Absolutely overrated and overpriced 'restaurant' Area Grande in A Guarda. Dirty floors and tables,…read moreinside and outside. Messy set up. Waiter had no clue about his dinner items (availability, content etc). After hearing we wanted to dine, he even sent us away at 5 minutes to 20 hrs saying that the kitchen does not open till 20.30 hrs. The cook just arrived and scolded him so he came running to get us back (no apologies). Never brought the menu (I speak Spanish so it wa snot that he could not understand). Acted way too familiar. Then he served us a lenguado fish that was only half cooked, so partially raw. The salad with it was no real salad, just some ordinary unpleasant looking lettuce with lose cut tomato. No spices were used. Potatoes were ordinary, no flavor other than its own. The two different postres (deserts) were both tasteless and of poor structure. mediocre compared with other less costly restaurants in the area. With a cheap wine and some coffee, the whole unprofessional offering cost us an obscene 81 Euro for 2 persons. Pure tourist trap type of place.
Only benefit was easy parking nearby.
Oh and the view as not even that great. There are better views of the sea and coast from other parts of A Guarda.
The sad thing is that this was recommended to us by a local. Of course that was based on memories from the further past.
