"Everything was great we tried the gnocchi, soup, risotto, pork, and chicken. Everything was 5 stars. The service was great. English/french/Spanish menus"

"We visited for lunch recently, having walked around town on a baking hot afternoon and not much luck finding options as vegetarians. Having stumbled across Elian, we could not believe our luck. It was toward the end of lunch service and buzzing but we were warmly invited in, and a table cleared and set up for us straight away. As vegetarians, we were spoiled for choice from the menu del dia. The portions were generous and the dishes cooked to perfection. The service was attentive and ever so charming. An extra dessert was thrown in on the house...just because. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in Tarragona."

"One of my best gastronomic experience! The beautiful design they touch on every meal is just amazing proof of the love they cook and serve with! All the salads they serve are special. Beef paella was nice, but not my taste; Grilled chicken was amazing; and Bobby beans with tofu was exceptional!"

"Oh my god, this was a really great experience. We came as a group of 5, everybody took a menu (a starter, a main dish, a drink and a desert/coffee, 20-25€ per person) and everything was just wonderful. I’ve already got used to the lack of service and bored waiters, but this place is not the case. We felt warmly welcomed and taken care of. The atmosphere was very pleasant! I believe, it is not a very touristy place, and we also had a lovely small talk with the locals. Thank you very much, you’ve made our day in Tarragona even better"

"Food: We went for the lunch menu and it was a great choice! I really enjoyed the paella-style rice and schnitzel. The mussels were just okay, and dessert—absolutely delicious! 8/10 Service: The service here is fantastic—super friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful 10/10 Vibe: A classic Spanish restaurant—cozy and inviting, though nothing particularly unique. No outdoor seating at the moment 7/10 @ 8/10"

"We came to this restaurant after our visit at Familia Torress. It took us one hour. I love how attentive the servers here, she has been taking great care of us, asking us whether everything is okay, whether the food is okay. The food is a bit salty but I saw a lot of locals dining here as well. Perhaps the locals prefer it this way. But the food is delicious"

"What a gem of a place in Tarragona! We visited on Tue 31/07/24 and returned the next day Wed 01/08/24 as it was the best food we've ever had in Spain. The owner, Eliana, couldn't have been more accommodating. Warm, friendly personalised service and great food to match. 3 courses for lunch plus wine each and 2 limoncello came to €45 euros, an absolute bargain! Starters we tried pumpkin Gnocchi and spaghetti carbonara. Main course we tried mushroom risotto, pumpkin ravioli and the stuffed chicken with dates/baconand beer butter sauce. Desserts we tried the brownie and ice cream along with the 'chocotorta'. Every course was seasoned well and tasted super fresh and homemade. Will be returning on out next visit to Tarragona, hopefully in the near future!"
