In Vilanova i la Geltrú, Tabla 26 (c/ Puigcerdà, 16) has just opened with a selection of dishes rooted in the local recipe book (trinchado de espigalls, cuttlefish a la sucia) and also with other offerings (Formentera-style lobster) that have already become a reference in the city. Among the most interesting and highly recommended dishes are those cooked on the grill, including the turbot supreme with garlic and vegetable sauté, which goes well with the gelatinous fish. One of the starters worth highlighting is the bone marrow with steak tartare of veal, which is both delicious and visually appealing. And lovers of creative sandwiches, or sandwiches, will find one at Tabla 26 that stands out: it's filled with Iberian pork shoulder, with caramelized onions, kimchi, and Comté cheese.

They have a Catalan wine list, and in the kitchen is El Vendrell-born chef Adrià Álvarez, who champions an extensive menu (watch out for the popcorn with fried egg) and a €29 daily set menu. In the dining room, there are waiters with extensive experience in the restaurant business, who had worked in other restaurants in Vilanova i la Geltrú that no longer exist.

If you are going to Palamós and are looking for a restaurant where you can taste the famous prawns, you will find many options, and a very good one is La Perla restaurant (c/ del Vapor, 4)You'll find the chef duo Miquel and Estefanía, who have worked in prestigious restaurants around the world. Some even have Michelin stars, and after traveling the world, they've decided to return to El Born. In Palamós, facing the port, at the restaurant La Perla, they prepare dishes based on seafood with an exotic touch from the countries they've visited. However, the main focus is Palamós cuisine, with one star: the Palamós shrimp. Miguel and Estefanía buy fresh shrimp daily, and one of the dishes featuring them is rice casserole. Since we can't get enough of rice and shrimp alone, we recommend that when you go to La Perla, you also try the breaded scorpion fish, which Estefanía cooks with her own flour blend and which, at the table, offers a unique presentation. Among the starters, you'll also find red shrimp carpaccio, Russian salad, and bluefin tuna tartar, cured with citrus fruits. Finally, La Perla offers set menus in addition to an à la carte menu. During the week, you'll find a €27.50 menu with four options to choose from: starters, main courses, and desserts, including the fresh fish of the day or rice or fideuá (and no extra charges!). On weekends, the menu is €35, and you can even choose shrimp and crayfish dishes for starters.
