La Pena - Banos de Montemayor

Wine with no tapa??? Unconceivable. Local wine was nice but felt like I was drunk. You drink wine, you eat something, that is a rule in Spain: if you don’t get it, go and open a bar somewhere else. Some other customer seem to have the tapa, but not us. It’s not that I’m hungry, I like to enjoy my drink and not feel dizzy, end-of-story

We were staying in Banos de Montemayor on our trip down to the Costa del Sol. We booked into our hotel, but they didn't seem to be serving food. Quite honestly, we forget how late the Spanish eat and we were starving after our long journey from Santander! We spotted this little cafe as we looked for a restaurant!cafe. We went in and asked if they were serving food. The very helpful young waitress said she would ask the kitchen if they would open and, thankfully they said yes!! So we ad a very enjoyable meal.

We just stopped here for lunch and loved every single dish as well as the service! The tomato salad alone was so delicious; we couldn’t resist it! The calamares and pork cheek were sensational. I’m a fussy eater so this place really surprised me. Simply amazing!

Muy buena atención, y la comida estaba bien. Aunque no recomiendo ni la ensalada de lombarda ni los espárragos con mayonesa. El resto todo genial. Service: 5 Location: 5

La comida y el servicio bien en general.Pero me uno a los que se quejan de la ausencia de tapa o aperitivo.los detalles más insignificantes son muy importantes. Service: 4 Location: 5
