One of the worst restaurants I 've had the misfortune ever to eat in, and that 's saying something. As a travelling salesman, I eat in about 200 restaurants a year, and some have been dreadful. This place is probably OK if you think that Torreznos are the apogee of Spanish cuisine. So if you want to eat deep fried fat chunks of greasy bacon and nothing else, you 'll be fine. You 'll notice the intense stench of fried yuck as soon as you enter the 1970s themed dining room. You get the picture when you see the formica tables are dressed with red paper tablecloths and clumsily cut lumps of the cheapest white bread upon no side plates, all jammed so close together that you get thumped every time staff or clients shuffle behind you to get to another table. And just to prove it 's really tacky, the walls are decorated with deer skulls and antlers. The food is ghastly: the worst kind of downmarket Castilian fare for God 's sake don 't call this gastronomy or cuisine e.g. tinned peas fried with knobbly offcuts of ham followed by a lump of meat that has been placed on a grill and turned over then plonked on a plate. Or two fried eggs (wow! with 11 chips and three slices of the cheapest supermarket ham, for the modest price of 9 euros. Entrecotes (white veal, not red beef were served with a tiny helping of chips, so we ordered an extra side portion for the three teenagers to share, which was so small it could have fitted on a coffee saucer. No vegetarian options. No chicken either: what the menu describes as Cordon Bleu is made of veal, so it 's probably more like a partial Cachopo. Salad consists of manky bits of Iceberg lettuce with half a tomato, half a boiled egg (grey rings included , half a tin of white asparagus tips and half a tin of tuna. Seriously. Dessert one of our party ordered fresh fruit. This was an apple. An apple; on a plate; just like that. And this claims to be a restaurant. Two others had ice cream: two ping pong sized balls of ice cream... which were served on a flat main course plate! Clearly no idea how to serve ice cream. This brings me to the prices 14 euros for a Menu del Dia, and 18 euros for an entrecote worthy of a decent restaurant in Madrid or Barcelona. Five of our party endured this option, the other seven went à la carte, to the tune of 35 euros each. The staff, apart from a young waiter who was actually doing his best, had no basic good manners, or absolutely any idea how to serve people or food. The two late middle aged waitresses constantly shouted at each other and their clients across the dining room as if this were a provincial street market, and undecorously plonked food, plastic 1.5 litre bottles of mineral water and mismatch cutlery on the table as if it were a punishment, and removed plates whether or not we had finished with them. The toilets were flooded with filth, and when this was politely pointed out, the staff 's attitude was None of our business, we don 't have time . This is a smelly old shouty fritanga provincial Bareto , dishing up overpriced grub which is so bad it doesn 't even make the grade as mediocre food , to apparently undiscerning customers with unsophisticated palates and low expectations of service and food. Outcome: 326 euros for 12 people (five of whom had Menu del Día and one of whom had fried eggs , 20 August 2022. A total rip off.
