[@carolcampa5900]

Hola Tony, Today I went back to Vi Cool for lunch and I mentioned to the owner that I came to his restaurant because of your recommendation on your KZbin channel. He wrote down the name of your channel. Thank you again for the recommendation!

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

That's great, Carol, thanks a lot for that. We talked to the owner last time we went there, we always visit the places anonymously, as we don't want to receive any special treatment, but wanted to let him know how much we like the place. All the best!

[@Meritosio]

We were in Madrid in January and had the menú del día at Cinco de Tirso, and it was delicious! We also made it to the Palau de la Música Catalana in Barcelona for menú del día a few days later, which was also a very pleasurable experience. Thank you, Tony and Cecilia, for the recommendations.

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

Delighted to hear that, we've been back to the Cinco de Tirso several times, always happy with the meals we had.

[@RobMcmillan-em1vy]

Hi Tony We have now been to Cinco twice for the Menu, so good, thank you for the tip Robert and Natalie

Dear Robert and Natalie, of all the restaurants in the list, the ones we return to more often are the 5 de Tirso and V-Cool. Always an excellent standard of food. Glad you liked them!

Hello Tony! Thank you for your video, we were in Madrid in February and tried the daily menu from your recommendation in three restaurants. Perfect service, food, we took your advice and always booked an appointment. We have been to the following: Terramundi, La Charta Taberna, El Pazo de Lugo. Another day at La Charta Taberna we ate the famous dish of Cachopo Campeon 2020. It was very delicious. Thank you for your museum and sightseeing suggestions. He helped a lot in organizing the programs. Thank You! We wish you further successful work!

Hello, Tony! My wife and I really enjoy your videos, and we have found them to be very informative and helpful (especially as we prepare for our trip to Spain later this year). We find you to be one of the best KZbin travel channels, so thank you so much for all of your hard work and fantastic insights into traveling in Spain and Portugal. We had one quick question with regards to one of your Menu del Dia recommendations (La Charca Taberna). We were thinking of going to La Charca Taberna for dinner, and were wondering how long a typical dinner there might last (e.g., one hour, or two hours). Or does that depend on us and the pace of the service? We were just curious. Thank you once again for everything. 👍

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

Hello, really glad to hear you like our work! I guess you know you won't get a menu del día at dinner time, so the length of your dinner service will entirely depend on how many dishes you order and how long it takes to get them ready. But I think anything between 1 hour and 2 hours would be about right. All the very best to you and your wife!

[@wingsonwong3233]

Yes! We recognize that the menu del dia is not available for dinner. We were looking for a nice dinner option that was nearby a flamenco performance that we were thinking of attending. We really appreciate your prompt response, and thank you so much for all of your great work. We definitely will make sure to recommend your channel to our friends.

Is it possible in future videos to also give the names of the dishes in Spanish. Here in Southern Spain not many Restaurants understand English and I like to know what I'm eating! Thank you. 😀

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

We'll think of a way of presenting at the same time Spanish and English terms (it's cumbersome and hinders the effort to read material on screen). Whenever we've given names in Spanish we've received complaints. You will find the names in Spanish on the menu, here we preferred to put translations as the main purpose of the video was not to serve as a dictionary but as a guide to what you can expect on those daily menus.

[@LauraD-g4y]

Hi Tony, thanks for all the great advice! Traveling from USA to Madrid and Barcelona with a group of six in late October/early November. Do restaurants accommodate requests for separate checks?

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

Good question, Laura. If you want to split the payment, say 50/50, when the check arrives, that's easy to accommodate and won't be an issue. But if you want separate checks, then you'd better tell the waiter at the beginning of the meal, tell him you want "cuentas separadas". All the best!

Sorry if I missed it, what time of day can you get these menus? How can it be so cheap? Terramundi looks amazing! I'm going to Madrid in September. 15 euros would only be an appetizer in the US. I can't believe you can get that much food for so little.

Kimberly, by law all restaurants are obliged to display information related to allergies in their menus. As for dietary needs, that's a huge concept encompassing many different needs. At the time of ordering, in most restaurants, you can ask for details and request for specific items of food to be removed. Celiacs should look for specific restaurants.
