Espai Culinari Cafè De Mar Menu

From a reviewer’s perspective, the menu at Espai Culinari Cafè De Mar in Mataró presents a well-balanced selection that blends traditional Catalan inspiration with coastal freshness and a touch of modern creativity. In the evening “Carta de nit,” standout dishes include Costelles de porc duroc estil barbacoa casolana, offering a hearty, smoky richness, alongside Peix fregit de la llotja d’Arenys de Mar, which highlights the restaurant’s strong connection to local seafood. The lighter yet inventive side of the menu is reflected in Tempura de verdures amb salsa romesco casolana, which pairs crisp textures with a distinctly regional sauce, while La Marítima suggests a signature dish rooted in Mediterranean identity.

At midday, the “Plats del menú de migdia” continue this emphasis on freshness and variety. The refreshing Amanida escarolar Cèsar and Amanida axatonada (xatonada-style salad) provide classic salad options with Catalan character, while Carpaccio de carbassó amb vinagreta de verdures stands out for its light, vegetable-forward composition. More substantial offerings like Secret de Can Serrat en base de parmentier add depth and comfort, and the Crema freda de carbassó reinforces the kitchen’s seasonal approach with a smooth, chilled starter.

Overall, the menu feels cohesive and thoughtfully curated, combining rustic meat dishes, fresh seafood, and creative vegetable preparations into a concise but expressive culinary offering that reflects both local tradition and contemporary coastal dining.
