"On Tuesday 19th of July 2016 I went with my friend Roger to have lunch at Bar Restaurant Vilarrubias, owned by Josep Flaquer and his wife María. Josep is the third generation running the business. Before it was run by his grandfather, in the sixties, and also by his father. The bar is located in Sabadell, on the corner of Vilarrubias street and Soledat street. At the entrance they have a terrace with an awning and a couple of tables. When you enter inside, the bar is located on the left side. I sat on one of the stools, seeing how there were customers attending: here is a trifàsic (a drink of coffee, milk and a liquor , here is a sandwich with ham, etc... And sending the orders to the kitchen, Some time after, Isabel, a Mexican waitress, appeared asking if I would like to order something. But just at that moment I was still waiting for my friend. When Roger arrived, Josep directed us to a reserved table, at the end of the room, just before going down to the kitchen. Soon Isabel arrived, and, speaking with perfect Catalan, asked us what we wanted to eat. I asked for some macaroni and croquettes, while Roger prefered gazpacho (a cold vegetable soup mainly prepared with tomatoes and calamaris. Isabel wrote it down in her booknote in capital letters. Whilst waiting, we threw an eye over the newspaper. On the left, there is a nine step staircase that raises you to a loft, to which waitresses Lorena and Isabel climbed in order to attend to clients. In the inner part of these stairs a flag from Centre d 'Esports Sabadell , a local football club founded in 1903, welcomes us. In order to enter into the kitchen, it is necessary to descend five stairs. Leaving this door we saw María, who greeted us, and also an Indian cook who works in the bar. On the table we had these kind of papers that wish you an Enjoy your meal in several languages, including one of them written in pictograms that seemed to be Chinese. The macaroni was very tasty and Roger also enjoyed his gazpacho. When they served me the croquettes with salad, I took the olive oil, that I think that it was from Granada, María 's town, meanwhile Roger squeezed his lemon over the calamari. All very good and very familiar manners. When dessert arrived, I asked for melon and they gave me two slices. Roger ate a biscuit 's cream, his favourite dessert, made by María. Finally, after finishing our meals, we paid by cash, with Josep asking us when we will come again. : Miquel."
