We visited several times on trips to Tarragona it's a lovely place to have late breakfast early lunch. We joined a group of locals inside rather than out, tapas coffee were great, we will be back for sure

We ate here several times. The place is full of locals who seem to enjoy the excellent looking tapas. We had the set menu, three courses with a glass of wine for 11Euros. The food was freshly prepared and there was a good choice of meat and fish dishes and some veggie. A good value local restaurant.

This review is for the one on Compte de Rius street.
First of all, you can be never sure what you will get when you order. When I say 2 beers and 1 sparkling water I dont expect 3 beers. When I order 2 plateaus with an assortment of butifarras etc, I don't expect stuff missing from one of them (they were the same menu item).
Everyone makes mistakes, but when the bill gets doubled with what the table next to us has ordered, things just get ridiculous. I can honestly say I have never ever had a worse service in a restaurant, we were in disbelief. Perhaps we were unlucky in our first and most likely last visit there. Other than that, food - ok, but nothing special. Prices are ok. There are many much much better places in Tarragona, we will stick to them.

First thing to say is that this isn't on the Placa de la Font: it's actually on the Comte de Rius, just nearby. We wandered round and round the Placa, trying to find it, and having given up and walking back to go somewhere else, we found it. So, don't go looking in the Placa de la Font: it's not there.

Anyway, we've tried Lizarran before, so know the drill. The tapas etc are all laid out on a big counter, although drinks can be bought at your table or at the bar. There's seating in front of the tapas, which can make it difficult to serve yourself when people are sitting there, much polite barging in is required.

The tapas all great, much as you find in other branches and there's an emphasis on seafood here - not great for someone like me, who doesn't like anything fishy. They also serve sidra, which makes a good change from beer and happily reminded me of being in Asturias last August - bliss.

It gets very busy, but the atmosphere is good and the service remains brisk but friendly. You have to remember that they charge by the toothpicks on your plate, so no sneaking a few in your pocket and trying to reduce the bill. It's a good place to come in for a quick snack and if you're feeling a bit shy of trying out your Catalan or Spanish. Reliable old favourite indeed.

I eat there at lunchtimes for Menu del Dia, also a la carte evenings and last weekend, took the tapas extravaganza, not sure what it is called, but they come around with plates every 15 minutes.

Everything I have ever had there is excellent, truly fantastic recipes are created by Lizarran's Chef, and the cook in the Tortosa branch is really, really good.

The staff are also brilliant, the slightly moody short brunette has left, all the regulars are extremely friendly and really make you feel at home. The Tapas night was a real highlight, my friends are still talking about it, our waiter, the manager I think, is an absolute star.
