Bar Castilléjar — Restaurant in East Lindsey

Happened upon this tapas restaurant randomly while visiting Louth.

Although the service was great, the food was mostly non-authentic and a bit disappointing.

I was here on my own, so ordered four dishes.

Patatas bravos (spicy potatoes) Montado de Lomo (special pork on bread) Lola con tamate (Spanish mackerel fillets on tomato bread) Chorizo y vino (Spanish spicy sausage cooked in red wine)

The Chorizo y vino was amazing. Properly spicy, just like being back in Spain. Wonderful and recommended.

Unfortunately that’s where the brilliance ended. The special pork on bread… It wasn’t special at all, maybe deli pork bought in?

The spicy potatoes were with a salsa that wasn’t spicy, so non-authentic. The mackerel on tomato bread was served on bread that was either toasted french stick or pre-bought toasted slices. Nothing like authentic tomato bread.

Please, up your game. Amazing Spanish food is properly amazing and can still be simply produced without cutting all...

All food arrived quickly and was nice and hot and very tasty. Puddings ordered which were lovely and finished the evening off nicely. Easily finished eating within the 2hr slot and reasonably priced. Would recommend a visit if you...

I have to say we were left a bit disappointed with our recent visit. The food didn’t taste like authentic Spanish tapas. The potato bravas was basically small roast potatoes, lots of authentic Spanish dishes missing from the menu such as paella or meatballs. The food was well cooked and tasty enough, but nothing you couldn’t make at home. On a side note my wife gave the waitress a special candle for my birthday for a surprise at the end of the meal, but they completely forgot and she didn’t feel comfortable asking in front of me. I’m afraid we...
