But the restaurant is a very quaint and comfortable restaurant.We were greeted by the waitress who is actually Venezuelan and she was the sweetest. I had the fabada and it was the best I've ever had. I highly recommend ordering it!For dessert, I had the arroz con leche and it was fantastic! I highly recommend coming here! You will not be disappointed.

Gayle and I dined here twice during our recent visit to Potes, Liébana, and the Picos de Europa…read more Both were Lunches of which we were here around 2 PM, with the second visit a little later (and within the that approximate 3-8 PM time period where restaurants are not usually serving). We were both pleased and grateful with how we were accommodated and served. Staff English was surprisingly good, although we were still trying our best to speak the language. Both lunches were over a full bottle of local wine and a nice view of the river below and the mountains beyond. We shared the local Lebaniego stew the first time and ordered "steak" the second time. This was all a lot of food, although we did share a dessert the first time. It was all delicious, which is usually even more so when the service and setting is so nice. Note: There's a Hotel here too which is not the subject of this review.

The cachopo (meat stuffed with cheese and jamon, the local speciality) with fries was huge and we shared it. It was tasty. Then the fabes with almejas which was just good. It is definitely a touristy spot and prices are exorbitant. Nice outdoor seating or indoor with great ventilation. Took forever for them to bring the check.

The portions are huge which is part of why things are so expensive. We ordered rice with lobster. There was maybe two bite size pieces of lobster in the whole dish - otherwise you were just scraping at shards of lobster meat. The best part of the meal was the bread. You've been warned.

We had crab salad then turbot and meat and egg 'tort' plus white wine and water for 2. The salad was crabstick based with lovely sauce and green salad. Turbot was very good but the tort was not as we expected - deep-fried battered egg and meat. We then had coffee. Total came to 30€ for 2 - excellent value if you get the right food

So we took a table outside on this sunny day. Our Bulldog was welcome as well. Staff/owner was very friendly. The setting in the courtyard was very relaxing and everybody seemed to have a good time. Had two glasses of white wine each. Fresh, nice, crisp. Ordered a plate of "Revuelot de Ajetes, Gambas Y Setas". A nice mix of scrambled egg, mushrooms, garlic and veggies and shrimp. An unlikely combo, but a perfect match. Tasty! Then the "Foie de Oca Y Compota de Manzana". Half-warm Foie Gras on apple compot. And some Balsamico. And wow...this was one of the best (maybe THE best) Foie we've ever had. And we've had may. The combination with the sweet/sour apple compot was just a match made in heaven. Ordered a second plate soon after. A highlight on this trip and I can't recommend this item enough. Surely, this place can cook. Too bad we couldn't come back here anymore (was our last day on vacation), because the other items looked great as well. Definitely will come back the next time when we are in Northern Spain. I would drive hours just to come and eat here.
