Bar Restaurante La Ermita — Restaurant in Ardales

We had the most wonderful meal here at this small and pleasant restaurant. They are nestled in the hills with wonderful views from the patio which offered both shaded and sunny tables. Our server was so pleasant and friendly. The food was delicious! Simple ingredients prepared wonderfully. We ate so quickly that we forgot to take pictures!

We also had the generous cheese plate with 5 types of cheese and a small loaf of still-warm baked bread. We then shared the very large portion of chicken schnitzel which we both agreed was the best we'd ever had. (And I grew up in an area with a strong German heritage!) Everything about this place...

Highly recommend. Then the icing on the cake is the friendly owner/waitress let me see...
