Tarragona contains a number of small bars, restaurants, and cafes serving tapas and sandwiches, and local seafood and Catalan dishes like "[[pa amb tomàquet]]" or "neules i torrons". Many such outlets are found in the historic centre, including those at the Plaça de la Font, Plaça del Rei and Plaça del Fòrum. The neighborhood of El Serrallo, at the harbour, specialises in seafood cuisine.

[[Chartreuse (liqueur)|Chartreuse liqueur]] is a famous local drink of Tarragona. Originally created in 1605, it was considered by monks to be an “elixir for long life”. It is produced in yellow, with an alcohol content of 40º, as well as green, with a content of 55º. Between 1903 and 1989, the Chartreuse liqueur made by the French [[Carthusians|Carthusian Monks]] was distilled in Tarragona, following the monks' expulsion from France.<ref>[https://www.chartreuse.fr/en/histoire/the-chartreuse-distilleries/ Chartreuse distilleries] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303073809/https://www.chartreuse.fr/en/histoire/the-chartreuse-distilleries/ |date=3 March 2016 }}</ref> Chartreuse is now a key part of the Feast of Santa Tecla.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2017-10-10 |title=Santa Tecla, Tarragona y Chartreuse |url=http://otcgroup.es/santa-tecla-chartreuse/ |access-date=2022-01-02 |website=OTC Group |language=es-ES |archive-date=2 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220102112018/http://otcgroup.es/santa-tecla-chartreuse/ |url-status=live }}</ref> This traditional festival of national interest celebrates the patroness saint of the city.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.tarragona.cat/cultura/festes-i-cultura-popular/santa-tecla/santa-tecla-tarragona|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220102112018/https://www.tarragona.cat/cultura/festes-i-cultura-popular/santa-tecla|url-status=dead|title=Santa Tecla Tarragona|archive-date=2 January 2022|website=www.tarragona.cat}}</ref>
