Hostal Casa Perico

Weekday dinners were home-style and excellent, with a starter, main, dessert, coffee and wine included for €18.50. The owner was very friendly and helpful. Thanks again for making us feel welcome.

The positives were covered parking and an air-conditioned dining room. Beyond that, the visit was really disappointing. There was no printed menu or prices, and everything was explained aloud. We were charged €14 per person for set menus even though we'd only ordered one starter and two desserts. The melon dessert was just a slice, less than a centimeter thick for my daughter. My other daughter asked for ice cream and was given it even though there were several choices on the menu. The food was mediocre too. The mixed salads were very basic, and I got no egg while my husband did. The paella rice was extremely dry and tasted like, well, you know. It seemed reheated or possibly frozen. My youngest had potatoes with bacon, which tasted processed and was extremely salty. When I said I only spoke a little Spanish because the waitress was talking quickly, she replied in an unfriendly tone, "WE'RE IN SPAIN HERE, WE SPEAK SPANISH!" Tourists who don't speak Spanish aren't welcome, apparently. I strongly advise against this place.

The staff were professional and friendly, and we plan to return. We loved everything we ate, especially the octopus, mushroom scramble and sirloin with Roquefort. It was all perfect.

Parking is available nearby, and the staff were very friendly. The restaurant feels modern and welcoming, although you enter through the cafe. Food was average, though the mushroom scramble is worth trying. There isn't a set menu on weekends.
