El Duende

The atmosphere was great, the service was also good. We order a steak and a lamb ribs, both are delicious. The price were ~50 euros which was still acceptable in torla ordesa

We did the beef steak for two option. 90 euro you got a steak 900 gram steak that we could not finish because there was so much. A starter, a bottle of wine (which we did finish) and two desserts. More expensive, yes. But worth the money, yes. The portions alone are worth the extra cost for dinner and then on top of that everything was DELICIOUS. Now add on the fact that you feel like you’re in someone’s home and they are cooking you a special meal - this place was an A+ selection for dinner.

We stayed in town for two days and found this restaurant based on google ratings and Michelin guide. And it didn't let us down. The food and wine were delightful. The service and atmosphere were excellent! Book a table in advance since the restaurant gets quite busy especially in the summer. The foie gras duck breast salad was soooooooo delicious and it was on every table, which made it a must order. We also got foie gras with toast, and those 3 pieces of foie gras were out of this world. Super yummy and they just melt in your mouth. I would recommend this dish too. Deer leg was brilliant and it made my husband super happy about the meal! If you happened to be in town for the hikes, try this Michelin guide restaurant or your will regret. :P

I spent three wonderful days last summer exploring the Pyrenees above Torla-Ordesa during my monthlong bicycle tour across Spain. I chose El Duende for one of my dinners, and it was an excellent choice. I tried the cordero several times on my trip, and this was the best! Wonderful, perfectly cooked. A beautiful restaurant in which to enjoy a lovely meal.

Beautiful location, tucked in a corner on the hill. Excellent service and delicious food. The portions are huge, so order wisely. The ambience is great, a real gem of a place.

Delicious! Many options with no gluten and Gluten free bread available!

We had the menu at 37.50€ but worth it. Being English I know what some of the best lamb in the world tastes like. So I took a chance and ordered the half shoulder of lamb. It was delicious, one of the best tasting lamb dishes I have had in Spain. It was a large cut and a struggle to eat it all but I succeeded, and worth the effort. The bottle of red wine included in the price was a delicious grenache with flavours of a good Beaujolais. The service was attentive and they provided a doggy bag for my partner who was unable to eat all her lamb.

Asparagus appetizer was excellent. Meat dishes very good.

Visited the Ordesa national park in mid June, which is not a busy time. The town was pretty quiet and a lot of the stores and restaurants were closed. El Duende was pretty busy when we arrived the only table available was all the way in the back next to the bathrooms, we just took it since we were really hungry and tired after hiking all day and trying to find a place to eat in the thunderstorm. Service was kind of slow because we were seated in such an inauspicious location. Both ordered the 3 entree daily special where you can pick each course out of 5 choices. I think that I was successful in all of the items I picked and my SO was unsuccessful. My dishes: salad with avocado and anchovies, grilled lamb and vegetables, and fruit salad SO's dishes: something like a chicken enchilada for appetizer, grilled pork (it was tough), and a flan for dessert

We had an amazing 3 course dinner in this beautiful restaurant. The entrance is decorated with heaps of gnomes but don't let that put you of. Once inside this tiny brick house you will be seated by a table with table linen and lit candles. After hiking around 20 km in the beautiful Ordesa valley i could have eaten about anything however I paced myself and set of on a culinary journey consisting of a risotto with langoustine, halibut with vegetables and a cheese platter. Oh, please do not miss out on the warm chocolate creation with ice cream for dessert, splendid! I could hardy believe that the set price of this feast was just above 20 euros including bread, water and wine. We opted for another wine than the one included in the set menu and we were so delighted with the food, drinks and service after our dinner. Reservations are recommended since it´s a small and popular restaurant.

Recommended by our hotel this restaurant did not disappoint. The food was delicious and the service attentive. A very good big city restaurant in a small resort town. I had venison and my wife steak. Both were perfectly cooked and delicious.
