Fuimos un grupo de amigos a cenar a su agradable terraza, ya que todos los veranos eramos clientes del anterior local 'Las Brasas', y querÃamos probar que tal el cambio. Necesita mejorar. El servicio es lento, y tienen fallos que no se pueden perdonar, por ejemplo, de primeras pedà una copa de vino blanco, la cual no venÃa lo suficientemente frÃa. Más tarde, pedimos entre mi pareja y yo una botella de José Pariente, la cual nos trajeron ya abierta (creo que no hace falta decir que la botella siempre se debe abrir delante del comensal), nos la dejan encima de la mesa, a lo que mi pareja pregunta si nos van a traer una cubitera o similar para mantenerla frÃa, a lo que nos contestan: bueno, voy a ver... ¿¡Cómo que voy a ver¡?. Menos mal que vimos que traÃan la tÃpica funda de botellas que te traen congelada para mantener el frÃo, cual sorpresa nuestra fue que dicha funda no venÃa congelada, únicamente estaba algo frÃa, lo que nos hizo beber a una velocidad mayor de la cuenta para que no se calentara en exceso. Mal. Después, llega la odisea de la comida. Pedimos sobre las 22.20 cuatro raciones: Bacalao dorado, moraga, abanico ibérico (lagarto no les quedaba) y churrasco de pollo. Ya nos habÃa avisado previamente el camarero que si habÃa ya muchos pedidos a esa hora quizá iba a tardar algo. Bueno, decimos que no nos importa esperar un poco. Para nuestra sorpresa, las raciones del Bacalao dorado y la de abanico salen enseguida, perfecto. Y aquà empieza el atasco y la decepción. Primero, el Bacalao no es nada del otro mundo, con el huevo hecho más bien tortilla y la ración de abanico venÃa con la carne algo dura y con más cantidad de patata frita que carne. Una vez acabadas estas raciones, empieza a retrasarse mucho la llegada de las otras dos. En ese periodo de tiempo, una de mis compañeras decide pedir un lomo de Bacalao ya que al llevar ortodoncia le cuesta morder. Bien, pues el Bacalao aparece en la mesa mucho antes que el churrasco de pollo y la moraga, todavÃa sin aparecer ni dar señales. Cabe decir que el Bacalao en carta se ofrece como Bacalao con ajo confitado y salsa alioli, a lo que vemos que la salsa alioli brilla por su ausencia, teniendo que pedirla aparte, a lo que nos dicen que ya viene en el plato. ERROR. Eso que venÃa en el plato no era alioli, era el tÃpico machado de aceite, ajo y perejil hecho con mortero, y el ajo venÃa frito, no confitado. Aunque debo decir que estaba bueno, con verduras a la brasa. Al rato, aparece el churrasco de pollo, cuando ya Ãbamos perdiendo un poquito la paciencia por la larga espera. El pollo estaba bueno, tierno y jugoso. Pero la moraga sigue sin venir. La terraza llena, los camareros ya se veÃa que estaban estresado y algo 'desubicados'. Nos dan las 00 de la noche (habÃamos pedido a las 22.20), preguntamos ya algo impacientes y hambrientos por la moraga, y nos dicen que se les ha pasado, tanto la nuestra como la de otra mesa, que ahora nos la traÃan. 00.15, por fin, llega la moraga, la cual duró en el plato 3min contados, del hambre que tenÃamos. En ese transcurso vimos como gente que habÃa llegado de novo a las mesas, se iban al rato enfadadas ya que no hubo manera de que ningún camarero se fijara y las atendiera. Pedimos la cuenta y a su favor tengo que decir que nos invitaron a la ración de moraga por la espera y las molestias y a chupitos, se agradece después de todo. Cabe decir que nos quedamos echando unas copas hasta bien tarde, gyntonics a 4.50, ya que otra cosa no, pero ya a esas horas en esa terraza se está de lujo. Conclusión: volverÃa ya pasado un tiempo o incluso el año que viene sólo para ver si han mejorado el servicio, lo cual espero, sobre todo por la gran zona de la que disponen, ya que si el servicio fuera bueno, serÃa inmejorable. Peeeerooo.....

The restaurant Lusitania, is a place with large dining rooms and nice terrace. With an intimate and cozy atmosphere. It is in the center of Merida, so it is a good option to enjoy the innumerable tourist offers offered by our UNESCO World Heritage City. F

We had lunch here today (cod, prawns, chicken, meat, oysters). We went to the upper floor which has more high class food and one lady from the staff spoke well english. The chef and rest of the staff were very kind and smiling and explaining all the time. The service was great (the best after a week in Spain). We really recommend it if you like seafood.

Fantastic decoration, great concept. The ultimate respect for the animal is to enjoy its parts on a plate. The idea of combining various traditional foods vendors in one place and making it easy to pick various products of various styles is always good. There might have been more beef items one the menu however an honestly displayed and explained distinction of cow and bull did of course make the cow experience excellent. Though it may seem a little bit slow day that should not be excuse for turning the bæind eye to customers smoking inside, hopefully it was the exception that proofs the rule.

We were walking back from our requisite visit to the Roman theatres and we came upon a chef out in a park opposite this restaurant making a vast pan of Paella. We began talking about it and discussing the ingredients and it looked and smelled wonderful. And he was wonderful. But it was 12:00 noon, the equivalent of the middle of the night for most Spaniards. So I came back later - around 3:00 pm - and dug into an order of the now ready Paella. And it was delicious. Although he had been dousing it with generous quantities of smoked paprika and saffron - not one of my favourite spices - the taste was fabulous. No one flavour dominated the dish but you could taste the delicious, brininess of the mussels and clams which abounded. And the waitstaff were extremely kind and helpful. Try this restaurant.

You avoid rundown, desolate industrial parks, when looking for a restaurant, right? Even if it is only a couple of minutes from the centre of town by car, right? You always want to avoid crowded narrow bars with people stuffing themselves with free tapa's with their drinks, right? So they don't have to spend money on a full meal, in a cosy but noisy restaurant behind a far away ominous looking door, right? You feel that Spaniards in their natural habitat, must be avoided at all cost, right? You are of the arrogant opinion that all foreigners have a duty to the world at large to speak English, right? Lovely! Then we shall never meet in this Méson, which only deserves to serve their lovely, down to earth regional food to those who would have responded to all of the above with a heartfelt "WRONG". Stewed oxtail, delicate pisto, stewed lentils with veg, dried cod and other down to earth, well executed local dishes are on the menu. Good wines, reasonably priced, as well as ample set luncheon choices (at under a tenner incl. drink, starter and desert plus coffee) are a daily item. I schedule my travels in this part of Spain around the times lunch is served here and sometimes I stay in the (good) hotel only a 10 minute walk away. They speak better English than I speak Spanish, but have proven to have a perfect understanding of vinger pointing, thumbs up gestures, rubbing of the stomach and, most of all smiley faces, even if a wrong or misunderstood dish ends up on the table.

Stopped in Merida for 3 nights and ate here every night. Truly outstanding from the reception to the service to the quality of the food and the price. Our spanish is very basic but everything was explained to us regarding the ingredients and the cooking process by our very helpful waiter. Not all the staff spoke English but we dropped on and our host looked after us every night. I wish this restaurant was at every location we stopped in spain!!!!
