Guidebook for Gavà
Food Scene
Very cool, Ibiza style restaurant and bar. The restaurant has a wonderful terrace and great tapa menu. There a shaded area where kids can play amongst some very low trees (very safe!). The bar has a hotdog outlet too for a cheap and quick bite. They just added a Taco Shack too - 3 tacos and a drink for 10 euros. Wonderful venue.

Our favourite hangout! Beautiful building, one block from our place. Good for breakfast, lunches or dinner. The dining menu varies from a "bikini" - a ham and cheese toastie - for the kids to a formal menu for tapas, great fish and meat dishes. Their pan con tomato is fantastic.
