Rte. Pedro Romero Ronda — Restaurant in Ronda

Lovely, cozy local restaurant for a meal with friends+family. Well located too! We got the menu del dia (menu of the day), which consisted of a glass of Rioja red wine (like Spain's capital of red wine) or beer, bread, soup with bits of jamon (ham), rabo de torro with fries (stewed oxtail--a must try in Spain and especially here right next to a bull's arena!), and mango cheesecake all for 30 euros per person! I really enjoyed the soup and couldn't finish all of my oxtail so the waiter thought there was something wrong with it but I just couldn't eat any more :') Would recommend saving space for the oxtail.

The interior was fantastically and completely decorated in Spanish bull fighting pieces--this was my first time seeing such decoration in a restaurant! There are multiple floors and expect to make reservations for large parties and on holidays. We visited on Three Kings Day without a reservation but they let us in because we arrived at noon before their scheduled guests arrived--lucky us! The staff are very nice and the man cutting jamon gladly let me take a photo of him but it sadly came out a little blurry.

We got a glimpse of the restaurant when it was filling up because we returned to use the restroom real quick as there were no restrooms in the bull arena museum next door--staff welcomed us back and lots of locals chattering about. Would highly recommend visiting for a meal as it's a great deal (not a tourist trap) and very lovely setting...

Nach Ausschau für ein Restaurant zum Abendessen sind wir 2 Personen im Romero Ronda gelandet. Ein uriges und alteingesessenes Restaurant, auf seine Weise charmant. Kleine Vorspeisen sind in der Karte nicht zu finden, sodass gleich das Hauptgericht daran kam, gegrilltes Entrecote und Ravioli in Pilzsosse. Die Nudeln waren ungesalzen, aber man konnte nachwürzen. Leider trinke ich keinen Wein und auch kein Bier. In Restaurant bevorzuge ich meistens Cola. Es wurden Oliven gereicht und 2 große Scheiben Brot. Auf der Rechnung wurde dies mit 2x 1,68€ abgerechnet. Mein Mann trank Wein, ich bestellte eine 2. Cola. Diese wurde geordert, aber nicht serviert. Die Dame machte lieber Fotos am Nebentisch und vergass meine Bestellung. Da ich gleich fertig war mit Essen, benötigte ich diese 2. Cola nicht. Ich wollte nur Obacht bei der Rechnung geben. Die Rechnung kam ...und es standen 2 Colas darauf, daraufhin haben wir die junge Dame hingewiesen. (Es wäre für uns gut gewesen, dann hätte es halt kein Trinkgeld gegeben). Sie rannte gleich zum Chef, ...dieser sagte wurde bestellt, dementsprechend auch geliefert. Dann sage ich: schaue in deine Videocam, dann siehst du was deine Angestellte macht und beschuldige nicht die Gäste. Ich muss gleich Null Punkte geben für diese Frechheit...

After looking for a restaurant for dinner, the two of us ended up at Romero Ronda. A quaint and old-established restaurant, charming in its own way. There are no small starters on the menu, so the main course came straight away grilled entrecote and ravioli in mushroom sauce. The pasta was unsalted, but you could season it. Unfortunately, I don't drink wine or beer. In restaurants, I usually prefer Coke. Olives were served and 2 large slices of bread. On the bill, this was charged at 2x 1.68€. My husband drank wine and I ordered a second cola. This was ordered but not served. The lady preferred to take photos at the next table and forgot my order. Since I had just finished eating, I didn't need this second Coke. I just wanted to be careful with the bill. The bill came ... and there were 2 colas on it, which we pointed out to the young lady. (It would have been good for us, then there would have been no tip). She ran straight to the boss, ...who said it had been ordered and delivered accordingly. Then I say: look at your video cam, then you can see what your employee is doing and don't blame the guests. I have to give zero points for this impudence....

Después de buscar un restaurante para cenar, los dos acabamos en Romero Ronda. Un restaurante pintoresco y antiguo, encantador a su manera. No hay entrantes pequeños en la carta, así que enseguida llegó el plato principal entrecot a la plancha y raviolis con salsa de setas. La pasta no tenía sal, pero se podía condimentar. Por desgracia, no bebo vino ni cerveza. En los restaurantes, suelo preferir Coca-Cola. Se sirvieron aceitunas y 2 rebanadas grandes de pan.En la cuenta me cobraron 2x 1,68€. Mi marido bebió vino y yo pedí un segundo refresco de cola. Se pidió pero no se sirvió. La señora prefirió hacer fotos en la mesa de al lado y se olvidó de mi pedido. Como acababa de terminar de comer, no necesitaba esta segunda Coca-Cola. Sólo quería tener cuidado con la cuenta. La cuenta llegó ... y había 2 colas en ella, que señalamos a la joven. (Hubiera sido bueno para nosotros, entonces no habría habido propina). Ella corrió directamente al jefe, ...que dijo que había sido ordenado y entregado en consecuencia. Entonces le digo: mire su camara de video, asi podra ver lo que hace su empleado y no culpe a los comensales. Tengo que dar cero puntos por esta...

Located right by the Plaza de Toros, the restaurant's tavern-style atmosphere, complete with bullfighting memorabilia, transported us back in time. We opted for a selection of tapas-style dishes to share. The smoked sardines on tomato bread were a delicious introduction, the smokiness balanced by the freshness of the tomato. The salmorejo, a chilled tomato soup, was incredibly refreshing, and the grilled goat cheese on seasonal vegetables provided a warm, creamy contrast. For our main courses, we delved into heartier options. The rabo de toro, a classic oxtail stew, was melt-in-your-mouth tender, boasting a rich flavour profile. The solomillo al whisky, a whisky-flamed beef tenderloin, was cooked to perfection, offering a unique and savoury twist. A glass of house red wine complemented the meal perfectly. The service was friendly and attentive, making for a thoroughly enjoyable experience. While the decor might be on the simpler side, the focus here is clearly on the fresh, well-prepared food, offering a true taste of Ronda's...
