We often go abroad and look for local cuisine as we like to experience the culture. Well La Masia didn't disappoint. We went for lunch with our baby, and the woman serving us was very attentative and gave our baby attention whilst also serving us speedily. The food was amazing and just what we wanted. We would definitely recommend going for Tapas - in fact we are going tomorrow night!

The best supper I had so far in Salou. The porks cheeks were out of this world. The sauce/gravy was so exquisitely rich and tasty. Melon (white) and ham was tasty and rafreshing. The Summer wine was bubbly and so refreshing. Good looking place with a much greater taste. A good sign in a touristy neighborhood is the presence of many many locals in the place. That is a sure sign of quality of the service and the taste quality of the meals. I loved it so much that I am comming back tomorrow night. The best croquetas after 5 days in Spain. Go you will not regret it.

We like the boquerones and the calamares andaluz. You can see that they are fresh and not from precooked frozen packages. The price is correct and the quantity is good. The owner and the server are both extremely friendly and cheerful. You feel very welcome.

I'm giving 5 stars because I cant give 10! Local family business. Went in first day for tapas. All cooked from fresh, absolutely delicious. Had a chat with the lady that I was disappointed with the tourist food around Salou and wanted to eat a real paella. We came back next day for a fresh amazing sea food paella, again, cooked from fresh. So happy that we found this gem in Salou as we like to experience local food not burgers and kebabs. Service amazing.. very friendly people. Would eat there every day

Une bien belle adresse ! Carte sur une seule page avec des tapas froids et des tapas chauds. Portions très copieuses à des tarifs contenus. Les croquettes (jambon et poulet) sont excellentes. Un resto comme on les aime, il ne faut pas hésiter à y aller. Il y a plus de locaux que de touristes, c'est une preuve de qualité.
