It has to be about 17 years since e last visited this restaurant, and friends knew the owner…read more(Alfredo) very well. This place has, from my memory, had a complete refurb in the time and is now run by the third generation of the family (Gabriel - spelling?). The place looks splendid, the ambiance is good, and the service is excellent. This is a high-end restaurant that prides itself on the best produce and covers a variety of cuisines. The wine selection is incredible: https://caprirestaurante.es/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/carta-bebidas-online.pdf The waiter took particular attention to explain items on the menu. I was keen to understand the age of the steaks. I was told that the one I was going to order had been aged for 30 days. More on this later. I'll include a pic of the bill. I had 4 oysters to start, and they were excellent. The other three had prawns, and they were enjoyed too. The young waiter was very attentive and kept our wine glasses topped up. The Chardonnay was equally excellent. Unfortunately, the: FILETE DE POLLO GRILLE A.O.P. BRESSE (FRANCIA), didn't translate too well in the English, and it was shown as: "Free-Range Roasted Chicken". This was my wife and daughter's choice, so I didn't pay much attention. A better clue was in the Spanish, in that it was grilled and not roasted. Roasted means something different to us English. It was a flattened breast of chicken had been grilled. Both women found this to be too dry and requested mayonnaise to provide more moisture. I was too preoccupied with mine to understand the issue, which I only learnt later as to why they left the food unfinished. I chose a T-bone steak which was big enough for my son and me to share - 600 grammes (80 Euros). He chose to have it cooked medium rare. It was cut off the bone at the table, and an older waiter was showing the younger one how it should be cut. the issue was that it was so tough, I couldn't chew it, and neither could my son. Sense says we should have stopped there and then and bring it to the attention of the waiter. We didn't and finished the steak. Overall, we things were fine except for the main courses. At the end of the meal Gabriel came to our table and asked if everything was fine. I replied, do you want me to be honest? She said yes. I told her about the steak (bear in mind I hadn't been fully aware about the problem with the chicken). She was very apologetic and offered us a drink to compensate. My reply was that I wasn't being honest for a freebie. Nevertheless, she took 40 euros off the price of the steak. All this made for a disappointing evening. I am only dropping off one star, as I think this was an unusual blip and not their norm. I think that is fair. I would, however, return, but I would stick with the seafood. I need to iterate that the place is fantastic and the staff are exceptional and you see on the job training taking place for the new staff. I also promised to send the link to this review. So, I hope that feel I have been fair. Finally, I mentioned my two friends (one had sadly died) who knew Alfredo very well and Gabriel gave me a hug before I left.

Babi Pagang is deliciously crispy and every bit as good as you get in Holland. It is no wonder the restaurant was packed out, mainly with Dutch people, each time we were there. The restaurant though does get a little hot as there is restricted ventilation and parking there can be difficult but it is worth putting up with these minor drawbacks. Food is very reasonably priced, with a rough average of just under 4 euros for a mains dish.

Enrico was the most friendly waiter, and we met him again on our second visit, when he was their with his wife and having a meal too. So if the staff eat at the same palce they work, got to have something about the place. ALWAYS BOOK!!!!! Can't fault the food nor the service. You have to get the attention of the staff sometimes, but that's only because they are so busy. Once you have they are very attentive. Air Conditioned, Children's Menu, Disabled Facilities, Limited Parking, but street parking normally OK, if not competing with the church. Highly recommend the fillet steak, and the spare ribs. The children's menu is equally good. One of the young chefs came out to talk to us on our second visit.
