La Malontina is a very small restaurant. There may be 6 tables total. That said, we came without a…read morereservation and were able to be seated for lunch with the instructions that we needed to be done by 3:30pm - no problem (it was 1pm at the time...you have to love Spain).
The menu del dia was a great value and included appetizer, entree, dessert, and a glass of wine for about 15e. The food was pretty good but the server was the best I've had in Spain (or maybe any where in Europe). There is no menu, the server is the menu. When he started to speak we tried to keep up with our limited Spanish and he stopped and asked if we'd prefer he speak in English. My wife told him she was trying to practice her Spanish so he offered to do the menu in Spanish first and then English. He spoke at a great pace and very clearly and then started joking with us, half in Spanish, half in English. It was really a nice experience.
While the menu del dia is a fantastic deal, I think I'd go of the menu next time. The gentlemen at the table next to us had a stunning meal of jamon, a Spanish fried cheese, and then a beef entree which was cooked with a blowtorch at the table. Envious I was.
