Bar Siempre Igual — Restaurant in Ronda

My husband and I stopped at this cafe while exploring Ronda. The menu had a nice variety of foods and the house wine was tasty. The tomato and tuna plate had a enough delicious tomato to make it a meal on its own. The tomato was cut thin topped with the perfect amount of tuna. My husband had the meatballs topped with fried potato and then the pork cheeks, also topped with fried potatoes. He enjoyed the meats and then used the potatoes to enjoy all of the sauce accompanying the dishes. He cleaned his plates, thoroughly enjoying each bite. We asked our server for a dessert recommendation. He brought out a glass jar with a honey or jelly looking topping over some white custard or yogurt. And at the bottom of the jar was some kind of crumble. I’m still not sure what it was but it was delicious!! (See pics) The service was great - the server was friendly and very attentive. The food arrived in a timely manner and our wine glasses were quickly attended to...

We also had baby squids that were quite ok.

What made the experience worse was the attitude of the owner – Instead of understanding or trying to make things right, we were met with hostility and zero willingness to listen. They don’t even speak English.

I truly hope the place improves, but based on our visit, I can’t recommend it. Tourists,...

The staff was friendly, but the service was super slow. I specifically asked for warm water, but they brought it cold—with ice, even! It also took ages for them to take our main order. Once we ordered, we waited about half an hour.

They served the dishes in a weird order. First came the main dish—chipirones—which was delicious, but the lettuce on the side wasn’t fresh. Then we got the veggies with mushrooms, and they were cold. Only at the very end did they bring out the cheese, which is usually a starter. The cheese tasted great, but the whole experience was kind of...
