Fonda Manau - Caldes d'Estrac

Very charming service, the food is excellent. We paid for four disses, desserts a drinks 60 eur, the quality of the meal was according to this price. They are really helpful and they wanted to serve the customers. We are really happy to come back after a lit of years to see that nothing has changed.

If you ever tried, please go and enjoy a special family cooking that will sure meet your expectations of a quality restaurant. Do not leave without trying their chocolate mousse ...

Slow service, one waiter and one chef. Menu looked ok but dishes were a little disappointments. Too little flavours and spices. Maybe locals like food like that but we didn't. Desserts and starter sallads were ok.

I went here for a birthday celebration after walking around this very charming village by the sea. The interior is charming. The dining area is covered by a trellis upon which vines grow. There were leaves all over the floor, as they fall down from the vines growing above. There is, consequently, natural lighting from above. The service was a little chaotic. The first person who waited on us took our order for a meat paella. After about ten minutes, somebody else came back and told us that there was no meat left to make this. We changed our order to a seafood paella. We had, however, already ordered a first course which had shrimp. So, we would end up eating shrimp twice, which was a bit redundant, and we weren 't happy about that. We weren 't asked if that would be a problem. Then, the staff came back and told us that they didn 't have ingredients to give us everything for the first course, the Saltat d 'escamarlans d 'Arenys, gambeta, gírgola i calamar (a stir-fry of large prawns, smaller prawns, girgola mushrooms and calamari) Now, the title in the menu said escamarlans in plural, and all we got was one . But we ended up eating prawns for our first course and then prawns again for the second course. Things took a long time to get served. It seems the kitchen was overwhelmed as was the staff. At one point, the staff in charge came to apologize to us, accompanied by the other staff person, and she used the wrong name to address her employee. She could not remember the name of her staff member. She laughed about people having strange names in front of us. This, I found quite insulting to laugh in front of clients about your employee 's first name. The food was quite good; however, we were disappointed by the chaos, the time it took to serve food, and the mismatch between the name of the dish and what was actually served on the plate.

Very friendly service AND great food best meal in Caldes d'Estrac. Not cheap but well worth it. Thoroughly recommended.
