We went to Matoro to watch the Good Friday procession. We were wondering around looking for something to eat . So happy we entered El Raco de Jabugo. First the staff - absolute stars - regardless of the language barrier - we spoke Scottish and a bit of broken Spanish - staff spoke French, Catalan, Arabic and Spanish - but with a lot of smiles we ordered our degustation menus. And then the Catalan food heaven started to arrive - cured meats - Catalan's favourite were of a great quality and freshly cut. The gradual selection of cheeses was also a fine representation of the local cheese making. By this point we knew we found a wee food gem. But they didn't stop - local staples such as calamari a la Romana, patatas bravas and croquettes de jamon were absolute delight - balanced flavour, great crunch and complimented by the greatest Alioli salsa I've tried. Then the main/segondo - a finest selection of grilled local meats and sausages - rabbit,lamb and pork. In addition - thinly sliced fine cuts of pork Iberico served raw on the table with a hot stone to cook to your own liking. For the final - amazing cream Catalan and some absolutely outstanding nougat ice-cream from Toron. All of that generously washed down with 3 bottles of - not expensive but decent local wine and some great coffee at the end so we can make our way back home after so much food. And all this absolutely outstanding food and service at the very acceptable price of 32 euros per person. Best value for money in Catalunia. Thank you El Raco the Jabugo- you were amazing and I hope you have a great season ahead . All the best from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🥰

My new favourite restaurant. It has an inviting rustic ambience with fantastic staff. We turned up unannounced as a party of 7 and the staff went out of their way to move furniture around so we could all sit together. The food was amazing, a fantastic authentic dining experience. The first course was a platter of cold cured meats, traditionally prepared toast, salad and roasted vegetables. Second course was a platter of roasted meats, a rabbit, pork ribs, black pudding, lamb chops and sausage and a platter of raw meats, thinly slicedto be cooked at the table on a hot stone sat in lava rock as we went. The dessert course was a selection of traditional Catalan puddings and ice creams. All finished with a gorgeous espresso. All this as well as wine and water, for €25 per person. I can't say enough about the quality of the food and the quality of the fantastic waiting staff who really made for an enjoyable evening. For sure my favourite restaurant!

Exelent

(Translated by Google) Good place for lunch or dinner. They have grilled vegetables and meats and a combination of cold meats, hams and assorted cheeses. Price and quality in line and very nice service. (Original) Bon lloc per dinar o sopar. Tenen verdures i carns a la brassa i combinats d'embotits, pernils i formatges variats. Preu i qualitat en consonància i servei molt agradable.

We enjoyed this spot. Limited English so if you aren't fluent in Spanish be aware. We enjoyed the tapas and meat plate. Service was great!

Very friendly people and great jamón!

So nice staff

Very good Spanish ham!

Spectaculair. We ordered the set menu, didn't know what to expect. We ordered the 'iberico meat assortment'. It started with an enormous platter of manchego cheese and several varieties of ham and dried sausage. Then the main course was two or three varieties different raw meat, with a hot stone. You had to grill the slices of meat on the hot stone, which made it fun and delicous. We couldn't believe that all of this was possible for this price! The platter with dried meat, the main course, a dessert, coffee and a bottle of wine for 22 euros per person!

(Translated by Google) Very typical of the area! We took the tapas trilogy and enjoyed it. Accompanied by a bottle of red wine recommended by the owner, a delight. I highly recommend. Possibility of eating on the terrace, 10% more on the bill. But the indoor dining was more typical. (Original) Très typique du coin! Nous avons pris la trilogie de tapas et nous nous sommes régalés. Accompagné d'une bouteille de vin rouge conseillée par le patron, un délice. Je recommande fortement. Possibilité de mangé en terrasse, 10% de plus sur la note. Mais le repas à l'intérieur était plus typique.

Good food and service. Thank you.

Bon ambient

Gazpacho from bottle, salad with the lowest quality ingredients for € 11, and microwave heated ribs. At least our waitress sincerely apologized for it. But another waitress came to dismiss it “we could have heated it up” and “[the tuna was frozen] because it is a salad”. Very disrespectful.
