"The food and presentation of the food is incredible. I had the goats cheese and salmon salad one day and then the sword fish the next. Service is friendly and relaxed. Loved this place. Highly recommend"

"Good place, price and food, and lots to choose from. Service was good and friendly but slow. We had to wait 30+ mins since we made the order. I ordered eggs, bacon and chips and it was yummy but bacon and chips were a bit overcooked, however it wasn’t bad, maybe not everyone’s cup of tea. We came here last year and service was faster, maybe some changes were made, still, a good place for some drinks and food."

"Cafeteria - restaurant Joanna, is a unique place with a wonderful family atmosphere. It offers delicious food and drinks, and friendly service. Immediately after ordering, we received a complimentary refreshment: delicious yellow Manchego cheese with crisp bread. When I informed the bar lady, Laura, that we really enjoyed the cheese, another portion was immediately brought to us. We ordered our favorite drinks: Tinto de Verano, Prawn Pil-Pil, and Prawn Cocktail. The dishes arrived quickly and tasted delicious. I'm glad we found this wonderful restaurant, where we felt so welcome. We'll gladly return. I recommend Cafeteria Joanna and Restaurant to everyone. At the end of our meal, we were treated to a wonderful limoncello...delicious. It's a wonderful place for singles, couples, and families."

"A surprising little place with great food and drink and nice staff. I enjoyed the omelette with a lovely cava sangria. I kind of wished I’d got the tropical sandwich after seeing how good it looked…or the lasagna We were all really happy with the food"

"It's very rare to find a good restaurant with a decent food when you are in a town for the first time. This time we successfully have found Joanny. Great calamares fritos and grilled swordfish."
