Bar Restaurante El Cazurro — Restaurant in Piélagos

During our holiday in Spain, we decided to visit this place based on its positive reviews.

Here's our experience: the food was enjoyable, and we tried some local dishes after exploring and seeking recommendations. However, the waiters seemed very busy and couldn't spare much time to explain the contents of the dishes, especially since the menu was in Spanish. As tourists, even using Google Translator didn't provide much help, but we managed by looking at pictures of the dishes online.

One thing that caught us off guard was that they charged for the bread they placed on our table. In other places we've been to in Spain, bread was always complimentary. If we had known we had to pay for it, we would have declined since we don't consume bread.

Also, if you go with your dog, you are only allowed to eat at...

One star – only because zero wasn’t an option.

Trying to make a reservation was a nightmare — they don’t answer the phone, so booking ahead is practically impossible. The place shuts down after 17:00, and if you arrive before that, it’s total chaos. We got there around 15:00 and found it extremely overcrowded, with no available spots and no staff willing or able to help.

To make things worse, my wife had an unpleasant exchange with a waitress who didn’t speak English and was quite rude. That was enough for us to leave and look elsewhere — thankfully! Just nearby, we discovered Restaurante Pausau, which turned out to be a hidden gem: better views, more reasonable prices, and most importantly, much friendlier service.

Highly recommend skipping this place and heading straight to...

Enjoy the beautiful Sunset while you eat! Very Nice, informal restaurant. Lots of fish dishes on the menu and extra dishes with fresh fish/clams etc. Very popolular. Next to a selection of complete fresh fish (+/- kilo) lots of small dishes (raciones). Nice Food to share with the whole table. Delicious! We tried a couple of them.

Direct view on the see (& Sunset at night). Crowded! Friendly staff. We’ll be back Next saturday to eat a big Lubina (seebass). Already made the reservation

Update: saterday we ate a fine Lubina and we had the pleasure to see the sun going down right in front of our eyes ..the Windows of the restaurant are like a movie screen:...
