Havana Ole — Restaurant in Catral

The only reason I have taken points off is because we would have preferred to eat outside but it was 30 degrees and there were no tables totally in shade. Even those under the overhang were only partly shaded and we would have burnt if we had sat right out the front as the shades were simply not big enough. Please consider awnings because as the weather is now hot, hot, hot, every seat needs to be shaded. Otherwise fantastic value for money on a daily changing menu del dia and service possibly too keen as I personally don't like empty plates being cleared whilst we are still eating from other plates and courses came too quickly with no time to take a breather inbetween but this is being picky. We had a bread basket, a salad to share, then we both had rusa salad which came in a huge pile with half a boiled egg and two croquettes each. I was now full with the main meal and sweet still to come. Also a lovely glass of house wine and a small beer, all for €13. We will certainly re-visit but unless there is more shade we won't be eating outside and this could possibly make the restaurant look unpopular. We drove past a couple of months back when it was cooler and it was packed but yesterday, 29th May, at 30 degrees, it was a lot quieter and we nearly...

We visited on a Saturday lunchtime we were the only ones there - we now know why - the food was bland - no seasoning no spice and super over priced for the region - our friends has calamari which were not fresh - frozen calamari - 4 of us all chose from the Cuban menu (no menu del dia) I had Cuban potatoes with meet / it was just pieces of mince not even broken up no flavour whatsoever - friendd had fish bland and tasteless and prawns - again no taste and other left a lot - I asked for some chilli - they had none in the whole Restuarant none on the kitchen and the owner went to the local dia to buy some tobasco - that’s why food so bland they didn’t even have chilli !!! However lovely lady who served us and nice of the owner to go get us some spice from the shop - such a disappointed meal and will...

First visit to this recently refurbished restaurant which is under new management. A warm welcome by Michael and the other staff members. The place is clean and well laid out with tables set appropriately. Michael explained the menu and drinks were served promptly. The various dishes came and the food was beautifully presented and was very tasty. One of our group asked for ice cream of which they had just served their last portion. They went to a local store and got more so he could have some. The staff are very attentive without being intrusive. The menu del dia is very good value for money. All of our group have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant. We will definitely be returning again. Thank you Michael, Sharon and the chefs and...
