Izarra Tavern  / Guria - Great, very local basque-style tapas places with delicious pintxos. Lately we’ve been more partial to Izarra because the atmosphere’s a bit nicer , but both are great and should be tried. (do both in one night even!)

La Masia - The Chapa’s favorite restaurant in town. Great rustic Catalan farmhouse-style cooking with a really good wine list and great service. Make sure to ask to sit in the courtyard. Make sure to order the sausage tree appetizer. Make sure to order a Porrón of liqueur wine and biscotti with dessert. 

Al Fresco - High-end but understated spot with an asian-fusion tinge. The food is often good, if not amazing, but it’s set in the open-air courtyard of a gorgeous old building and has a very romantic atmosphere for dinner. 

La Oca - A Chapa-family standard. This place is quite literally nothing special, but that is sort of what makes it special. A rotisserie chicken and fries w/ Aioli is the standard order, but you can find other catalan classics throughout the menu. The atmosphere is lively and fun, and great for a big family meal with kids. 

Cal Pinxo - If you’re looking to satisfy your cravings for Paella, Fidello, and other spanish seafood standards, this is the place. Great for a long, slightly boozy lunch on the boardwalk.

La Zorra - Renowned Paellas in a lovely beach-side setting.

La Cocina - Michelin-rated high-concept Catalan fusion cuisine. Inventive and tasty if a bit fussy. The interior is rather forgettable however, so we recommend asking for an outdoor table which is on a cute pedestrian street. Reservations recommended.

Hibou - Natural wines have finally breached Sitges. A delightful new place that opened last year, you’ll find inventive & modern vegetable-forward small plates and a great selection of wines in a cute, intimate space.

Nem - Contemporary leaning tapas & small plates spot with a mix of Catalan and asian influences and a cozy vibe. Kinda feels like you’re eating in a boat. Try the patatas bravas for a great version of a classic Spanish dish. Tough to get a table so make resos or sit at the bar.

Benaprés Beach Bar - A great spot for an unfussy but delicious beach-side lunch. Sometimes a very simple but tasty grilled fish with chimichurri and roasted potato is all you need. You can also rent chairs/umbrellas and order drinks directly to your seats for a posh experience.

Doner Kebab Sitges - Think of Doner Kebab as Europe’s answer to dollar-slice pizza or the street taco - a delicious and efficient snack good for late nights or quick meals. There is a lot of kebab throughout town of middling quality, but this place north of the train station makes a very solid sandwich while also acting as a social hub for the surly-but-charming old men of the neighborhood. 

Smash House Burgers - very solid new burger joint in the center of town that also has chicken nuggets/tenders, cheese fries, and tres leches pudding. Great for a quick post-beach lunch.

Cap De La Vila Pizzeria - Delicious pizza with a great terrace in the main square of town. The Mallorquina (spicy Spanish sausage) is my go-to, but you’ll be in good hands with most of the menu.

Bloom Coffee - If you’re tired of the standard offerings from the cafes that dot the center of town, you can find more modern third-wave style coffee from this spot just north of the train station. They also carry bags of beans from the esteemed Nomad Coffee Lab in Barcelona in case you prefer to start your mornings at home.

Forn 9 S.L. - One of the simple joys of Sitges is strolling into town for a breakfast of fresh bread and pastries each morning. There are many competent bakeries throughout town, but this is our personal go-to, and the line of old spanish ladies waiting for their baguettes in the morning feels like a validation of our tastes.

Xarcuteria Fontanals - Great cheese and charcuteries in a charming old delicatessen. Grab some sliced chorizo, mortadella, and manchego for a picnic lunch at the beach.

Dino’s - for my money, the best gelato shop in Sitges (although this was a hotly debated topic in the Chapa family). Pistachio flavor is divine imo, and it’s right on the boardwalk and perfect for grabbing on your stroll back home after dinner.

Amati - Puro Gelato - A newer, fancier option for gelato that just opened in town. While I am a Dino’s loyalist and have only tried a few of their flavors to date, the 2-scoop combo of toasted coconut and salted caramel peanuts tastes like a Thai Diner sundae and is worth a visit.
