Hello Guys, i dont know much about steaks, but we had a weird incident at a restaurant in Mallorca. I ordered a medium stake, the first picture which i cutted in half. I asked the owner if the steak is medium and she told me "no", then they cooked the same steak again (other picture) which was better but it was burned too much in the picture which you cannot see. They gave me a totally new steak, i didnt want to start a new discussion and ate it to 90%, it's the picture where i left a little piece because i couldnt eat more of it. The waiter confirmed as well, that the new stake wasnt Medium. I paid 32€ for the filet. What do you think? What would you have done? Other persons recommended to not pay, is that common Spain to not pay when the food didnt arrive as ordered?

  1. A lot of people like it that raw for some reason – not me

  2. That’s literally raw, not as in the way americans cook it, thats not cooked, at all.

  3. You should not be able to “not pay” after eating 90% of something. If a dish isn’t what you expected and you don’t intend to pay for it, just don’t eat it. Isn’t that common sense?

  4. When it’s so dry on the outside and raw in the middle it makes me think it was defrosted.

    It looks like it’s “Al punto” medium rare, When you ask for medium ask for it without blood. “Sin sangre”

  5. I don’t want to me mean but if look up the place on Google Maps it screams tourist trap and trashy.

    Why did you go there?

  6. I like my steaks rare or medium rare. Your steaks look a bit strange. The outsides look medium, but the insides are rare. Now, regarding what you do when you get what you didn’t order, you let them know immediately, as you did the first time. On your second steak, you ate almost all of it, so you have to pay for it. You should have told them immediately that steak isn’t done as you like it. This is valid in any country worldwide, not just here.

  8. This is probably going to get me downvotes but in most Spanish restaurants, that’s medium.

    It’s ts not not the USA or many other countries medium but a Spanish medium.

    A Spanish red or raw will still moo…

    In my experience, unless you are in a place that generally serves more tourists than locals, all non Spanish dinners should always ask for their meet one level of cooking above what they are used to.

  9. A fin de cuentas…I hope you sought out some meals during your visit that you couldn’t get at home.

  10. Go to “Sa Llenya” Its nearby, in the port. It’s the best steak restaurant in the North, by far.
    Carabela steak house is a tourist trap in my opinion.
