Café La Española — Restaurant in arrondissement de Tanger-Medina طنجة المدينة

Absolute garbage worst service ever, highly not recommended. I ordered with my family 3 products: Ticino Cielo: worst ever,smells really bad u can smell spoiled eggs, absolutely disgusting. Tarte amandes: not cooked properly you can taste the flour. I guess they are trying to kill someone. Lingua tchina: not that great, it tastes like burnt cake you, and you can check from the bottom of the cake. When I decide to return the 2 products, they did not accept returns. Their excuse was 'Oh you ate half of it you can't return, you need to pay(besides we were 3 people of course we would taste that crap). They don't respect customers at all and they are not professional, the staff start laughing. At first they told us at first to pay for everything we ordered. And let's not talk about the skyrocketing prices. I wouldn't recommend Anyone to eat there. If someone decided to go there, then maybe you need to rethink about your life choices. Honestly, I would give them 0 stars, but they are just lucky Google Force us to give...

I'll quote a passage from a book " le salon de thé espagnol, LA ESPAÑOLA, dont les propriétaires et gérants étaient là famille Izquierdo, et le salon de thé français, CHEZ PORTE, appartenant à la famille Porte, .... les deux établissements, bien que très différents en style, atmosphère et pâtisseries, offraient la même chaleur d'acceuil et le même sentiment de confort que l'on trouve dans les affaires de famille, et les deux avaient la même tradition d'offrir à leur clientèle la meilleure qualité à des prix raisonnables. Joaquin Izquierdo faisait les meilleurs gâteaux espagnols que j'aie jamais goûtés, même à Madrid."

When it comes to the delicate tasty pastries they offer the author said " on nous servait un chocolat épais, crémeux et brûlant, accompagné de toasts moelleux, ruisselante de beurre salé fondu. Si nous étions bien argentés et si notre appétit s'y prêtait, nous demandions en plus quelques gâteaux, de ces gâteaux espagnols si sucrés, lourds et écœurants lorsqu'ils sont mal faits, mais si succulents quand ils sont réussis, comme ils l'étaient par Joaquin Izquierdo. Les merengazos (grandes meringues) et les têtes de vaca (pis de vache) nous remplissaient la bouche de leur épaisse crème de blancs d'œufs battus, blanche, ferme, compacte et parfumée ; le triangle blanc et farineux des lenguas (langues) était fourré de pâte d'amande fine et odorante angélique...."

These two long paragraphs written by Algeria bendelac in her biography " une enfance juive a tanger" can take you back to the years 1930-1945, can take you - among other places - to this family business that has become a monument in the city even after the business was no longer owned by the Izquierdo fam, however the successor managed to keep up the good quality and live to the standards and image they built.

And if you get the chance to visit tangier, consider paying this coffeeshop a visit and allow their pastry to take you back in time to this beautiful era, the...

Delicious date and walnut cake paired with a decent Americano, nicely served with a mini bottle of cold water. I came here two days in a row because of the pleasant atmosphere and comfortable seating.

Unfortunately, my experience was spoiled when the waiter gave me the wrong change, seemingly trying to outsmart me. I chose to leave the remaining change with the lovely lady at the cake stand instead.

Because of this, I will not be returning. Tip: always ask for a printed bill. The waiter was a bald...
