Restaurante la Paella

The usual restaurant, we called to reserve, we were traveling and we chose it for its location on the highway exit. Very attentive and helpful, they advised us with the menu. Everything is very good quality, very good price. Without a doubt, the Paella restaurant will become our obligatory stop

In a peaceful, unadorned setting, where simplicity is a virtue and the aroma of wood fires still seems to float in the air, Paella de Cualedro presents itself as one of those everyday temples of good food. One of those that don't need modern labels to defend what they do best: home-cooked cuisine with soul. I had the pleasure of enjoying their daily menu, a menu that isn't interpreted here as a formality, but rather as an opportunity to pamper the diner with quality produce, care, and flavor. The first course, eggs al plato (fried eggs), was a pleasant surprise: served in a clay pot, with a homemade tomato base that was still sizzling when it arrived at the table, and topped with a pair of eggs that needed bread to leave no trace. The yolk was creamy; the whole thing was comforting and honest. The pork tenderloin that followed, tender and well-seared on the grill, was accompanied by golden potatoes, with that crunchy, buttery texture that can only be achieved when fried slowly. The meat was cooked to perfection, juicy, and with a light touch of garlic and parsley that enhanced its flavor without disguising it. The friendly, efficient service adds value: here you feel welcome, not as a customer, but as part of the place. The menu is accompanied by a drink and dessert or coffee, and for a more than reasonable price, you leave satisfied, both in the stomach and in the spirit. Paella de Cualedro is one of those places that keeps the tradition of the daily menu alive as it should be: uncomplicated, but with all the dignity of good daily work. ⭐ Rating: 8.5/10 💸 Daily Menu: excellent value. 📍 Cualedro, Ourense

Restaurant next to the highway. It's next to a gas station, with parking next to it and across the street. On our way to Orense, we stopped for breakfast. It was a good breakfast with toast and a good price. On the way home, we stopped again and ate from the set menu. The menu is amazing, with a wide variety of starters and main courses, and includes dessert or coffee for €16. The dishes are hearty (a large amount of food). We will return.

We stopped for coffee on a trip. The tortilla skewer, with honors. The waitress was very friendly and fast! I saw the prices and dishes of the restaurant when I left and it was very early (if not, I would have stayed to eat...)

A great place for those who like to eat heartily, inexpensive and pleasant.. Menu of the day - 15 euros.. wine and desserts included.. We are traveling from Seville, I will note this place as the best of what we visited at gas stations.. The staff is responsive and pleasant, we are happy.. We stopped on the way back to have lunch., great! Thanks to this place!!!👍👍👍

We stopped because it was visible from the A52 and realized there was no need to go too far. We were told that if we didn't have a reservation, we would have to wait about 30 minutes. We had a drink while we waited, with very friendly staff. When we entered the dining room, the table was spacious and well-positioned, with a perfect temperature (around 31°C outside). The €16 menu included cod salad, among many first courses, including tripe with chickpeas, various salads, soups, hors d'oeuvres... Wow. And main courses included various types of steak, fish, lamb, sirloin, secret steak... The quality and quantity were simply excellent. The desserts were excellent. In short, it's definitely worth a visit. Next time, we'll consider making a reservation... although the wait time was undoubtedly made up for by the friendly staff and the excellent quality of the food.

The food is delicious and the lemon mousse is a vice; The photos are of some of the foods we tried

Two adults and two children ate for €51, a Sunday menu of exceptional quality, featuring real, local food. The service was unbeatable, the women on hand, attentive to everything, super diligent, friendly, and quick to solve problems, considering the place was packed. It's a great start to the vacation :)
