"Sehr gute Italienische Küche um nicht zu sagen ein Geheimtipp! Der Koch hat 50 Jahre Erfahrung in der Gastronomie und das merkt man. Kleines Manko aber das Zusammenspiel der Inneneinrichtung ist nicht jedermanns Sache. Der Garten im Sommer trifft mehr meinen Geschmack"

"Also Leute, wir waren letztes WE im El Matador. Das lokal ist hübsch eingerichtet, es ist sauber und die Bedienung sehr freundlich. Das Essen war schnell fertig, hatten veir Tapas und die waren super. Aliolio gab es gratis dazu und wurde auch ohne Aufforderung nachgereicht! Super! Ich weiß nicht was alle haben. Kann sein, dass die Paella etwas länger dauert, darauf wird man in der Karte aber hingewiesen. Es ist auch nicht überteuert. Statt der hübschen Salatdeko könnte schon etwas mehr von den Tapas auf den Teller, dafür scheinen diese gerade frisch selbst gemach und kein Fertiggericht zu sein wie in manch anderem Lokal! Der Nachtisch wurde ohne Schwierigkeiten mit Extrawünschen ausgestattet und war super lecker. Die Crema Catalana kann ich nur empfehlen. Zum Schluss gab es noch Coniak und Espresso aufs Haus...insgesamt ein toller Abend. Die meisten Bewertungen sind absolut nicht gerechtfertigt!"

"Also, ich habe heute einen Cheeseburger und eine Pizza bestellt. Das Fleisch des Cheeseburgers war nicht "ein bisschen rot", sondern im Übergang zwischen gefroren zu aufgetaut, sprich einfach nicht essbar. Ich rief dort an, und kam beim Chef raus, welcher vollstes Verständnis zeigte. Er entschuldigte sich und versicherte einen neuen Burger liefern zu lassen. Dieser war sehr gut. Wie beim ersten, sehr viel Salat, Tomaten und Käse. Zudem habe ich eine Nachspeisen als Entschädigung erhalten, wofür ich dankbar bin. Die ist Geschmackssache, aber ich beschwere mich nicht. Der Chef ist kompetent und freundlich, ob ich nochmal bestelle, weiss ich noch nicht. Für die Uhrzeit war der Sevice in Ordnung..."

"Nach langer Zeit bekam das Restaurant einen neuen Pächter. Nach einer grundlegenden Renovierung ist das Ambiente sehr gelungen und lädt zum verweilen ein. Von grichisch über spanisch und italienisch bis türkisch bietet das Restaurant eine mediterane Vielfalt an Gerichten, die alle frisch zubereitet werden. Ein echter Genuss der sehr zu empfehlen ist. Das Restaurant ist auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert. Ich möchte sogar sagen es ist ein Geheintip."
