About a week ago, my family and I visited this restaurant after a long day of travel. Normally, I…read morewould have tipped the waiters considerably for the service -- because it was really fantastic. They reviewed all items on the menu with me and validated what had gluten. Then, they offered alternatives and brought me the best jamon I have ever eaten! However, it was the mushroom dish with the egg and shrimp that had me swooning. I had a pork shop afterwards that was good and my family had many other foods as well as desserts, but that dish was out of this world great! It is the perfect place to visit when the basilica closed for the afternoon break!

The review is for the El Real Cafe. It is very tourist unfriendly. They charged us €6 for a glass…read moreof sangria. It is listed as €9 for a liter jar and three glasses all together is no more than one jar. €18 is like daylight robbery and we strongly recommend any tourist to steer clear away from this cafe.

Anyway, we found the menu quite extensive in the meat department. The waiter speaks very little English but we had no problem ordering the dishes we wanted. The steak was a generous cut and meat quality quite good. The restaurant has old world charm. The pintxos we ordered were up to par with any other restaurant. Price is reasonable. It wasn't crowded like the ones around the Plaza Mayor. But if you want a nice chunk of meat and a pleasant quiet dinner, here is where you want to be.

The food, service and ambience were all amazing! We had the fixed menu and had a choice of suckling…read morepig or lamb. We had the pig and it was cooked perfectly, meat fell off the bone. Nice wine list and desserts were delicious. Our service was excellent and waiters were friendly.

I have travelled quite a bit around Spain - From Barcelona to Madrid, and San Sebastian to Granada…read more-- and this little bar/bistro in Zaragoza is hands down my favorite. The location itself is perfect -- minutes walk from the main plaza. The restaurant has a nice clean and modern feeling with both indoor and outdoor seating. The tapas are divine -- each one I tried was delightful -- the croquetas being the best I have had in Spain. Most recently, I ordered a hamburger, reasonably priced at 6 Euro, and hands down it was the best hamburger I have ever had outside the US. In fact, better than many I have had in the US. The service is excellent admist a culture that isnt sevice oriented. Each wait person I have met is kind, friendly, helpful, and has gone out of their way to make this blonde from Seattle feel right at home in Zaragoza -- one has wven gone as far as to google things for me to teach me about food words that were lost in translation. If you are in Zaragoza -- do yourself a favor and have a drink and dine at La Lola. How desperately I want to pack the restaurant and its staff into my suitcase and bring them all back to Seattle -- where I am quite certain it would be a dashing success! Muchisimas gracias por el buen servicio y la comida excelente!

The best restaurant we've been to in Spain. Service is great and food is awesome. Highly recommend.read more
