El Llagut
A small seafood restaurant on Plaça del Rei in Tarragona's old town, known for its lightly spiced masqueta fisherman's rice.
Located on one corner of Plaça del Rei in Tarragona's old town, right beside the ruins of Roman Tarraco, with only about 35 seats. Chef Ramon Martí calls himself 'the chef of memory'. He once worked under a renowned German chef, and the restaurant is a Slow Food member and recommended by Repsol. The signature masqueta is a boatman's rice made with romesco peppers, clams, and monkfish or rock octopus. Its texture is like Italian risotto, with a light spice. The restaurant also serves romesco baby octopus and seafood stew. The daily menu offers two or three rice dishes and one fish. Rice costs about €19 per person, and the average is €40–50 per person. Seating is limited, so book ahead.
