I went to Recasens a while back for my boyfriend's birthday. I called last minute for a reso. on a friday night. Luckily they still had a table for their 2nd seating at 11. They mentioned that we should arrive a couple minutes early in case we could sit down earlier.
We arrived at 10:45pm. We sat down to eat at 11:30pm. I was starving and not too impressed at this point. However they were nice enough to give us free wine or beer while we waited outside. We sat by the kitchen, which meant that it was a little hot... actually unbearable at one point, I ran out and sat on a bench for a couple of minutes!
We ordered everything to share. To start we had a ensalada de queso de cabra, it was absolutely amazing, I am not sure if it was the salad or the fact that I was sooooo hungry. But I do remember that it had the right amount of seeds, nuts, fruit, cheese, leafs and dressing to make me want more! We ordered a mixed meat plate and a mixed cheese plate for our main with tons of pan con tomate.... they should work a bit harder on their pan con tomate. All the regular meats were included, fuet, chorizo, paté, butifarra, iberic serrano ham etc... the cheeses sorry i cannot remember the names.. but there was a blue, a goat, a brie a hard a soft etc... Everything was sooo good especially the patés and the portions were so large we had to take a doggy bag!
Recasens is a place to go with a group of friends not a romantic evening with your partner. It is super loud, with tables on two floors. It reminded me of being in a bodega somewhere in the country with all the locals hanging out, laughing and enjoying a fantastic bite to eat.
My advice, go for the 1st seating, unless you are prepared to wait, and are having a big night out!
