"Sometimes it is worth not to look for an opinions from TripAdvisor! I went there with my wife completly by accident. We ordered a 2x menu for 13,50E, caipirinha, beer and glass of water. The menu had a starter (empanada of cheese amd ham , main course pice of beef and potato and in the end dessert. The service was fast, the waitres was very friendly. She spoke english but when she realise that we apoke Portuguese we left english behind ; Together with drinks we get small breds and a onion deep. Just to stay entertained. After 10 min we get our starter. The empanada was deliciouse! Big, full of melted cheese and ham. Just empanada was enough for an entire meal! The main couse looked small after serving. It had a small peace of beef and ONE potato. However beef perfectly done and potato simply deliciouse! Crunchy, salty exactly like potato from the oven should be. In the end we had a sorvet with lemon and.... cactus xD Very nice refreshing desert. In the end coffe. After payment they offered us a small shot of Chilian aguardente with sugar and lemon. Very nice and aromatic one and completly free of charge! And in the end we get a small guide about festa that was in the city, with no rush or typical for turist places approach you ate and go away . I cannot complain for anything big in this place. So why no 5 stars? The main course didnt have any salad, not even a letuce leaf, but maybe this is a Chile style? Another thing tips are included in a bil. 10%. I like to decide if I want to give a tip for a good service or not. In this case I would give even 15% ;"

"One of the frustrations I often have in Spain is the lack of service. This is not so at El Pati Verd, which is a breath of fresh air. Not only is the food really excellent, the value for money is spot on in a country where some restaurants have got too big for their boots. It is also consistent. We have been going there for the last six years, about three or four times a year, and have never had a bad meal or dish there. The wine list is well priced and varied, with some excellent choices you do not find everywhere. The head waiter, Xavier, organises the restaurant and welcomes everyone with professionalism and amiability, while our waitress today and last week, Adriana, was charming. At lunchtime you can select from the a la carte menu or a special lunch menu which has excellent choices for only 25 Euros, including three courses, bread and a glass of wine. Some of the dishes have supplements, which are really worth it. Today I selected a wonderful fresh tomato soup with feta followed by country chicken stuffed with prunes and confit potato. My partner had fresh pasta filled with nuts and gorgonzola cheese, followed by a tuna fillet which he said was amazing. We started with a well priced glass of champagne (around 8 Euros) and accompanied the meal with a bottle of DO Emporda 3 Fincas wine from the recommended list which for the price of less than 10 Euros was a very pleasant surprise. Two weeks ago I had a beautiful creamy leek soup, then lamb cooked moroccan style in a tagine and chocolate souflee. That time we selected a wonderful wine from the Ribero del Duero region at around 27 Euros. This remains a firm favourite and is highly recommended."
