When we came accross the self proclaimed world famous Bar Torro. At first sight it looked ok. So we sat down and ordered drinks. When it came to ordering off the menu (which has a wide range of dishes), my wife ordered the paella, only to be told there was none. So she tried to order another of the varied fish dishes, only to be told the only fish they had left was hake. So she ordered the hake, after being told it was excellent. I tried to order steak, then chicken only to be told only meat left was pork. At this point alarm bells should have rang and we should have left (after all how can you be out of everthing at 8pm in the evening), but being tired, we thought no we will give it a go. The pork was ok but the aubergines were like greasy mush. The hake was'nt to bad until a third of the way through the waiter put some sort of green greasy sause over it which completley ruined her fish. We decided to skip desert, paid the 40 euro fee for the 2 dinners, 2 glasses of wine and small beer and left. Whilst sitting at a bar further along the river we had to laugh, and came to the conclusion that Bar Torros can only be world famous for having absoultley nothing it advertises on its menu. Gordon Ramsey would have his work cut out sorting out this place. Over the next couple of days we found a number of very nice restaurants behind the citys cathedral which had a good atmosphere and good food.
