"My wife and I ate at this restaurant (attached to our hotel) after a long car ride to Granada. The price is what really caught our attention. For €10 you get an appetizer, entree, drink, bread, AND a desert! Spanish food had been somewhat hit or miss for us so far, but we thought with all that we would certainly find something we liked! For our appetizers, we had this creamy tomato spread that was incredible on bread, and mushrooms cooked with scrambled eggs, which was good as well. Neither of us care for mushrooms very much but we both still enjoyed this dish. However, we ate so much of the tomato spread we almost didn't have room for the entree. The wife had grilled chicken and baked potatoes, and I had fried fish on a salad. Both were absolutely delicious. Her grilled chicken was all breast meat, and it was lightly marinated in something like Italian dressing, which mildly flavored without over powering the chicken. The fried fish was very good as well, and the salad was loaded with toppings. The desert choices were watermelon and custard. We both ordered the custard and both of us thought it was great! It was pretty much a perfect meal for us. We were glad we had a short walk up to the room. I must mention also, our waitress was a doll. She spoke a little english, so it wasn't very hard to communicate, and she was so friendly and welcoming. When we started eating we were the only customers (we haven't got on the spanish eating schedule yet), so she had time to talk a little with us, and it was very enjoyable! We asked her about spanish words we kept hearing but didn't know how to spell to look up, and about the area, and it was a lot of fun. Also, i don't think this is usual (maybe it is), but she poured us a glass off some kind of desert liquor after the dinner. It was very sweet and very tasty! I would've probably ordered another glass but i didn't know how much it would cost and we were stuffed anyway! Anyway, try this place out if you get a chance! I don't think you will be dissapointed!"
