Parador de Ciudad Rodrigo. Restaurante Rio Agueda

Food was correct but not exceptional.The service was kind but, in reality, careless. We order a tomato soup as a starter and they offered us a mini tomato soup and the chief's offer, which is quite silly. The (red) wine was at 24 or 25 degrees centigrade and when I asked for an ice bucket the server replied that red wines are served hot while the correct temperature for that wine should be about 16 degrees. As I insisted he told me that he would bring one immediately but never did. The service was very slow (almost three hours to have lunch!), in particular, because they could not decide who was serving as, so most of the time no one was doing it!

The place was beautiful, the atmosphere was peaceful, the service was impeccable and the food was spectacular. A simply perfect meal.

The scrambled cod was perfect and so was the sirloin. The staff was very friendly. Satisfied as always in paradores.

A beautiful place inside the castle. We chose the Frontera menu and we were right. The food was spectacular and the service was also great. A highly recommended place.

I already knew it and it's a nice place. I think it has improved since the last time. The portions are generous and good. The service is very efficient.
