Cal Pep

[jesteinf]

Cal Pep is one of those love it or hate it places. It's filled with tourists, but plenty of locals eat there too. Some people think it's overpriced, others think it's well worth it.

We tried going one day (arriving the requisite 30 minutes before opening time to guarantee ourselves seats at the bar) but they were closed for a holiday. We went back later in our trip and were rewarded.

We took our seats at the end of the bar, and let our waiter Paco do the ordering for us...

Paco working the bar

Assorted fried seafood - Served fresh from the fryer, lightly salted

One fried fishie

Clams and ham - How can you not love this country?

Monkfish - Paco decided that we needed a whole fish

Veal - not quite full, Paco brought us this for dessert

Put me in the camp that loves Cal Pep. I don't remember exactly how much this meal was (I think around 70 euros), but it was certainly more than our other lunches...and well worth it.

Hater is probably too strong a word, but let just say that I'm not a Cal Pep lover either.
