Muy buen restaurante. Es pequeño y acogedor. Comida, servicio y trato excelente. Todo lo que probamos estaba genial. Productos de calidad y bien tratados. Olvidé hacer fotos , pero entre otras cosas pedimos una ensalada de langostinos que estaba buenísima, el foie micuit de la casa estaba exquisito, así como el steak tartar, solomillo y el rabo de ternera que de tierno se deshacía solo con tocarlo.

Sorpresa agradable a Castellar. Restaurant molt ben ambientat, amb estovalles i llum indirecte a cada taula, cadires còmodes i un servei amable i servicial. Vem fer un menú en feiner que actualment val 20 eur amb beguda i postres. Fideuà ,trinxat, galta rostida, bacallà i bunyols i mouse de xocolata de postres. Tot molt ben presentat i amb qualitat. La quantitat adequada al preu que pagues. Pel meu gust milloraria el trinxat; li faltava col ,un toc d'all i una mica de botifarra negre. Penso repetir a carta per afinar aquesta valoració.

Hem dinat tan bé la meva parella i jo que hem felicitat a la propietària. Tot estava boníssim. -Vi negre Petit Saó - croquetes casolanes - Tàrtar de Tonyina - pasta fresca - Amanida de llagostins amb mango No ens ha encantat el pop arrebossat, potser s'hauria d'haver servit en primer lloc, quan tens més gana. O potser amb el Carpaccio de pop haguéssim encertat més. No és barat però qualitat preu, excel·lent. El recomanarem!

La comida es excelente y de muy buena calidad. La carta es variada pero sin excesos. El servicio es profesional y cercano. La sala no tiene demasiadas mesas y la música siempre es suave, lo que permite hablar sin necesidad de levantar la voz. Por todo lo anterior, si no reservas con algo de tiempo no conseguirás mesa. Muy recomendable.

Llevados por las buenas críticas, nos pasamos por Restaurant Garbí situado en la población de Castellar del Vallés. El restaurante es acogedor, muy agradable, con suficiente separación entre mesas. Las elaboraciones tienen todas una línea de sabor contenido por lo que los matices de cada plato son perfectamente apreciables. Si añadimos la profesionalidad de Ari, que nos atendió increíblemente, la experiencia fue fantástica. Seguro que volveremos.
