Dos Cuiners
Dos Cuiners, which boasts a central location and a relaxed industrial decor, is, as the name suggests, run by two chefs, Òscar Pérez and Mar Arnalot, the latter in charge of desserts. Their cuisine is centred around a menu of small plates/“raciones” perfect for sharing, enabling guests to taste a larger number of dishes (they recommend 3 or 4), with a continual focus on contemporary Catalan cooking with a hint of fusion influence. They also offer a good-value-for-money lunchtime menu, an interesting “Pica Pica” option (a minimum of two people), plus a more gastronomic menu.
TripAdvisor review sample · 4.5/5 · 80 reviews
Dos Cuiners in Mataro offers contemporary creative cuisine, recognized by the Michelin Bib Gourmand. Food quality is generally praised for its careful preparation and balance, though some find it inconsistent with occasional mediocre dishes. Service is typically efficient and attentive, but complaints exist regarding slow pacing and unfriendly staff. The ambiance is intimate but cramped; tables are close together, creating significant noise that hinders conversation. Value perception varies: many appreciate the moderate prices and quality, while others feel the cost is excessive relative to the experience, citing issues like forced wine refills. It suits adventurous diners who prioritize culinary creativity over quiet comfort.
Suitable for diners seeking creative cuisine who can tolerate a noisy environment.
