La Soldrería — Restaurant in Potes

Excepcional, excellent and extraordinary. I come to the village next to Potes for holidays every year and it is already a tradition to eat out in Soldreria. They use local primary products, the dishes are elaborated and with a twist. The service is great and there are no waiting times. I especially love their terrace, althoug inside is fantastic too. The owner comes to great every table, is very interesting, humble and a true profesional.

Further, this year they have introduced a service of a recepcionist, which is not only very handsome, but aldo does a trully excellent job. If there is no table available at the very moment, he takes your mobile phone number and calls once there is a free one while you take aperitives elsewhere - great solution!

You probably noticed that I am in love this place and sincerely...

The food was good, and the service was also nice until the end. We commented to our waiter while paying the bill that perhaps they should consider adding some measure to block the dirt from the pine trees that surround the terrace. The next thing we know, a man who we can assume was the manager or owner came out to very sarcastically thank us for our ‘great’ suggestion of making their patio into an indoor space, which is not what we were suggesting at all. But our entire meal was covered in dirt, our clothes, our hair, everything. The least they can do is add a slatted fence or spray down the bushes with a hose to calm the dust. We weren’t sure quite what to make of this guy and up until then had a fine experience. My second suggestion would be for them to keep this passive aggressive man in...

We went there on the off chance and they were full _ BUT this is where they showed their attitude, they fixed us up with a meal by the bar - extraordinary. They did ask if we wanted to wait but 45 mins when it was already 8-30 pm was too much for me , not used to eating late. They were amazingly chatty and helpful. The ambiance is superb and the food delicious, I would not call it inexpensive but the quality is there so it represents good value. In fact we are returning to the restaurant. The only downside if any, is that they don’t take bookings - However it is a testament to the ambiance, food and attitude that they don’t need to because it is so good and apparently always full. So get there...
