The menu of the day was 14€ and the portions were huge. (Is this what attracts all the people here? We were given: stale bread, paella with chicken, which meant cooked rice with unseasoned chicken, close to no veggies or sauce, marmitako de bonito (tuna can 't say much because it was the first time I had the dish, but it was a rather bland tomato pepper soup with potatoes and some tuna, raya a la gallega unsalted boiled fish with some olive oil and dry pepper powder edible after adding some lemon from the other fish dish, but nothing special, lenguado rebojado fish covered in a thick fried egg coating, super fatty and lacking spices and any flavor balance, We ended up leaving most of the food behind and gave up on desserts. I imagine this is what food must have tasted like before spices became widely available in the middle ages and it certainly does not belong in a restaurant of any kind.
