The food at Balandro was good but really nothing spectacular. I was undecided and the waiter recommended a fish that was referred to in English as Dory fish or John Dory. It is a firm white fish and it was prepared beautifully with some light sauce and spices. Vegetables that accompanied the dish were bright and tasty and there was a little bit couple of clams and shrimp as well. Portion size was not large but there were these cooked potatoes that seem to be infused with butter and some other flavor that were very delicious.

My fellow diners had grilled tuna and a pasta dish with truffles. Both were good, neither were outstanding. The tuna was red in the middle as it should be but this was grilled a little more than the way it is currently served in the US, where it is really just seared on the outside.

We had a special dessert suggested by a friend who vacations here frequently: tocino de cielo. It translates roughly as Heavenly bacon, but has nothing whatever to do with bacon.

We stumbled through the experience with our limited Spanish and Google translate but there was not a lot of English spoken in the restaurant. Service to get coffee at the end was slow it seems to be common in Spain. We think they wanted to serve the coffee after dessert but we wanted it with dessert. Maybe they just forgot!

It is an attractive restaurant but not a lot of tables. There is a long circular bar you can have drinks and have tapas.
