccable service. We were treated with warmth and kindness, with all staff being incredibly nice, patient, and considerate. They served a dish of sautéed local wild mushrooms that blew my mind. The cannelloni with prawns was a fresh, tasteful dish with depth and vibrancy. Even the hot sandwich with jamon, cheese, and truffle, a dish I was surprised to see amongst the rest of the sophisticated menu, was a carefully considered take on street food that raised the ceiling on what I thought a panini could be. Finally, the black rice with squid was complex and full, exhibiting a mastery of extracting the flavor from the fish into the black rice which featured a more saucy texture than traditional paella. Even the bread was impeccable, like bread you would get at expensive Parisian restaurants, and the staff brought us an appetizing first dish with anchovy-stuffed olives that was mind-blowing. On top of all this, they were considerate of my partner’s nut allergy, giving us a full allergen menu ahead of time and making sure to cater to her needs. On top of all this, Vicus is in Pals, a sleepy farming town that felt like I was being transported back to medieval times. Choose Vicus, this place was absolutely stunning.

I enjoyed a superb meal here as a solo diner. They prepared half portions of some of the smaller dishes so that I could try a variety of things. The highlights for me were the mackerel, black rice, and lemon custard dessert; but everything was good, and the service excellent. Try this restaurant.

This restaurant is a real jewel with an inventive menu, great service, a lovely atmosphere and most importantly of all great food. We have now been on 5 or 6 occasions and never been disappointed. The deserts are so good we now always take 3 to share between 2.

Excellent from start to finish. The waiters speak great English and made me feel very comfortable regarding my allergies. The atmosphere of the restaurant was lovely. The food was stunning. A real Catalonian experience with many ingredients local to the area. The wine recommendations were perfect too. Recommend!

Excellent and creative cuisine - the toasted brioche with tuna tartare is to die for. As is the rice. The cheese tart made with local cheese is excellent, soft texture and very local. The wine list is well selected as well, and the owner/sommelier very knowledgeable and helpful.
