Mediterranean cooking and rice dishes opposite the beach, on the Passeig de la Ribera in Sitges; open since 1991 with a terrace by the sea.

A seafront restaurant
On the Passeig de la Ribera, opposite the beach, five minutes on foot from the church and the Cau Ferrat. It was opened in 1991 by José Luis Capo and Dominique Fourny, and since 2009 Louis Philippe Capo, who trained in restaurants in several countries, has been in the kitchen. It is Mediterranean cooking with its own section of rice dishes, tablecloth service and tables outside, with the sea in front. Not to be confused with the Maricel Museum, which is in the old town.
What to order
The rice dishes are the reason to come: black rice with clams and artichokes, shell-free seafood paella, the classic parellada, soupy rice with lobster and fideuà with clams. In autumn a mushroom and vegetable risotto is added. To start, grandma's cannelloni, Galician-style octopus with pistachio parmentier or a corvina tartare with ajoblanco; to nibble, rock mussels, razor clams, garlic prawns or Cantabrian anchovies with tomato bread. If you are not having rice, there is lobster raviolone, turbot, Segovia suckling pig or shoulder of suckling lamb. The menu marks the allergens in each dish.
There are two tasting menus, a five-course seasonal one and the seven-course Maricel menu, served to the whole table.
When to go and how to book
It closes on Tuesdays. The rest of the week it serves lunch from 13:00 to 15:15 and dinner from 20:15 to 22:00. Book on its website or on 938 94 20 54; for celebrations and company lunches it makes tailor-made menus and quotes separately.
Come by train if you can: the Rodalies R2 Sud drops you at Sitges station, about ten minutes' walk from the sea. By car, parking near the promenade is difficult in summer. After lunch, continue along la Punta, the old town and the seafront promenade.

Qué pedir: black rice with clams and artichokes or shell-free seafood paella, and grandma's cannelloni to start.

## Consejos

### Ask for an outside table
The terrace faces the sea; say so when booking if you want it.

### Rice to share
It is the house dish: order one for the table and starters to nibble.

### In summer, no car
The train arrives ten minutes from the promenade and saves you hunting for a parking space.

## Preguntas frecuentes

### What day is it closed?
Tuesdays. From Wednesday to Monday it opens at midday and in the evening.

### Are there vegetarian dishes?
A few: on the menu, the roast vegetables with romesco are marked as vegetarian and vegan, and in autumn there is a mushroom and vegetable risotto.

### Can I order the tasting menu for one person?
No. Both tasting menus are served to the whole table.
