The waiter that served me offered me the menu of the day in either English or Spanish which was nice. I opted for the mixed starter plate with bacalau (cod fish) in garlic sauce for main. I would have to say that the mixed entree as a starter had the best and tastiest empanadas and croquettas I have had since arriving in Spain. They were accompanied by gambas fritas (prawns fried) and patata fritas. All were tasty and it was a very generous serve. My main course was bacalau (cod fish) grilled and service with a garlic sauce and patatas. The fish was cooked perfectly but the dish just wasn’t to my taste but glad I tried it. A flan was offered as a postre and part of the menu if the day. All for a very good price of €17. The service was good and attentive, the meal wasn’t rushed and the food of a really good quality. Good place to try the local cuisine in León.

The scrambled egg dish with prawns was ok but salty and had about 6 tiny pieces of prawn in it. My boyfriend had a fried fish which was very thin and tasteless.Barely a mouthful of fish in amongst the bones. I sent my cod back as it wasn't cooked in the middle. Both fish came with a very small amount of chips. A small glass of wine each. Usually a whole bottle is included in the price. All done on a minimum budget. The staff were unwelcoming and not friendly. I would not recommend this cafe.
