We ate here because we were passing through, and it was a great experience. The pizzas were delicious, as were the desserts. My wife is celiac, and gluten-free is no problem; there are many good options. The person who served us was very pleasant and explained everything perfectly.
It's well located and the service was fast. However, the quality of the food leaves a lot to be desired, especially considering the price. The salad had bagged lettuce that had gone bad (oxidized), and the gluten-free pizza also looked like it came from the supermarket.
The experience at this site left a lot to be desired. And I want to make a special mention of the service, I recommend reading that section so that it doesn't happen to anyone else.
Meal:
I ordered the Canfranc pizza and the tomato had excessive acidity that completely overshadowed the rest of the ingredients. It was not balanced at all. I also tried the Formigal mortadella and it is one of the worst I have ever eaten: an unpleasant taste and a texture that is difficult to chew. As for the wings, a friend told me they were good. The Diabla calzone from what he told me was not bad, and both the burger and the sandwich seemed correct.
Special mention for the cheesecake: the worst I have ever tasted in my entire life (and I have tasted bad ones) by far. I understand that they added syrup without warning (they took it away because I specifically asked for it) And this is said by someone who is used to gluten-free products, but this had no justification. Eating it with cream was the only way to make it passable.
Service:
Here comes the most striking thing. They only accept cash payments, which is already quite questionable for a €121 ticket, but I'm not going to get into that melon. What I am going to point out is that they tried to keep the twists. They left the bill on the table, we put the money in and there were 50 cents left over. If the food had been better, we probably would have left them as a tip, but the waitress just took the money without giving the change back. In the end, I had to get up and order it myself at the bar. A pretty ugly detail.
In short: food that could be greatly improved, service with attitudes that leave something to be desired and details that do not invite you to return. I give it two stars because the food, despite being bad, could be swallowed. But if it were just for the service, they wouldn't take a single one.
A very nice place, with very good dishes and quality products. The staff with excellent attention and the location and views, privileged.
In addition, with options for celiac and lactose intolerant people, with gluten-free bread and a menu that is practically 100% suitable.
Of course, the town of Alquézar is wonderful, so it is a perfect place to end the day.
Super attentive and wonderful waiter. I am a celiac, very sensitive to traces and they adapted everything very well, it is clear that they control the issue and are used to serving people with celiac disease.
A very good menu, with many dishes to choose from. We really liked the migas (breadcrumbs), the olla (stew), and the pig's trotters. The cheesecake was spectacular. Perfect for celiacs. We'll be back.
We were eating the menu of the day here, highly recommended, they have gluten-free options and they take into account that the hors d'oeuvres are also suitable for celiacs, we will definitely repeat again!
We ordered two menus and everything was delicious. The boliches, the migas, the shank and the entrecôte, all super delicious! The waitress who served us and the (we believe) owner have been very pleasant. We have also asked for gluten-free bread and they have brought us a very good warm homemade one. Highly recommended if you come to Santa Cruz. Thank you!!!
We went by chance and it was a great success. Small and cozy place. Various dishes and tapas, options for celiacs. At a very good price. Service and attention from the waiters, attentive and friendly.
Celiac friendly
