Restaurante Cofradía la Tiñosa — Restaurant in Tías

Hello,

We have eaten to this restaurant today with my wife and I must say we were very disappointed first by the food which was tasteless, most of the product were frozen food and not fresh even some of the seafood even near the sea, this was confirmed by the waitress. As a starter we took the tapas platter which was ok but again frozen food. Then we decided to go with the fresh fish grilled, and ohh the disappointment, it was tasteless barely grill and with not even some salt and pepper. To be honest I could have gone to the supermarket buy my own fish and do exactly the same a lot cheaper. The side were 4 potatoes cook in water and salad with no side sauce. Again I could have done the same myself. And for all that the price was legendary 73 euros with wine. It is clearly a touristic attraction. I’m generally writing no review but when I talked to the staff they only replied was that you can do the sauce etc… yourself looool Again I believe we go to a restaurant to eat something different than something that you can cook at home. The only positive point was the wine. I would not recommend this restaurant if you look for something original....

I have never been treated so poorly in a restaurant before. We were at the seaside with our six-year-old, who was desperate for the toilet, so we popped into this place, thinking a family-friendly restaurant would show some basic decency. Instead, we were met with rudeness and zero compassion.

When I asked if my child could use the toilet, the staff fobbed me off with some excuse about it being someone’s first day. I don’t care whose first day it was—a six-year-old in distress isn’t something you just brush off! My poor child could barely walk, trying to hold it in, and instead of showing an ounce of kindness, their attitude was basically, “Not our problem, get out.”

I was absolutely shocked. What kind of place refuses a young child a toilet in an emergency? It’s basic human decency! The staff were rude, dismissive, and acted like we were an inconvenience. We had planned to eat there, but after that treatment, there was no chance.

A restaurant like this doesn’t deserve to be in business if it treats families this way. I wouldn’t step foot in there again, and I’d advise others to...

The staff were distant. Literally and figuratively. Took an eternity to get anyone to take a food order. The children in the group were hungry. Unsolicited bread placed on the table and they ate it. Childrens food arrived first. They were long finished before adult food arrived.. Grilled octopus starter was delightful as were the garlic prawns. Garlic bread was a single slice, very overdone/ burned and went uneaten. Mains - recommended fish was dull and, frankly, pointless. Mixed paella was tasty and went down well. Tuna was again bland and overcooked, a definite no no for fresh tuna. Steaks were good. Bill was a surprise as the children's (4) bread came to €11 and all the beer had been upgraded to spanish beer and therefore 30% more expensive reaching the price of a pint in Dublin. So the bill was considerably more than expected. That left a bitter taste ( and certainly more taste than the fish). Manager basically said it wasn't his problem. We wont be back. A shame, as several of our party live in...
