“ Aprofitant la nostra visita al monestir de Vallbona de les Monges, van dinar aquí, i tot el que varem menjar estava deliciós, tot i que els canalons estaven una mica freds. Però el servei va ser molt atent en tot moment. ”
“ Molt bé! Cuina casolana i molt variada, sense escarafalls. Tenen menú i carta. Fan esmorzars, dinars i sopars. Nosaltres hem dinat i hem estat i menjat de maravella. I això que no els hi hem posat gens fàcil. Hem fet una trobada familiar, de 20 persones, amb criatures petites, també, i el Jordi i el seu equip ens han atès molt bé i amb molta paciència, solucionant totes les diverses intoleràncies que hi portàvem i els diferents gustos: que si no m'agrada això, ni allò, però l'altre sí, etc. Ens hem sentit molt ben tractats, com si fóssim a casa, i estem molt agraïts! Jo he tastat una mica d'alguns plats, dels que veus a les fotos i, com dic, tot molt bo. El restaurant està molt ben ubicat, al centre neuràlgic del poble, just davant de l'ajuntament i del monestir de Vallbona, en zona peatonal, i al costat d'un parc on es pot passejar, relaxar-se i els petits tenen un espai de jocs, pista de futbol sala i bàsquet, tirolina i sense vehicles pel mig. Hi ha dues zones d'aparcament gratuït molt a prop. El restaurant no és excessivament gran i us recomano reservar amb antel·lació, especialment si sou força colla. I també us recomano aprofitar per passejar i gaudir d'aquest poble amb molt encant i molta història. Un petit secret: el Jordi és mag i il·lusionista, també ;-). ”
“ Menú de fin de semana (era puente) muy variado, exquisito, bien elaborado, bien presentado y abundante con ingredientes de calidad. El servicio por parte de Noelia (la encargada) muy correcto y cercano, el otro camarero se notaba que estaba aprendiendo todavía. Como aspecto negativo destacar que semeja que el restaurante ha cambiado de responsables recientemente y de momento no está en su ubicación real sino en el local de al lado que es el bar "El Café" y local social, no hay carteles en ningún sitio que hagan referencia a que el restaurante está allí y hasta que no entras y preguntas no lo descubres. ”
