We were a group of 6 people and 5 of us choose the special Christmas Menu, which consisted of 3 traditional Christmas plates: Caldo, carn d'olla and gall dindi , followed by desserts. It took the waiters a long time to serve the dishes, which was not their fault, given the fact that the restaurant is quite big and was full of people. The complain is just about the awful quality of the food served: the soup and the carn d'olla were pretty tasteless, but you could still eat them. The turkey (gall dindi) was quite simply the worst I've ever had.. completely tasteless and dry, to the point that it was a pain to chew and swallow it. Obviously it had been reheated and no care at all had been put to soften it a little bit to make it more palatable. A complete rip-off given the cost of the menu. The only acceptable plate was the dessert. One of us choosed a normal menu instead of the special one. He was a little bit luckier, though the lamb was equally dry and tasteless. For a nice place like this, and for such a special day, it's totally unacceptable to serve an expensive menu of such bad quality. Can't recommend it at all.
