Exceptional restaurant. We ate here three times throughout our holidays and this was by far the best restaurant we've been to in that area. The menu offers a good selection of fish, meat, rice dishes and some dishes to share. In addition there are changing dishes (sugerancias) and a 3 course menu. Everything we have tasted from salads over fish and meat to the dessert was very fresh, perfectly made and incredibly tasty. Some of our higlights were the grilled dorada, the boquerones, Iberico meat and the tiramisu and the pistaccio cake. Moreover, there is large selection of great (regional) wines. Just ask for recommendations matching your food - they all taste great. What really makes this place special is, besides the amazing food and wines and the beautiful location directly at the beach, is the exceptional staff. Paco's hospitality and service were top notch and are heart and soul of the restaurant. We highly recommend the Solymar and look forward to coming back someday soon. Thank you for...
