We had wandered through much of the old centre of Peralada, being turned away from one restaurant because our dog was ‘mas grande’ (they didn’t realise she would squeeze out of sight under the table and be less trouble than any small dog). So we were mighty relieved to come across El Carme. It had a real buzz on a Friday evening with families and friends on tables in the square enjoying cold beers and simple well-executed tapas. We ordered a well- deserved Fino while we looked at the menu. I have to say we vastly over-ordered (we were hungry by then) but were advised by our kind waitress (who was doing everything) to cut down the number of dishes. Of course the portions were more generous than we have sadly got used to in UK ‘tapas bars’. The dog relaxed and was petted by children and adults while our waitress brought out their best Vino Tinto. It was excellent and at just €18 did not break the bank. The whole meal was good value and we were grateful to the rather stuffy restaurant that had turned us away!
Service wasn't great. We were ignored at the counter as the staff chatted, the waitress was not obvious to us and was annoyed that we had gone to the counter yet we had to due to the lack of service. I believe this is due to her wanting tips. She took ages to come outside with the bottle opener so we sat thirsty and waiting in the heat but the good news is that there is an amazing little bakery next door that opens to serve fresh bread every morning and across the square is a museum with hourly tours in english and french which is worth a go. It cost €26 for 4 adults and 1 ten year old. The old guy who lets you in is 97 and used to be the butler of the ancient family/owners of the castle!
We needed somewhere to have an early dinner in Peralada after walking the interesting medieval town. This was bar/cafe was perfect... simple burger and chips for us and chicken nuggets and chips for the kids. You can eat inside or outside. We dined outside which was great... a perfect location in a charming small square where you can watch the world go by.
