Bib Gourmand 3

Garbí

Bib Gourmand€€Catalan

A family-run restaurant named after a thermal wind from the southwest that blows across the whole of the Levante region. The owner-chef, who has taken over the reins following the retirement of his parents, is closely involved with the collective of “Cuina Vallès” chefs, and their straightforward approach to traditional Catalan cuisine. As a result, the menu is bursting with legendary classic dishes such as Mongetes del ganxet white beans from Can Casamada, tripe with chickpeas, crispy fried brains, and the delicious oxtail stew. The daily menu is particularly popular here!

Vapor Gastronòmic

Bib Gourmand€Regional Cuisine

Although the word “Vapor” (the Spanish for “steam”) automatically brings to mind the world of gastronomy, here, in a lively pedestrianised street in Terrassa’s old quarter, it is also used to pay tribute to the unusual industrial revolution that took place in Terrassa in the 19C, where steal transformed its textile industry and led to the town’s reputation as “the town of steam engines”. Behind the façade, you’ll find a pleasant brasserie-style eatery with an open-view kitchen, where the regionally inspired à la carte always champions locally produced and “zero-miles” ingredients. Make sure yo

Vapor Gastronòmic in Sabadell specializes in regional cuisine with a strong reputation for quality. Dishes such as grilled rice, black rice with squid, and hot chocolate ensaimada desserts are frequently praised, though some guests note inconsistent portion sizes or cooking temperatures. Service is consistently highlighted as friendly, professional, and attentive, with staff accommodating specific requests like non-alcoholic sparkling wine. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making it suitable for families, but the compact layout results in closely spaced tables. Value perceptions vary; while many find the quality-price ratio favorable, others consider the pricing high relative to portion sizes, particularly regarding beverages and main courses.

Ideal for diners seeking authentic regional flavors who can tolerate a compact setting; verify portion sizes beforehand.

El Cel de les Oques

Bib Gourmand€€Modern Cuisine

A good location in a narrow pedestrianised street in Terrassa’s old quarter. The couple who own it (Imma is in charge of the dining room while Sergio mans the stoves) focus on updated traditional cuisine which, whenever possible, uses locally sourced organic ingredients and tries to revive long-forgotten recipes from local farms, albeit with a modern twist. The name of the restaurant, which translates literally as “the sky of the geese”, is an expression frequently used by Imma’s grandfather to describe anything that was “sublime”. Varied à la carte, set daily menu, plus an extensive seasonal

Located in Sabadell, El Cel de les Oches offers modern cuisine with an average rating of 4.5/5. Positive reviews highlight exceptional food quality, attentive service, and a welcoming atmosphere, describing the experience as unique and worth repeating. Conversely, negative feedback points to issues with value, citing small portions, lukewarm dishes, and imbalanced flavors where sauces overpower main ingredients. Some guests also noted slow pacing and unsolicited bread service. While the culinary execution and hospitality are generally praised, inconsistent dish presentation and portion sizes lead to mixed experiences regarding overall satisfaction.

Suitable for diners seeking high-quality modern cuisine with high expectations for dish details.

Casa Nita

€€Farm to table

The first thing that draws your attention here is Casa Nita’s small size – a space of just 18m². This limitation has meant that they only work with fresh ingredients (which they buy daily from the century-old Mercat de La Independència across the street) and don’t have stoves or oven with which to cook hot food, hence the use of a blowtorch, sandwich-maker, Thermomix steamer etc, to put the finishing touches to dishes. As a result, Casa Nita offers a very different dining experience but one which is interesting nonetheless thanks to dishes that are well composed and full of personality. We can

Ébano

€€Contemporary

Ébano occupies an aristocratic property in a residential district, and is surrounded by chalets and a pleasant tree-shaded terrace. In its bright, contemporary-style dining rooms, the focus is on modern cooking with strong traditional roots, seasonal ingredients and an obsession with defined flavours. The à la carte, including a selection of rice dishes (we enjoyed the “arroz del corral” with organic chicken, butifarra del perol sausage and butifarra blood sausage) is accompanied by daily specials, with a focus on fresh fish, and a tasting menu, from which you can also order individual dishes.

Ébano in Bellaterra offers contemporary fusion cuisine with generally high food quality. Reviews praise the exquisite presentation, fresh ingredients, and well-cooked dishes, with specific mentions of delicious grouper and Cabracho. The atmosphere is described as cozy and pleasant. However, service consistency is a notable issue. While many appreciate the professional and attentive staff, others report recent declines in service quality, citing unfriendly attitudes, slow pacing, and dishes arriving cold. Additionally, inadequate air conditioning has caused discomfort in certain areas. Despite these operational inconsistencies, the culinary standard remains strong, making it a viable option for food-focused diners willing to overlook potential service variances.

Suitable for diners prioritizing culinary quality over consistent service.
