You don't go to Cafe football for churros and chocolate. You go there for the Spanish Cafeterria Experiance. Watch as overwhelmed waiters try to get the orders to the table in a press of agitated and poorly attended customers. It makes for a great pressure cooker of emotions. Observe as another table that arrived well after you gets your order first and what is left over trickles onto yours. Feel the love of the wait staff when you ask about your order as they dutifully shake their heads and say asap and then completely forget. The fourth time you ask where your order is you'll get the surprised look and "what!? They haven't brought it to you yet?" Answer. God forbid you stand up to stretch you legs while waiting for your order because you'll have the bill presented to you even if your still waiting. Let yourself be carried away on the wave and join in with others in voicing your discontent. This has to be one of the busiest cafeterías in Granada but it seems the owners can't afford to have a sufficiently trained nor educated wait staff. This place is a total disaster and is a must visit fir everyone in or out of the service industry so we can all be thankful to the true profesionals that are out there. As this place it the the pit of sorrows of...
Read moreMy family and I are visiting Granada from San Francisco, CA and we just happened upon this gem of a restaurant. The tables are arranged outdoors in a cute square with misters that spray out a number of times a minute to keep you cool. Our server was Moha and he was extremely friendly and helped us choose some great desserts, which is what we started with since we didn’t know they served tapas. The churros con chocolate were divine! The chocolate was thick and churros were the best we’ve had yet. And OMG, the cheesecake really took me by surprise. I’m so accustomed to American cheesecake made from cream cheese but not these. No idea what they use but it’s light, airy and a milder flavor with the cheese they use. Perfection! (I had to take one to go)
Then we discovered they had tapas and had those second. The pizzas were crispy and balanced well and the highlight was the battered fish. I’ve never had a batter on fish (which reminded me of fried calamari in look only)taste so divine. What do they use I the batter to make it so spongy and crispy all at the same time?!? We had other food but I just don’t want to take up all the space I’d need to describe it. Just go and say hi to...
Read moreOrder taker was extremely rude, I sat down to watch the football match and he said if I didn’t buy something to eat that he would kick me out of the restaurant and I couldn’t just watch the match even though there were very few people even there. After I very reluctantly bought a croissant with cheese, he pestered me in a very rude tone to sit down mocking me saying that I could watch the match now. I saw that the croissant looked like it had ham and asked him if it was ham (I hadn’t seen ham listed in title of this food and can’t eat it for religious reasons) and he looked as if me asking a simple question was too much for him to even fathom and gave a baffled and annoyed look that I would ask such a question. a worker next to him asked if I would like to switch it to turkey and I said that would be perfect. I believe he was rude to me because I am younger (19) he was kissing up to all the older men with smiles and jokes but treated me like I was some pest. I Don’t think I’ll come back to this place again and I’ll make sure to not recommend this place to others as I just felt overwhelmed and disrespected the entire time and after finishing my...
