"Update July '24: Another excellent weekday lunch at Empeltre wirh ensaladilla rusa, grilled red tuna and cheesecake for dessert. The service was also excellent despite the fact that they had a very large group for lunch. And congratulations on the accoustics. Normally with a group that size in a restaurant you couldn't hear yourself think! April 2024: Empeltre like its rival Micelios deserves 6 stars for its set lunch at 20€. We hadn't been here for a couple of years and were extremely impressed by the originality, quality and value for money. There was plenty of choice. My wife decided on two starters: the red bean stew with chorizo followed by grilled vegetables with a romesco sauce. I had the wok with noodles and vegetable strips in a delicious sauce and the melt-in-the-mouth pork with slices of apple and a local 'patamulo' cheese sauce. Both of us went for pastel ruso for dessert. A bottle of wine was included and we had a very good Somontano 3404 Chardonnay/Gewurztraminer. Service is a bit too quick and efficient and a little "distant". They need to engage more with their clients, talk about the food and receive the praise they are due."

"Empeltre es una auténtica joya y, sin duda, uno de los mejores lugares de la zona. Regentado por Adrián, aquí la cocina de mercado se eleva a otro nivel con una sofisticación genuina pero sin perder la esencia del producto. • La Experiencia Gastronómica: Los entrantes son únicos y creativos, perfectos para abrir el apetito. Las carnes son de diez, con una calidad y punto de cocción impecables. • El Broche de Oro: No puedes irte sin probar sus postres. La torrija es, sencillamente, brutal. Es el final perfecto para una comida de este calibre. • Bodega: Tienen una selección de vinos brutales que Adrián sabe recomendar a la perfección para que el maridaje sea total. • Ambiente y Trato: Es un lugar donde te sientes cuidado, con un servicio profesional y cercano. Como suelo decir: ¡un sitio para disfrutar como un capitán general! En resumen: Una parada obligatoria en Alcañiz para los que buscamos excelencia, buen producto y un trato impecable. ¿Qué más puedo pedir? ¡Solo volver!"

"Estaba toda la comida deliciosa. Para el solomillo no nos preguntaron el punto y lo sacaron perfecto para nuestro gusto sin necesidad de preguntar. Las croquetas buenísimas, nos dieron la opción de pedir un variado (las de jamón estaban fuera de carta). El ambiente del local es muy bueno, tranquilo y amplio, así como el trato de las camareras."
