(Español después) It seems to be this kind of place that takes advantage of the tourist, and what a disservice it does to the "Spain brand". We ate at this restaurant because it was the only one that didn't try to convince us to get into as we strolled past the door, and we left it feeling that we had been cheated. We didn't touch the bread and the ali oli, and the truth is that the fish was good, but they sold us much more that two people could possibly eat, with the portion of moray eel and anchovies (it appears as sardines on the bill) it would have been enough, because they were generous portions ... but they told us if we wanted a "varied fish fried" and so they would give us half portions of moray eel and anchovies. At the end they endorsed us with a huge tray of fish that we asked for a lunch box to take with us and we ate reheated fish for two days. Va a ser este tipo de locales que se aprovecha del turista, y que tan flaco favor hace a la marca España que tanto se pregona. Comimos en este restaurante porque fue el único que no nos intentó captar mientras paseabamos por delante de la puerta, y salimos con la sensación de que nos habían engañado. El pan y el ali oli no lo tocamos, y la verdad es que el pescado estaba bueno, pero nos vendieron mucho más de lo que necesitamos, con la ración de morena y boquerones (aparece como sardina en la factura, cuya foto adjunto) habría sido suficiente, porque son generosas... pero nos dijeron que si queriamos una "friturita variada" y así nos ponían medias raciones de morena y de boquerones. Al final nos endosaron una enorme bandeja de pescado que tuvimos que pedir una fiambrera para poder llevarnosla y comimos pescado recalentado por dos días. Si esto me lo hacen a mi, qué le harán al que...
Read moreThere honestly should be a zero stars option. The bread was served in packets and was completely smashed and stale. The replacements were at least fresher but having a sack dragged to the table and served from there did not inspire confidence. The Ali oli was served in takeaway tubs and I'm guessing we're actually from a very cheap takeaway. Onto the fish platter and we should have known better. 4 of us shared two platters and if those fish have been swimming in the last week I'll stand the drop of York! I have never felt sorry for a fish I'm eating before and I suspect I will be feeling sorry for myself in approx 4 hours time, when it reappears. Upon questioning the waiter "bob" swore they were this mornings catch and we didn't understand as tourists. After pointing out two of our party were residents and spoke fluent Spanish he finally admitted they were possibly 2 maybe 3 days old. I stand by my comment they haven't seen the sea in a week. The 5th member in a moment of clarity had ordered prawns...he was beyond disappointed to have 6 luke warm ones served. They he saw our platter and counted himself lucky. If I haven't eaten for a week and they offered me anything free from there I'd honestly rather die of starvation. The most overpriced and underwhelming food I have eaten in 50 years on 3 continents. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!! UPDATE The fish did reappear approx 5 hours later...avoid unless you want to be ill...
Read moreA mainly seafood restaurant nr the promenade. Great food, especially the grilled fish fillet that I had, very tasty and plenty of it. It came with canarian potatoes but I'm not sure what the difference with new potatoes was, apart from alittle salt on the outside. I've had thd before and they've been wrinkly, there's weren't and there was no pink sauce, which I thought was automatically served with them. They gave you a bread roll and a garlic dip, which I used on the potatoes. I also ordered a glass of sangria with was lovely, especially with the pear and peaches instead of the usual oranges and lemons. You can sit inside or outside as they own the restaurant opposite, where the toilet...
