Steakhouse La Macha - Gavle

Had only a good meal here, very friendly waiter, and the price was then more reasonable. I would certainly recommend .

THE FOOD The food at this restaurant surely tasted nice and I liked the variation in the menu, however no risks are taken at all either, leaving the experience slightly lack luster. I tasted my fiance's Fajita mix (Pork, beef and shrimp which tasted very nice 5/7. I ordered a ribeye steak, medium rare. When I finally got it after a fairly long (30-45min wait (was to be expected though since the restaurant was packed! The steak was far from the degree of doneness ordered. To me, a steak that is medium rare is mostly pink, with a warm red center (25-50% red . This steak however was barely touched at first it seems, it was rather blue to me. That however is not a big problem, I just asked the employees to fix it, and they helped me rather fast. When the meat was returned to me, it still had a roughly 70% red center. When I told this to the employee who came to check up on me, and this is where my gripe lies, she simply responded that that is the way their medium rare is. I dread to try their rare steak, thinking that it probably is completely raw. This brings the score down from 5 to 4. THE LOCALE Designwise it is dark and rather cosy, with a lot of windows. The decoration itself is not too risque or tacky, except for a rather offensively tacky native American head with feathers and all on one of the walls. The men's restroom unfortunately had a broken toilet lid, which is pretty unsanitary, especially for a restaurant. There were also a few other things that were lacking in the restroom, however these problems alone do not drag down the score. In the dining area on the other hand they had what I suspect was a ventilation fan motor which had rather poor bearings causing there to be a shrill whining noise in the background of our entire 2,5 hour stay. This, while also headache inducing, unfortunately brings the score down to a 3. I imagine that the problems I experienced with the locale are temporary, and will be fixed shortly. The steaks however, if they are going to keep insisting that what they served me was medium rare, I would advise you to go for the medium. I want to give this restaurant a better review, but simply can't unless these problems are fixed. I cannot recommend this place if you want a great steak. However the pricing was very reasonable, to end on a good note.

I tried the grill mix and it was pretty good. they are approx. 500g meat with tender, mature and chicken breast. the chicken and the zartoin were very tender, but nothing special. the ribs were very tasty with a very caramelized outside. the dish came with a red wine sauce that made the meat very complicated. all in a good meal, but I had better. they have accommodated us with a child car, but I have the impression that they are not used to it. We didn't offer a baby chair, but we didn't ask anyone.

Very nice restaurant with great steaks, good service and beautiful relaxing atmosphere. the red wine had a little too warm temperature, not bad, but something they should improve. if they want a good steak, then I can recommend the 300 g ribeye they do very well.

Good, but not standing. Eat is good and tasty, the staff is friendly and service thanks, place itself is clean, although a bit dark. but it doesn't really have me as something that I would come back, but if they are inspired in the mood for Texas/Mexikan, then it's the place to go.
