De la muntanya al mar de Sitges

Tapa description

Mar y montaña de alcachofas, vieiras y butifarra negra

About this tapa

A classic Catalan surf and turf reinterpreted in tapa form, with artichokes, scallops, and black butifarra sausage. It combines the iodised, delicate sweetness of the scallop with the earthy, spiced power of the black butifarra, while the artichoke brings vegetal bitterness and texture. It's a dish of contrasts very much of the territory, fitting for a seafront kitchen like El Cau del Vinyet.

What diners say: Rated 4.0/5 by 23 diners on Google; several highlight dining facing the sea in a relaxed atmosphere and the quality of the product in its tasting menu, though some reviews note uneven experiences.

Suggested pairing: Pairs well with a young red from the Penedès with soft tannins, which accompanies the black butifarra without overpowering the delicacy of the scallop.
