What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
RESTAURANTE LA HOJA 21 garners praise for its elegant ambiance and high-quality Mediterranean cuisine, especially its innovative dishes and exceptional weekday lunch deal. While many commend the excellent service and wine list, a few reviews mention inconsistencies in food preparation and occasional issues with service attentiveness. Some diners also note the English translation on the menu can be challenging.
"Nicely decorated. Croquetas were awesome. The other 2 main plates were ok nothing spectacular. Service was good, but mostly focused on the locals."

"Extremely good food and excellent service. The second plate lacked a bit of things to accompany the dish - it focused on the meat and fish more. I believe a gourmet dish shouldn't mean less items in a plate.
The only thing missing in this restaurant is napkin cloths, it would elevate the restaurant to its proper level.
For the level of the restaurant, 22€ per person for lunch is an excellent price for the quality of food your getting."
Matilde Ramos
"We experienced one of our worst meals in Spain. For an expensive 5 star restaurant, both the food and service were very poor. Having relied on the menu English translation "T-bone steak", under the Spanish title chuleta de ternera, we received white meat probably veal, but at least half was not able to eat due to extensive fat. The photo shows some of the fat that had to be cut off together with a lot of sinew leaving only half of the meat to eat. It was also under cooked even though we sent it back once. Proper translation showed the meat was veal which is surprising given veal is normally lean, not fatty. Clearly it was a very poor quality meat and certainly not T-bone steak red meat. Having complained to the waiter twice, he had no interest at all. We asked to speak to the manager who was very aggressive, rude and threatened to call the police even though we showed him the photo. We therefore reluctantly paid the full bill and left. A very disappointing evening. We visit Spain regularly and this was the worst experience."
