Background
About La Tata
The Story
La Tata sits on Carrer de Calàbria in Sant Antoni behind a gold-lettered facade that reads 'Restaurant La Tata Cafeteria', signalling how the room works in practice: a cafeteria-restaurant that opens early and keeps going until late, with a proper lunch and dinner service built around Catalan classics. The dining room is unfussy and warm, white tablecloths and bonsai centrepieces on round tables, with a terrace that fills when the weather allows. The kitchen turns out the classics, escudella catalana, canelons de carn d'olla, butifarra a la brasa, bacalao con sanfaina, alongside rice dishes cooked to order (arroz negro, paella de bogavante, fideuà de calamar) and Sergi Roig's MR.SR tasting menu which rotates each season.
The Cuisine
Traditional Catalan market cooking with a creative edge. The carta de temporada spans Catalan classics (escudella catalana, canelons de carn d'olla, butifarra a la brasa, bacalao con sanfaina, alcachofa del Prat confitada), rice dishes cooked to order (paella marinera, arroz negro, paella de bogavante at €57, paella de butifarra y alcachofas, paella vegetal), and seasonal fish mains (suquet de rape, suprema de lubina, rodaballo al horno, bacalao al pil-pil, dorada a la donostiarra). Meats lean to the grill: steak tartar al estilo Sergi Roig, entrecot de Black Angus, solomillo gallego with Pedro Ximénez or café de París, rabo de toro, chuletón de vaca madurado 41 días. Two tasting menus run alongside the carta: DEGUSTACIÓN MR.SR at €63 (or €87 with wine pairing) and DEGUSTACIÓN COCINA CATALANA at €58 (or €75 with pairing).
The Team
La Tata's kitchen is led by Sergi Roig, who signs his tasting menu as MR.SR and, in the restaurant's own words, is responsible for the creativity and direction of the dishes, rotating the Degustación MR.SR each quarter and choosing the wines that pair with it. Front-of-house is attentive and warm without being formal, a style the restaurant describes as 'sophisticated and unpretentious'.

Experience
La Tata Dining Experience
Warm and unfussy. White tablecloths, warm lighting, a spotless dining room with dark-wood chairs and bonsai tree centrepieces on round tables, plus a terrace that fills when the weather allows. The restaurant describes itself as simple and elegant, sophisticated and unpretentious at the same time, and the gold-lettered facade reading 'Restaurant La Tata Cafeteria' signals how the room works: a proper neighbourhood restaurant that also opens early as a café.
