La comida buena, el trato amable , tanto como para tapear como para el menú que es muy bueno y los precios para lo caro que está todo no esta mal.Me gusta mucho ir de raciones en verano y estar en la plaza ya que los niños pueden jugar.

Buen lugar para comer en Escalona. Excelente relación calidad-precio.

Céntrico, muy bien situado en la misma plaza del pueblo, la cual ya de por sí tiene encanto. Se puede tomar algo o comer tanto en interior como en exrerior, pues dispone de terraza. Aunque es el hogar del pensionista en la fachada en el rótulo pone bar "el infante". La atención muy agradable y atenta, te sientes acogido. Tienen una carta compuesta por raciones, ensaladas, tostas, sándwiches y hamburguesas, ponen buena cantidad a buen precio. Las tostas suelen ir acompañadas por patatas. He ido a cenar un par de veces, pero he ido más veces a medio día de cañas ya que ponen tapas gratis con cada consumición diferentes y variadas con las cuales ya comes. La última vez en 4 rondas nos pusieron tapa de tortilla, tapa de jamón con tomate, otra de langostinos y otra de mejillones. Les doy 4 estrellas porque tienen que mejorar los tiempos, aunque suelen ser rápidos, cuando está lleno tardan mucho en servir comidas.

es acogedor tranquilo y se come bien y a buen precio
