Paella price

Postby Mermaid » Sat Nov 05, 2005 7:07 pm

We had a paella in a restaurant in Torremolinos, advertised at one price and by the time we both had one drink and two small bread rolls, the bill nearly doubled. Wish I had known about the official complaint route.

What was the total price and did it include service?

Can't remember now, hubby paid the bill and was moaning a lot. We just put it down to experience.

Next time Mermaid, ask for the complaints book. Nothing like asking for the complaints book to shake up the restraunter to giving you a proper bill. These books are inspected quite often especially if a restaurant is under complaint a few times.

Just a thought, Paella is often sold for 'minimum 2 people' but the price on the menu is per person.

Similar thing happened to us, we checked the prices carefully before we ordered (we had not intended to eat out and only had about 30 € on us) so we ordered knowing we would be well within our budget and only had a soft drink each.... the bill came to almost 30€ At that time we did not have sufficient Spanish to say what are you playing at, but since then we have queried bills that are incorrect.
