Café Celona - Saarbrücken

With daughter and son-in-law, we were arranged at Cafe Bar Celona in the early afternoon (a hint of the word play towards Catalan capital in the title of this gastro company. This place has been on the Saar for about six months; he is one of 14 companies in Germany and one in Holland (Enschede). The mother moved from Emsdetten to Oldenburg, the first Cafe Bar Celona opened in 2000 in Hanover and in 2007 the daughter concept Finca Bar Celona started in Nuremberg. In total, the GmbH employs 1,500 employees and generated sales of 51.0 million in 2013. The homepage of the Saarbrücker company is not very informative; the opening hours and some pictures can be seen, but not the menu or drinking card. Slogan tapas and friends (if you understand among friends, flame cake, pasta, carvings, burgers and sweets is to take care of Spanish flair; Personally I did not say much or better, as well as nothing and the offered tapas are of rather moderate quality. But later. Ambience: large and bright over two floors, view of the Saar, children's playground in one corner, also outdoor gastronomy. Instead of something for younger semesters, the institution reminds me of Ikea or a deli. With effort we found a table for us; the store was sturdy and broke right. Also the noise level (if the playful children contribute very little; Entertainment in a reasonable volume was hardly possible in our area, and with the service personnel we had to scream. Spain is largely experienced by musical sonication, which must fight hard against the competition noises, and not just by recording our ear. My main square will not be here; for the ambience I forgive two and a half stars (if we sat outside in the summer, it would have become three. As already mentioned, the cottage was full of breaks, because it can simply not be clinically pure and not immediately reheated. The menu I got into my hands, however, was quite grounded, otherwise it was clean according to the conditions. Three stars. Service: No one is here to visit a hotel school from the staff and here is a trained cook. All talented powers: good, friendly and quite flotted. The fact that part of our food order is entered into the order smartphone (or how this thing is called and then is somehow grounded can happen, but cannot happen. After a delay, we enslaved and finally got the order back at some point; after a skillful deadline only the drinks and the cakes came! For service only three stars. Food: We ordered tortilla vegetable pan (EUR 7,95 , Patatas fritas (EUR 3,45 , Gambas aglio e olio (EUR 9,45 , Albondigas (EUR 4,65 , apple cake (EUR 4,50 and cup Cake Nutella caramel (EUR 3,50). It is not enough that dishes bear Spanish names and are served in the brown bowls of tapasbars; there are no tapas yet! Only the Albondigas (hack meatballs in tomatized sauces could go through as proper tapas; the Gambas had seen neither Aglio nor Olio, instead float in an undefined broth, were absolutely untouched and tasty fade (although bad TK Merchandise . The vegetable pan (convenience has tasted according to our daughter and also the pommes that had Belgian format. Two dives were recorded, the third one was charged with EUR 0.70. What should have been on the rustic Celanobrot rustic, the gods know. In my opinion, the apple cake was about a week old and the cup Cake heated TK goods. The flame cake, pasta, carvings and burgers etc. we have not tried; Maybe these dishes are fine. At the tapas friend or the tapas friend, I can only recommend moving around the tapas offered here far-reaching, rather elsewhere in our capital to order and consume them with pleasure. For the area of food I am still well averaged two stars; Self-cooked is nothing here, Convenience Products and TK goods are not expensive. price-performance ratio: as everywhere in system gasonomy; I do not forgive stars in this case. But I'm not coming back. If the Saarland (as much as I have learned as New Saarland or Saarland with migration background to ask if it tastes, then he says if it doesn't taste: it was stop emol ebbes anneres! For me, this Emol Ebbes was quite annoying. Conclusion: Criticism in Celona : What does happiness mean? A good conversation, a full glass, eyes that shine! Well, we had no luck here today: a good conversation was as good as impossible because of the very high general noise level, the glass was more often empty and our eyes were not illuminated because of the long waiting time for our food! This is the difference between theory and practice.

Very nice spot near the river. Menu with many choices. Affordable prices. However, mediocre service and tasteless plates.

Unfriendly staff the Restaurant is Not clean at all. Dishes are hardly wasched and immediately used for other customers!

45 minutes to get the food, and we paid 5 euros to eat BRED instead of pizza. Avoid this restaurant. It looks like the biggest joke of the world

I'm sorry to say this but the service at this place is just poor. As I am writing this, I am still waiting for the beer I ordered half an hour ago. The youngster serving here are nice but they seriously need some training. Please find attached a photo of the empty table that well reflects the situation
