"The food (menu del dia) was delicious and very reasonably priced. The lady behind the bar was very nice and helpful and when she realised we were English, spoke to us in English. After our meal a lovely gentleman brought 6 bottles of "digestive" for us to try and explained all about each one. Very nice in deed."

"Bastante variedad de platos y buenos en general. El personal atento y amable, el único inconveniente que le pongo, es que no se informó de que las bebidas que pedimos no estaban incluidas en el menú."

"We were in Mequinenza for a rowing training camp and this was where we had our lunch (and coffee breaks). The food was good, service was fine and the coffee was great! However, the room where we had our lunch was a little on the cold side, but that does not take away much from this fine restaurant!"
