Aq
This is a bubbly designer haunt with stark colour contrasts (black, lemon and cream linen), slick lines and intriguing plays on traditional cooking, such as ventresca de tonyina amb ceba caramelitzada, tomáquet, formatge de cabra i olives (tuna belly meat with caramelised onion, tomato, goat’s cheese and olives).

Quim Quima
This renovated medieval mansion makes a marvellous setting for a meal. Huddle up to the bare stone wall or opt for the shady little courtyard. The playful menu is wide-ranging, including sausage-and-cheese crêpes and lasagne.

L’ancora
The quintessential Tarragona seafood experience can be had in Serrallo, the town’s fishing port. A stand-out here is L’Ancora, which brims with mouth-watering seafood and opens late.

Arcs Restaurant
Inside a medieval cavern with bright splashes of colour in the form of contemporary art, you are served some wonderful takes on Mediterranean dishes – from tartar de atún (tuna carpaccio) and the inspired pumpkin soup with morcilla (black pudding) and goat’s cheese to the most intense salmorejo (a thicker, more savoury gaspacho) outside Andalucía.
