Cafe Catedral - Santander

The previous reviewer was perhaps a little kind to this place. It is terrible and TWICE the normal prices in Santander! Yes it is in the tourist trap next to The Cathedral but €2.40 for a cafe con leche, normally €1.20. poor and tasteless food and we paid €11.50 for 2 coffees and toast when the norm anywhere else would be around €6. They have. A captive audience and make the most of it. We travel all over Spain and this place is an insult to The Spanish Community. You have been warned- Avoid

I joined Trip Advisor, solely to leave this review. Firstly, Santander is a beautiful place. Unfortunately, our experience at Cafeteria La Catedral was anything but beautiful. There were 6 of us. Ordering burgers etc. Not brain surgery to get that right, you might think, but you 'd be wrong. My son speaks very good Spanish, and is generally understood well wherever we go. Our waitress couldn 't understand him, but then didn 't even know the menu when we resorted to 'point and tap '. Our order finally taken, we waited..... and waited. 2 meals arrived, and we waited. Then 1 more, and we waited. All chance of a nice meal together was forgotten, as by the time the last meal arrived, the first one was eaten. I had ordered a burger. It was practically raw. I wasn 't going to make a big fuss, until I realized my 11 year olds burger was the same. I went looking for the owner, and told him the food and service was a disgrace. I got €4 off my €41.90 bill. I would strongly suggest you AVOID Cafeteria La Catedral.

Great lunch time, super delicious Sprizz and excellent service. Very classy design and big clean terrace within a very good area of Santander! 5 out of 5 stars! Thanks for everything!

Nos atendió una camarera de forma excepcional. El resto de camareros atención mala. Comida buena pero nos pedimos una ensalada templada de anchoas que llevaba pimientos rojos en mal estado. Lo dijimos y nos cambiaron sólo los pimientos. El chorizo a la sidra y paella muy buenos. Localización muy buena al lado de la catedral.

Very advisable when you travel through the city of santander to make a stop on the road taking a coffee or a small snack, sandwich or a tortilla point or anything else in its default location is ideal joto at the foot of the cathedral of santander, as according to the lower the staircase you give with this coffee is not that it is very big but has several tables with stools and a fantastic service. also if you want to always have that the cantabrian time allows, terrace on your exterior.
