Asador Calar Del Mundo - Riopar

We went on a mountain weekend and upon arrival this was one of the nearest and most recommended places. On the first night we were tired and wanted to eat quickly to go to bed so we went to the restaurant and asked for a couple of meat dishes – lamb chops and pork secretos . The first impression is that one of a cold and old place but we gave the benefit of the doubt as it was recommended by a local as I wrote before. The waitress behind the bar was nice enough to greet us and ask us to stay in that area instead of the restaurant as there were no small tables in there – we were 2 adults and a small child. We agreed and soon after we were served dry bread and the drinks. The menu is vast, which isn’t a good sign, so we just asked for what was more popular among the customers and gave it a go. We also asked for some croquettes for a starter. The service was relatively fast. The croquettes were awful and served on plain lettuce with no seasoning at all like the one you give your cricket. Very salty and overcooked croquettes , meaning they were also overpriced. The meat is what you can see in the picture I’m uploading with my review. Normal and simple grilled meat accompanied with fried potatoes. The size is what amazed me the most – it’s a children’s portion, not something you serve an adult. Given this issue, the price was also, in my opinion, exaggerated. At a given point we started looking for the waiters to ask for another drink but they weren’t around and the couple of times we spotted them behind the counter they didn’t even lift their eyes to our room so we just had 1 drink, no dessert, and out we went. Paid on the counter. Around 34 euros. On the second night, after arriving late at our cabin nearby, and given these guys had a homemade pizza they’d deliver to the place we were staying at, we asked for the pizza and “oh boy” it was great. They mix quite a good variety of local and national ingredients and make great pizzas. The base is thin and crispy, which all together make the pizza a great choice. The pizzas are relatively cheap, too. About 10 euros each. So, all in all this is a normal place with great pizzas. Perhaps they should focus more on it than in serving simple grilled meat in embarrassing quantities for the prices asked and the waiting service provided.

Coming down from the mountains for lunch, stopped by this place that has a great fireplace for grill, so thought it should be great. Seafood soup , with lots of things in it but no flavour at all. Lamb was pure bones and fat, chuleta del.pirineo not cooked properly so asked for it to be done a bit more, but had no salt whatsoever. Asked for a second beer it took ages for it to bring over. Not nice food at all and very but very slow service and place was not crowded.
