RESTAURANTE LA LONJA. — Restaurant in Calp

We looked at the superb seafood in the glass fridge and we were encouraged to dine there with the promise of a starter each and a whole lobster each plus a bottle of wine, all for €20 per person. Sadly the meal was awful and have felt sick since. To start we ordered steamed mussels and got vinagerette mussels covered in raw onions and peppers. The other starter was squid which was chewy, over cooked and tasteless. The lobster was an even bigger disappointment - so badly overcooked that you had to scrape what little dried out meat there was out of the tail and claws - it amounted to the equivalent of a shrimp in a prawn cocktail.

The worst part is that the fish was very hard to chew. There might be translation issues with the menu. We ordered grilled octopus and got grilled butterfish. The mussles are below average, with grass and other stuff from the sea, making it not a great choice. Comparing this place with other restaurants in the port, I felt that it was below average. On the good side, the service is good. They changed the Sepia. The house wine is very good and at...
