In 2015, we began looking for the perfect spot in which to start our new project. We travelled across many continents, visiting countless cities, and finally landed in Sitges in 2019. It is a tiny but wonderful village in Catalunya, surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea and the Garraf mountain range.
Although it is close to Barcelona, Sitges has kept its distinct character: the climate is mild all year long, the beach is long and wide, and the small historic city center has not been wiped out by huge touristic condominiums. Moreover, Sitges is renowned worldwide for being an open-minded city that hosts a large LGBT community that comes from all over the world.
While walking around the city, it’s easy to pick up different languages. This reflects the international vocation of Sitges. 50% of the population comes from abroad!
Some important events that are hosted here include:
The Sitges International Fantastic Film Festival of Catalonia
Sitges Carnival
Barcelona-Sitges International Vintage Car Rally
Sitges Gay Pride
Corpus Christi – Flower Carpets
August Fiesta Major
Sitges Bears Week
Mediterranean Ladies Golf Open

What is Cinc?
Not a restaurant, not a café...
Upon opening CINC, we thought carefully about what we wanted to create. We decided to prove that, despite being in the most popular and touristic street in Sitges, we could offer a friendly, available, and attentive service to all – even a one-time tourist visiting Sitges for a single day. We wanted to offer high-quality, healthy food without being a formal restaurant, proving that a quick lunch or dinner at CINC is not a “fast-food” meal.
So, we created this hybrid place that is able to satisfy our guests’ needs all day long. CINC is a place to start your day with a freshly ground Illy café and a croissant filled with homemade custard. A place to have a quick, light lunch with a fresh salad, a tasty bocadillo, and a glass of Barcelona-brewed Moritz beer. A place to take a break as you enjoy a slice of cake while watching the world go by from our terrace. A cosy location where you can celebrate the end of a full day – whether on holiday or business – enjoying an Aperol Spritz and some tapas. A place to wine and dine, savouring premium brands and the very best Italian recipes prepared using local ingredients wherever possible.
That’s CINC!
