Petador: the sausage you can only find in Sabadell

If the word firecracker doesn't say anything to him, it must be because he isn't lucky enough to have people from Sabadell around. For the people of Sabadell, the word firecracker It means whip. So if a business is named Petador (which is the restaurant-shop we'll be talking about today), we can draw two quick conclusions. The first is that we are indeed in the Vallès region, and the second is that Nostrat cured meats are served here.

Petador is three things in one: a gourmet grocery store, a wine shop, and a restaurant where you can taste it all together. When you walk in, on your right, you'll find a fantastic refrigerator to fill your pantry. On the left, shelves full of local wines to stock everyone's personal wine cellar. And then, a space with tables for making vermouth or a table of cheeses and cured meats. Or salads, spillovers, preserves, and good sandwiches for breakfast. It's the place where a Catalan feels at ease, because it has everything we would eat at an impromptu dinner. You know that day when people come over, you don't have much in the fridge, and you end up making tomato bread with goodies and opening a bottle of wine? This is Petador. It can be the source of their food supply, or it can be the place where they'll eat it.

You'll find them at 7 Gràcia Street, in the center of Sabadell. You'll find the service is very friendly and the people are very kind. Because good food often lacks sophistication and because, after all, as the poet said: there's nothing like the Vallès.
