Top 5 Sitges restaurants in summer 2011

July 12, 2011 - PRLog -- I recommend you spend some days in Sitges, near Barcelona. This is a Spanish coastal town on the Costa del Garraf which has become very popular among tourists, specially among the gay audience. However, it is not only a gay destination, but a place suitable to anybody who wants to spend their holidays at the seaside, have wonderful food and drinks and, maybe, go out at night. In this article I'm going to focus on the food and drink issue. I'd like to share with you the five restaurants which, to me, are the best restaurants in Sitges and which you can't miss when coming to the town.

   * Maricel: this restaurant in Sitges asks their customers to dress up. It is located at the seafront at the foot of the church of Santa Tecla. You can have superb food at a high price on a large terrace looking onto the sea and the church. The interior of the restaurant is old-fashioned and has no nice ambiance.
   * La Caleta: if you go to Balmins beach, you must enter this restaurant in Sitges. Have a cocktail while waiting for your table at the lounge. Taste the paella and the fresh fish dishes. The tapas of calamari rings and patatas bravas are very good and you can accompany your meal with a bottle of white wine in a relaxed ambiance.
   * Santa Maria: this sidewalk cafe in Sitges is large and has a wide choice of seafood dishes in great portions. Enjoy the wonderful views from the terrace of the restaurant. It's a quite funny restaurant in Sitges because waiters are very competitive and will try to seat you in their section. Service is not excellent but the atmosphere of the restaurant and it's marvellous food make the place a good choice.
   * Picnic: this cafe/restaurant in Sitges is located on the promenade across the road from the Hotel Calipolis. It is quite expensive but the quality is excellent, so you won't waste your money. Take a seat on the terrace looking onto the beach and have some delicious Catalan food at lunchtime. If you're not too hungry or it isn't lunchtime yet, you can have a quick snack in the cafeteria, as well. This popular restaurant in Sitges gets customers who are both locals and tourists. It's great location at the beach helps it have a lot of guests, so if you're going to have lunch, I advise you better make a reservation or go very early.
   * La Fragata: this restaurant near Maricel has a lot in common with that restaurant. It is also a must to dress up for having dinner in this wonderful restaurant. You can have pricey, modern Catalan food which is worth the money, as well as having great views of the church and the sea. So far, Maricel and La Fragata seem exactly the same. Here comes one of their differences: the interior of La Fragata is much better as it is cosy and modern.
   * La Caleta: if you go to Balmins beach, you must enter this restaurant in Sitges. Have a cocktail while waiting for your table at the lounge. Taste the paella and the fresh fish dishes. The tapas of calamari rings and patatas bravas are very good and you can accompany your meal with a bottle of white wine in a relaxed ambiance.

So, would you like to eat in one of these restaurants in Sitges? If you have already planned your holidays and have no days to come to Sitges, you can also come at any other time of the year. It is advisable and a must to come at Carnival, which is usually celebrated in February or on occasion of the Festival of Cinema of Sitges, as popular as Cannes, held in October. These are wonderful occasions to eat in the restaurants in Sitges and spend some days in a great Sitges apartment. You can have a look at some and book at http://www.sitges-ok-apartment.com/en.
