Al Lago - Cadiz

La comida más o menos bien, aunque caro. Pero sino hubiera sido por la ensalada que estaba supersalada, lo comentamos y nada, como si habláramos a la pared. Camareros bien.

We found this restaurant on our first night of three and were so pleased with it that we booked the following two nights as well. Lovely food and views across the reservoir.

Great dinner in Zahara de la Sierra at Al Lago. 3 course menu. All courses were very nice and not to fault. Service was very friendly, attentive and English spoken. Wine list includes local wines. All in all it was a great experience and I would recommend Al Lago very much.

La comida es excelente. El chef Stefan y su familia saben cómo aprovechar todos los productos locales. Probamos costilla de ternera a fuego lento y pierna de cabrito. Las croquetas son deliciosas. El servicio es muy amable y eficiente.

Described as a ‘boutique hotel’ we were expecting somewhat of a different experience than the one we experienced when reaching Al Largo. Certainly the views were excellent but the room and the hotel were simply functional and very basic. Dinner at the restaurant that evening also proved a disappointment. A blue cheese salad with just a hint of blue cheese while the ribs ordered as a main were dry and well overcooked. Breakfast the next morning, pre ordered the night prior, was a shambles. We were served some other tables request and then for the food to be moved from one table to yet another table. When eventually served after some 10 15 minutes (there were only three tables occupied) what we had ordered was very disappointing. In our opinion, the only tick in the box that Al Largo offers is the view. Other accommodation and restaurants in the town itself offer far better service, ambience, accommodation and food and at more reasonable prices.
