“ Had the menu del dia (free bread, water, pasta, chicken with fries and peppers, and ice cream) for EUR 15. The food was delicious. The place was packed with peregrinos for the day so service was a bit slow, but we noticed that the main server attending to us was frowning the entire time, which was disturbing especially for my companions. ”
“ Had the dish of the day, paella and sangria, and both were great, 11 euros. Also had a clara/radler. Would come back. ”
“ Bar on a vibrant square and restaurant two doors down. Had a great ración of local delicious Morcilla, (tasty and a little spicy). Then a meal in the restaurant where the food was great value for money and the service provided by Rafael was excellent . ”
“ Very confusing. Bar Piedra is listed on Google under Bocateria la Alameda. However, please do not confuse with the other Bocteria la Alameda - separate on Google and 20m away by the plaza, for which I gave a poor review earlier. This place was great - good service, excellent value for money for the €18 three course menu and with a busy, fun atmosphere, mostly full of Camino travellers. Our food selection is shown in the pics. We entered at 7pm (restaurant is through the bar at the back) and found it after much wandering the streets as so hard to eat, anything other than bar snack food, in this town before 8pm. Bottled water was relatively expensive at €4.40. I'm unsure if they offer tap water. Overall, happy customers. ”
“ We stopped here for the menu del dia which was excellent value for €18/person. It was busy with a stream of Camino walkers so it obviously has a good reputation which was what drew us in. Very friendly staff who really try to look after you. Generous portions of good quality, traditional, simple food were served promptly. Riojan potatoes, spaghetti carbonara, meatballs, cod and lamb chops followed by flan, ice cream and coconut cake... all finished and empty plates. Not the place to linger over a drink after dinner but very happy with our experience. ”
