La Cueva Del Peregrino — Restaurant in Abanilla

I will never return. We had been to this restaurant several times before the pandemic, and always thought the food lovely, pricing reasonable. HOWEVER, when we went today, we noticed that the set meal for one had gone up to nearly E22 from the previous E15. We were told this was due to overall price rises and accepted this. The waitress was friendly, coffee fairly good, starters nothing special but certainly acceptable and we quite enjoyed them. NOW: the main course arrived and was totally over-salted. Cooked in salt, covered in salt grains, half the vegetables under-cooked. We tried to brush the salt grains off as much as possible but it was impossible. When we mentioned this to the waitress, the owner/cook came over and just shrugged it off. Because we were unable to eat the main course, we requested a reduction in payment (E5 per person), but we were instead threatened with police, so we paid in full, two meals for nearly E50, and we were not given any dessert either (it was included in the price) but told to leave. The owner/cook followed us all the way out and watched us leave. Will not return and I can no longer recommend...

Fabulous Spanish restaurant. Fantastic staff. A special evening of dancing horses, flamenco dancing, local music and eating outside. Despite the little shower of rain the atmosphere was brilliant with a mix of Spanish and British people. I must add this was a pre booked evening and so doesn't happen regularly. The restaurant inside looks cosy and inviting, can't wait to visit this little restaurant again. Thank you for showing my son and I around the kitchen. So looking forward to visiting here again next summer. Definitely well worth the visit. The food was lovely...

Our first time here after hearing so much about it. We found it easily with the help of sat nav. Very friendly welcome. The Food was great with plenty of choice. 2 of us chose the €20 menu with entrecôte steak . The starters were amazing and so much which we all shared . Great choice of deserts as well. There wasn't a children's menu but they were happy to do chicken and chips for them. Will definitely add this restaurant on our 'go to' when friends...
