Algarabia - Barichara

The setting is quite cosy and the owner was quite welcoming when we arrived. Overall, the food (paella and albondigas) was good but expensive compared to what had seen elsewhere. The owner was kind enough to prepare us a simple salad for the 5 of us (not on the menu,) consisting of lettuce, tomatoes, olives and onions. We were justifiably shocked when we were charged 100,000 pesos (a little over USD 40) for this effort. When we questioned this bizarre price (worth 2x the bottle of Spanish wine,) we were told coldly that the ingredients were not from the region. Though he reluctantly lowered the price, this incident soured our experience.

The place is lovely, with nice music, a parrot will hail you when you will arrive in the patio, and the food is good. Can't say it's cheap but, for me, regarding to the quantity and the quality, I took the paella, it was worth it. The owner of the restaurant was thoughtful, maybe a little bit too much, but I can't blame him for taking care of his clients.I recommend.

The restaurant provides a very relaxing atmosphere and the food is also good. I had the Paella and I liked it. They have a very communicative parrot who will entertain you most of the time.

The restaurant is expensive. The majority of the meals are not full meals. For example, it was just serrano ham, without any salad or rice. We also did not like the service. They added a 20% service charge to our bill. Overall, we felt being ripped off.
