"Restaurant que li manca una renovació de la façana perquè sigui més atractiu. Però una vegada que tastes aquelles llenties de casa no calen més presentacions ni engalornar més el decorat extern. El servei va estar de 10, ràpid i molt atent. Un menjador molt ampli i amb molta llum externa. La qualitat/preu és correcte amb un menú de 13,90€ amb cafè."

"An interesting experience. The food is finished off over a charcoal fire. Its simple but tasty . Unfortunately the service is pleasant but totally chaotic. When we stopped off there was about 6 people seated who had ordered. I stood at the counter for at least 10 mins before the single waiter took my order, a baguette basically. About 15 mins later it arrived. No english spoken and the spanish spoken was basque so for me a version of spanish that i could neither speak or understand. So great for a stop off but you need to be patient."

"De entrada no llama la atención, mobiliario algo desfasado y imagen del local anticuada, pero pedimos mesa y a partir de ahí empezó a mejorar, de primero pedimos fideuá, y gulas al ajillo, muy buenas las dos cosas, y de segundo bistec de ternera, y blanc y negre (longaniza y butifarra negra), igualmente buenísimo, de postre sin dudarlo pedimos la tarta de queso, y solo hay una palabra para describirla, espectacular!!! Total 48€ dos platos y postre, con vino y gaseosa, excelente, volveremos sin duda, tenemos que probar los caracoles"

"Restaurante de paso hacia Andorra desde Lérida. Esta casi en la carretera, no hay que desviarse casi. Hay menú, nosotros fuimos domingo. También hay menú de niños. Las raciones son abundantes. La carne esta hecha a la brasa, muy buena. El yogurt muy bueno también aunque demasiada cantidad, en plato hondo. Era un dia muy caluroso y el aire se notaba poco. Por lo demas muy bien."
