Excelente lugar para disfrutar en familia y una buena comida.
Excelente atencion, el paisaje perfecto, la comida deliciosa, super recomendado!!!
Es muy acogedor y muy buena la atención hi sus platos exquisitos hi todo a las orillas de el río Magdalena
Burger was very different from the normal USA burger but was very good. It actually had a slice of ham on it. :) Better ask for crispy fries everywhere if you don't want soggy fries like in France. The mustard in almost all restaurants are more like a liquid than the solid/firm based style in the US.
Lo mejor de la gastronomía local con una excelente vista del río Magdalena. Recomendadisimo. Esta ubicado en la parte de atrás de la plaza central de mercado de la Dorada, Caldas. Colombia. Se pueden ver Iguanas y aves hermosas del ecosistema regional.
Comida muy bien preparada...aunque un poco demorado
Un buen sitio, al lado de la central de abastecimiento de la Dorada. Amplio parqueadero, instalaciones amplias al aire libre, un mirador a la orilla del río magdalena y obviamente la especialidad el pescado de río. Buena sazón, buen sabor y buen precio. Punto en contra, es teniendo en cuenta la temperatura de la ciudad, hace falta ventiladores para hacer mas cómoda la estadía.
Con la vista del río Magdalena, el restaurante Doña Olga brinda platos típicos a muy buen precio. Buena atención :)
