La Forastera — Restaurant in Lleida

Awful lunch. I already had a bad feeling about this place, given that the menu has little to no criterion (burgers, pizzas, pastas, Spanish appetizers, etc). The croquetas are probably the worst I've ever had. When the waiter first brought them, they were still frozen inside, so I had to send them back to the kitchen. The risotto was not much better: the texture was almost watery, not as creamy as it's supposed to, and the mushrooms inside were undercooked and somehow acidic. Although I felt like having dessert, I didn't order any because the cakes I saw other guests ordering didn't look appealing at all. The only good thing I have to say about La Forestera is that they have a big terrace—but that's it. Wouldn't recommend anyone...

We had tapas one evening and were sufficiently impressed to return for the menú del día the following day. The verduras a la parrilla, ensalada forastera and chinese dumplings were all good. The menú del día included 3 courses, a drink ( not a soft drink), bread and a café cortado for 15,95. We had the goats cheese salad and moussaka for starters, then chuletas de cerdo and merluza for main course. The food was good, and certainly aceptable for the price- though we have eaten better food, we have paid more for the privilege. Overall, I would say the rating of 4.5 is about right. Definitely worth a visit if you...

We had the most lovely time at the La Forastera restuarant - the food was delicious, very reasonably priced and lovely large wraps! The atmosphere was lovely and the lady serving us was utterly delightful. We really enjoyed the sweet treat she gave us and if we were local we would come here...
