The hub of any Spanish village is the bar/ restaurant in the village or town square. El Torreon serves an amazing array of tapas, two choices per beer...so two beers and you have lunched!! I also ordered a 'ration' of Habas con Jamon ( broad beans and serrano ham bits). I also bought some 1st press olive oil...

It's a fun bar/resturant, I was surprised to see how lively it was at 6 pm on a Saturday afternoon... music.. drinks flowing... everyone dancing... it was fun. We stayed for dinner also. The food is delicious, imaginative and well priced. For me this is the best venue in Baeza.

Wonderful

Great price...a fantastic tapa with a drink for €2.60. My favorite tapa is the ochio filled with black pudding...two tapas are plenty. What I like most is the terrace; it's the perfect spot for sunny winter days.

Very nice ,food good is like Tapas ,and cheap 😀

Restaurants in Baeza are pricey. We found this bar-cafe heading back to our car from the cathedral. Although El Torreon does not have small bites on the menu, the food was quite good. Our party had…

Don‘t mistake this bar/restaurant by appearance and menu. The boss recommended dishes that he was justifiably proud of - they were delicious. Serving sizes were also large. We‘d recommend !

Llegamos por una recomendación, nos dijeron que las tapas y raciones eran generosas... Tenían una carta de tapas sin precio, pero no las ofrecen al pedir la bebida, sino que tuvimos que preguntar. Los precios de la carta algo excesivos, entendemos que para compensar la tapa. Pedimos una ración de patatas a lo pobre con queso, rica, pero no arregló la experiencia. Hubiéramos agradecido algo más de generosidad en la atención al cliente, en la acogida

Un buen sitio donde tapear. Terraza muy grande, y en muy buena ubicación y vistas. Cerca de las murallas. Es especialmente agradable en noche de verano. Se atiende con mucha rapidez y tiene un gran punto positivo a favor: Con la bebida no solo tienes tapa, sino que hay carta de tapas para que elijas cual quieres, y es muy amplia y variada. Recomendables los ochíos, especialmente el de morcilla. La nota baja un poco, porque he ido en días diferentes, pidiendo lo mismo las mismas personas, y el precio ha sido diferente, y en aumento. Da la sensación de que la caña+tapa cuando ya te han fichado que eres turista, tienen un precio diferente.

A restaurant we didn't return to during our stay. The service was nothing like the dishes. The waiter was very friendly and attentive, going out of his way to make us feel comfortable, and he achieved that. The food is another matter. I'm not saying it was bad, because we didn't eat badly, but I can't say I found it to be good value for money. I'm a die-hard fan of leche frita, and when I saw it on the menu, I ordered it for dessert, and the waiter even praised how good it was and how the chef made it. Well, it's not a dessert to be proud of, because they were more like croquettes with chocolate syrup than my much-desired portions of leche frita, as they had no flavor other than that of the syrup, something I mentioned, offering some ideas, since I know something about pastry. In short, it's not a place I'd return to. Yes, you can try it, but let it be clear that you won't find the value for money you're always looking for. I want to repeat that the service from the waiter was unbeatable.

A quick stop in baeza needed a quick bite. Nice spot . Waiter was not into serving tourists with a smile or speaking and banging things on table. A waiting style i am unfamiliar with . Had tortilla with salmon and tuna in an ochios, freshly made . Ochios is like a salty bap. V tasty

Bit expensive for drinks mid day compared to other street cafes

This resturant is in a great location... pretty part of a gorgeous town. I've eaten there many times and have found the experience very pleasant.. it is renowned for great tapas portions that you ca…

Me recorrí Baeza para llegar a este sitio que me recomendaron y la verdad...pura decepción. Comida de poca calidad y cara, ambiente ruidoso,mucha bulla y apenas te ponen atención los camareros,casi hay que agarrarlos pues la atención es nula,es como si quisieran que te vayas. Montaito de lomo y berenjena muy muy muy pobre, revuelto de espárragos súper salados y botella de agua en la barra...19 euros!! En fin para no volver.

El martes es un día no recomendable para hacer turismo en Baeza,casi todos los lugares históricos están cerrados y por si fuera poco,parece que los propietarios de bares y restaurantes se han puesto de acuerdo para descansar ese día. Por lo tanto no fue fácil encontrar un sitio abierto para cenar.Un lugareño nos recomendó El Torreón,bar del cual dijo ser un cliente fiel. Al llegar encontramos muchas mesas de la terraza ocupadas por Baezanos que en apariencia disfrutaban con las tapas que consumían.Nos sentamos confiados por la recomendación y por la numerosa clientela local.Y ahí acomodados nos quedamos por 25 minutos hasta que por fin dejamos de ser invisibles para los dos camareros que giraban a nuestro alrededor y la mesera nos entregó la carta y nos preguntó qué queríamos beber.Al preguntarle acerca de los vinos tintos nos ofreció dos o tres marcas sin tener noción de los precios,fue adentro a preguntarle al dueño y al regresar nos dio un precio vago,cada copa de Rioja costaba "unos"3 euros,pero no estaba segura.Finalmente terminaron cobrando un poco menos.Con cada bebida ofrecen una tapa gratis. De las tapas que probamos solo me gustó el montadito de chorizo al infierno que estaba muy sabroso.El Serranito sin pena ni gloria y la chapata con anchoa y roquefort fue mala,el roquefort resultó ser una crema muy suave sin sabor y la chapata no era chapata,era un pan común tostado. No entiendo el entusiasmo de los baezanos por este lugar,salvo que priorizen las tapas gratis sobre la calidad del servicio y del producto. Lo mejor es la terraza con vista al Torreón de Baeza iluminado.

La verdad es que nos decepcionó. Los platos no son para "tirar cuetes" y caros para la cantidad, igual que la bebida y para colmo no nos trajeron la tapa de la segunda ronda de bebida. La terraza se encuentra en una pequeña plazoleta en rampa y no estas sentado cómodo. Los camareros lentos. Para mí no es una buena opción. No repetiré.

The restaurant is across the street from a beautiful tower. Unfortunately the food was incredibly salty and made me sick.

Nefasto. Casi 1 hora desde que nos sentamos hasta que nos trajeron la comida. Tampoco es que hubiera gente esperando o grandes mesas comiendo. Pedimos una Coca Cola con limón, y aún estamos esperando el limón aún recordándoselo. Pedimos papas picantes y la trajeron con barbacoa, se le dice y se lleva el plato, trayendo el mismo con más salsa por encima de la que tenía de barbacoa. Los “Tigres”, son tigrecitos más bien. Por supuesto, ni pan ni picos ni platos individual. “Bollito de anchoas con aceitunas negras” pan de perrito con 3 anchoas y 2 aceitunas, básicamente. Al menos 2 mesas que se sentaron cerca, se levantaron y se fueron mientras esperaban . Creo recordar que en Baeza y la zona, te ponían una tapita con la bebida, si es así, seguimos esperándolas. Un desastre

Fuimos a comer con un grupo de amigos y la atención no fue nada buena. Tardaron mucho en atendernos. Tuvimos que recordarles, en un par de ocasiones la comanda, ya que no la traian y cuando lo trajeron se equivocaron en alguna tapa. Una compañera le comento al camarero que es "alergica al tomate y la lechuga, que por favor, no lo pusiera en la hamburguesa", a lo que el camarero le respondió "si se acuerdan"...Me derramaron un poco de cerveza en el pantalon y abrigo y ni se disculparon. No volveremos a repetir.

Servicio pésimo, comida pésima, pedimos un montadito y el filete no se encontraba por ningún lado, además de otros platos innovadores que no sé qué innovación tenía, además nos encajaron una botella de aceite de cosecha temprana como una sugerencia de la casa, nos cobraron 10€ y no nos dimos cuenta que caducaba en 4 meses, temprano no, tarde más bien. Para no volver nunca.

Visitors should be aware of our experience at El Torreón Bar Restaurant in Baeza. What happened to us there was very disappointing and upsetting, especially because we had taken care to avoid any misunderstanding. On our first visit, which was in the afternoon when we had just arrived in town, we stopped for some drinks. We ordered a small caña, a larger one of about 400 ml, and a glass of Verdejo. When we asked for the bill, we were charged €10.80 — an excessive amount compared with the usual local prices (around €3 for a glass of Verdejo or a bottle of Mahou, normally served with tapas). No tapa was offered, unlike in other bars in Baeza. The owner had recommended the cochinillo and said it would be enough for two people, so we said we might return the following day. The next afternoon, we decided to give the place another chance and went back to eat. We asked directly for the wine list, but there wasn’t one; the owner quoted the prices instead. We also confirmed before ordering that the cochinillo portion, listed at €30, was a quarter and would generously serve two people. We ordered a smoked fish salad to share, one portion of cochinillo, and a bottle of wine. When the bill arrived, it totalled €104.50. The owner had already left, and the waiter told us we had been charged for two portions of cochinillo. As this was incorrect, I asked to speak with the owner by phone. After an unpleasant argument, €29 were deducted — we ended up paying just one euro more than the correct total. Although the food itself was good, the experience was deeply frustrating. We felt embarrassed and uncomfortable because we had clearly asked about the prices and portions beforehand. Later we spoke with a local who told us that some places in Baeza charge visitors differently from locals. Everywhere else we went, we were treated normally and fairly — only at El Torreón did we have this problem. It is a pity that a place like this can ruin the image and reputation of such a lovely town.

This is a tourist trap!! 3,5 euro for a small sparkling water 0,5 liter 3 euro for a small coke cola 0,25 liter

The food was nothing special and a bit pricey. The sirloin steak was rather small, the oxtail was bland and tasteless, and the "baked sea bass" was only truly sea bass. It was incredibly salty and served with green sauce, which isn't what you'd expect from baked sea bass. When we pointed this out to the waiter, he tried to convince us it was supposed to be like that. It was inedible. I wouldn't be back.

I’ve lived and traveled around Spain for several years and this is the worst restaurant food-wise I’ve ever experienced. The consume is from a can of soup and a quarter of a boiled egg. The huevos revueltos are canned meat and vegetables and very dried egg. Do not come here. I am embarrassed for this place.
