Been visiting PP for 12 years now and lurking on this site for many years but never posted before. So here goes.
5 July arrived from Scotland with Mrs Fussy and Miss Fussy meeting up with Mr & Mrs Friends who arrived the week previous, Mr Friend could be an honorary Fussy. Myself I never have any problems finding something to order and eat. It had been a long journey up at 4am arriving in PP hungry so after depositing luggage it was off to Tolo's. Tolo's has the dubious distinction of the first eatery visited 12 years ago and I fell asleep during the meal!! However this time it was just a shared Tolo's special pizza which was more than adequate for the task accompanied with some nice bread and trampo. This would tide us over till the evening.
Ca n'Andreu - First nights are important never go to a place you've always enjoyed with travel etc you might be disappointed. However with the combined indecision of 3 Fussies and 2 Friends by a process of elimination it was to be Ca a'Andreu. Based on Bonysladenespana review I was looking forward to this. It might have been the fact that Nadal and Federer were in the final set, we were seated outside with three of the party able to watch (just) on the screen indoors but the service from the staff was glacial. Eventually the order was taken. Two taking the 18 euro set meal (gazpacho and cod and red peppers the other main being chicken) the ladies grilled sea bass. Although the mains were ok the accompanying vegetables and chips were stone cold. The puds on the set meal were not up to much but we did get some amusement on the small tub of ice cream served at least it was cold. So it turned out to a long drawn out affair with not a lot to recommend in it, we didn't revisit during our
stay. Total cost including drinks 90 euros
6 July - Tribeca Always visit at least once during our stay so following our disappointment of the previous night the Fussies only elected to raise their spirits by revisiting. It did not disappoint. Starters of soup X2 and a very nice vegetarian starter including pear and beetroot foolowed by a Filo stack much enjoyed by Miss Fussy, a salmon cassoulate for Mrs Fussy and I had monkfish wrapped in pancetta all accompanied by a very nice white wine. 70 euros
7 July
Corb Mari - Fussies & Friends went of for some serious meat at Corb Mari. Not visited for a number of years but its changed hands since last year, gone are the white jackets but otherwise little else. The advice I was given previously is forget starters and puds here just order the grilled meat and a good bottle of wine. So it was three pork fillets and one chicken. All were thorougly enjoyed the advice is still good. Cost 50 euros a couple.
