Restaurante Parador De Galera — Restaurant in Galera

04/10/25 Another visit and a spectacular meal again. There were loads of additional things mentioned that were not on the menu, so don't assume that the menu (carta) is all that they have. I love the fact that they have bao and kimchi, as well as gyozas, making an appearance on the specials menu.

Great service by Juana and José, with the chef also making an appearance and clearly proud of what he does. I thought it was quite a testament to them to see an extremely well known and experienced chef/restauranter from Huéscar eating there.

Despite being too full for desert, just one look at the delicious cake/desert display cabinet was enough to convince us. Well that, as well as the long list of things not on the menu that Juana went through.

We were so full from lunch there that we didn't eat a single thing for the rest of the day.

06/04/25 Another visit today, requested by friends who loved El Parador on a previous visit. As with last time, our food was delicious. Our friend said that the ribs he ordered were just as good as previously. My friend & I shared a fantastic Caesar Salad and the most incredible cod dish: 'Bacalao confitado con alioli de manzana verde, muselina de pimiento rojo y berenjena asado'. The cod was beyond anything we could have expected; sublime flavours of various ingredients that just made every mouthful a taste sensation, all beautifully presented. Service too was as usual very professional and friendly. We will be back!! As a side note, it was really nice to be asked if we wanted bread. We did. So it was no surprise to be charged for it, as many places are doing now. Well done El Parador, you are an example to all. We've been here many times and love it. Today's Menu del Día was excellent. Really tasty food, served piping hot and with a great variety of options. Following a shared salad before the meal, I loved my 'Estofado con albóndigas' (hotpot/stew with meatballs), followed by Costillas con salsa barbacoa (BBQ ribs), and a divine creamy lemon desert. I particularly liked that there was a little bit of diced salad vegetables served with the main course, and the chips were delicious. All with...

We went here again at the request of our friends as they enjoyed the food last time (not Galera locals). Very good friendly service and a good selection to choose from on the menu. Again the food we ordered was well presented and delicious. Now due to the cost of living and increasing costs there is a charge for the bread but you are asked beforehand if you would like bread. How often do we see untouched bread on the table? I don't have a problem with paying and aware of the cost. There is plenty of seating inside the restaurant and some outside in the shade. Plenty of free parking spaces with some in the shade. The restaurant is located just outside Galera on the main road and near the Repsol garage. Typically Spanish...

We have eaten Menu del Dia three times recently and all have been very good. Today, however, was not a good experience. 1st course was OK but 2nd courses were either too salty or over cooked. To top this off one of the desserts was also over cooked. Complaints were made to staff that the salty food verged on the inedible. We were informed that this was down to a new chef who had only been there three days. Although we were offered an alternative dessert for the two bad ones the food was not to the standard of previous visits. No offer to reduce prices was made although the waitress did apologise and say that the kitchen was informed of the situation. Will now think twice before...
