Mirador Pena Colsa - Los Tojos

Fantastic place in a wonderful setting. My wife and I had the Menu del Día, which included the best cocido montañés I have ever had. Full disclosure: Iam from the region. The founder of the restaurant has been cooking it for over 50 years. Not only it was delicious but more than plentiful. We also tried cheese pate (extraordinary red beans with chorizo (you could probably give it a pass , venison cheeks (fabulous carrilleras and the surprisingly spectacular pork knuckle. Desserts are good, but by the time we had then we were mega-full. Fabulous place, incredibly friendly staff, great traditional food and incomparable setting.

Siempre es fantástico poder ir con los amigos a pasar un día por la tierruca y comer un buen cocido y una buena carne. Nosotros fuimos a el Mirador de Peña Colsa y, la verdad, todo un acierto. Las raciones son abundantes y el trato perfecto. Además, hay que decir que además de estos platos, probamos un par de postres geniales, la tarta de manzana, casera... ¡Pídela! Y además, si todo esto lo acompañas d unas buenas vistas... Pues eso, un sitio de acierto seguro.

Fuimos el domingo allí a comer, les preguntamos si tenían algo más de segundo plato porque era todo carne y nos contestó que había dorada porque a ella la daba la gana de ponerlo y la dijimos: vale pues si hay dorada nos quedamos . Nos sentamos a comer y nos salta con que no tiene dorada, que solo lo que pone en el menú que si lo queremos bien, que sino nada. Así que la atención pésima, muy mala educación, tratan muy mal a los clientes. Las alubias son de bote y la comida malísima, ni mis amigos ni mi familia volveremos en la vida. Es un negocio directo al fracaso. Lo primero que tienen que hacer Es tratar bien a los clientes, que gracias a ellos siguen allí.

Lovely restaurant tucked away up in the mountains food is quite expensive but the coffee was good and the view teriffic

You find this restaurant by leaving the A67 at Reinosa and joining the CA-280 towards Cabazon de la Sal, and then you can rejoin the A-8 or the reverse of this . You pass through the Parque Natural Saja-Besaya. A beautiful scenic, twisty-turned road..... Beware of cyclists ! We were not expecting to be able to stop at all, let alone find food, so we were pleasantly surprised when we came across this place on a bend in the road. We asked for a dish with chicken can 't remember what exactly and straight away we were brought some kind of pate, along with some olives with bread. Our meal came and it 's a good thing we only ordered one meal because it was large enough for us both ! There were two huge chicken legs, tomatoes, lettuce, fried eggs ! , and chips. The coffee was nice afterwards too. We ate outside but we could see there was a large restaurant at the back, overlooking a scenic ravine. The toilets were obviously a bit 'lashed together ' and seemingly improved every so often, but they were clean. Although this place was 3 or 4 miles from the nearest village, it was obviously popular, as what must have been locals were popping in all the time we were there. I wouldn 't pick it out in a town with a variety of restaurants, but it met our needs perfectly at the time. I only give it a 3 overall rating because I don 't want to give the impression that it is anything more than a quaint rural restaurant. But we enjoyed it there.
