Aizkorri (CERRADO POR VACACIONES) — Restaurant in Astorga

WORST MEAL YET on the Camino! Location and patio was quite nice, right in the square, and it was busy, so I thought, that’s a good sign. I was hoping for so much more, as I was starving from my walk. I mean how hard is it to make a Caesar salad right?? Apparently I was quite wrong and it guess it was difficult. For starters €15.30 for a salad which was comprised of iceberg lettuce that was so limp it was translucent, like it’s sat in a hot kitchen all day. Next, Iberian ham which was just burnt chunks of fat, no ham (huge rubbery turn off). Next, it was followed by croutons which were broken breadsticks (which was the highlight of this salad). Some jarred red peppers (with the water which made the overall salad even more soupy) and to mix it all together, Caesar salad dressing which was mayo with some sort of white vinegar. No garlic, no taste, it was as so disappointing. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY FOLKS. This please will surely disappoint! Now I’m looking for another place to eat so I...

We went to this nice restaurant tonight, a Monday, while in Astorga for the night while walking the Camino. We were immediately seated at a great table by one of the serving staff. Very quickly we were attended to by the head waiter who brought us a basket of bread (free) and took our drinks order. I had a beer and my wife had a nice glass of red wine (€2.40 each). We both had the Aizkorri hamburger with fries which arrived quickly and were delicious.

The place quickly filled up with other pilgrims plus a considerable number of locals who were enjoying drinks and tapas. The atmosphere was very good with a great decor and a nice vibe. The total cost was €42 and was exactly as expected.

I did visit the bathroom which was clean and had an electric hand dryer that worked well.

Overall we really enjoyed our visit to this restaurant and I cannot imagine why there are so many negative reviews. Perhaps disgruntled...

Parece un sitio donde se puede pasar un buen rato . No ha sido mi caso . Y voy a explicarme ... Primero pido una caña tostada , me dicen que no tiene , que cerveza tostada solo tienen , sin alcohol y en botellín de los de quinto .... Como son chiquitos , le pido dos .... Pago ambos y me siento en una zona cercana a la barra . Por cierto si hay caña tostada ( 1906 )

Veo que salen pinchos de distintas cosas y le comento a un camarero que si me puede poner un pincho de esos que esta sacando de chorizo , pensando que seria como en un bar cualquiera de burgos , san Sebastian , la Rioja ,logroño y ofreciéndome a pagarlo claro esta .

No obstante al fínal me acaba vendiendo un plato de chorizos con patatas . 14,70€ el plato .

Los pinchos eran aperitivo gratuito que ponen a todo el mundo pero en mi caso no .

Pincho ni gratuito , ni pagandolo .

Además escucho como al resto de personas , muchas de ellas locales , les dan a elegir entre las opciones que hay .

Finalmente una racion .

Bueno , acepto .....pero sabiendo que eso no es lo que solicitaba y quien me preguntaba de igual forma .....

Cuando me traen dicho plato , me comenta que son picantes ( no lo son )

Y a la vista estan las patatas , nada que decir ....

Seguramente la experiencia sea buena , pero no ha sido mi caso .

Tener 20 camareros y no hacerlo bien no sirve de nada .

Han tardado mas de 45 minutos en retirarme el plato ( que lógicamente no he acabado , ya que eran 2 chorizos y medio ) Como le puedes vender eso para una sola persona , pensando que haces bien tu labor , yo no lo haría , aunque es solo mi opinión ( cada uno tiene la suya )

Me has vendido lo que has querido , pensando que lo hacias bien , disfruta los 20€ , serán los unicos veras de mi .

Por cierto la unica camarera que esta sacando platos , esta coja .

Aclaro Yo no queria un pincho gratis Quería un pincho

Mi intención era cenar algo más tarde y no he cenado lo que pretendía .

Lo dicho para mi una mala experiencia .

No tiene por que reflejar la experiencia de los demás . Esta es...
