What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
En la Parra offers an upscale dining experience with creative, high-quality dishes, particularly noted for its unique croquetas and Iberico-caviar sandwich. Reviewers praise the elegant ambiance and attentive service, making it a memorable culinary journey. However, some find certain dishes lack a 'wow' factor for the price, and occasional inconsistencies in taste or portioning are mentioned.
"If you're looking for a relaxed, unhurried experience with high-end food, then this restaurant is for you. We were impressed with the price to quality ratio but disappointed with a 5€ expresso coffee. That's just too expensive."

"First of all, I really wanted to give 5 stars but if I'm reviewing a place depending on their credentials, this place actually deserves 3 even though we had a lovely evening. If it wasn't a Michelin restaurant, I would ignore a lot and would give a better review. Also Spanish is not my native, if I misunderstood anything, feel free to correct me. I chose this restaurant to enjoy with my 9-year old son as En La Parra has menu infantil. My son decided to go for Granito menu. He enjoyed this experience thoroughly. The starters have a flow and everything was distinct yet balanced. The bread is bought from another bakery, which is a big NO for me at a Michelin restaurant. It was good, the problem is not that. Once Parte del Todo started, I felt like the coherence slipped and plates became very generic. The taste was very good but it was missing that Wow factor. Desserts were good also but apart from the bombon and piñon, I don't remember the taste of the others. I will definitely try to recreate the piñon.
Service was very good, it was my son's second experience in a Michelin guide restaurant and first proper Michelin star meal. The staff made us feel very comfortable. It was overall a good experience"

"We love going to fine dining when we travel and in Spain we had phenomenal experience in such restaurants.
Unfortunately, THIS WAS NOT THE CASE HERE.
The price point was very high considering going for pretension over food quality...non of the dishes were unforgettable even though you could tell they were complicated to make and took alot of effort, it's just not that tasty and the small portions didn't help. (Literally one of the dishes is called drops of something I don't remember) some of it was really bad, sorry...but the first dish with the soup was absolutely bad.
Anyway, it was an experience but not a great one. The staff didn't like us at all... We don't speak Spanish and they don't have English so communication was not fun, we saw they had better conversation with other guests and that's OK, I guess.
Overall, the high price, the fact we were 10 minutes early and asked to wait outside, and several other things made me think that someone was paid for them to get a star...lol
I wouldn't return, nither will my husband who is much more relaxed usually and I guess they would be ok with that."
