Meollo Restaurante — Restaurant in El Puerto de Santa María

Just fabulous, every single plate was perfect. But also, this restaurant stands out from a lot of others because of the servers who were both extremely wonderful today! We are learning to speak Spanish right now so it is not the greatest, and I sometimes feel really embarrassed - but they made us feel so comfortable, we will definitely eat here often. Every dish we ordered was amazing, we had salmorejo con aguacate, ceviche de pescado de lonja, chicharrones, tomate y burrata ahumada, queso y higos, gambas a la plancha, and for dessert tried the torrija and coulant. My favorites were the burrata (FANTASTIC flavor, and the tomatoes were so incredibly fresh) and ceviche, but everything was so perfectly made. Worth noting: I noticed on their sign that they also accommodate special diets like vegetarian, gluten free, and even "para los peques" (for the little ones!) We are so lucky to live near such a fantastic restaurant, I can't wait to try the rest...

This restaurant was truly exceptional. The service was outstanding—friendly, warm, and genuine. The food was fantastic, with everything tasting so fresh and high-quality. The burrata, which you see on so many menus, was easily the best I’ve ever had—so delicious and with a unique twist. Absolutely worth it. And the wine list! I got so excited just browsing it. Stopping by here for a great glass of wine and a small bite with friends is the perfect plan. I can’t wait to return next time I’m in El Puerto....

With restaurants in a European medieval town center, the first thing is the approach: Is it inviting?

Then, do staff professionally and respectfully seat the patrons?

Thereafter, does a server attend in a timely fashion, and provide refreshments?

Finally, quality of food and price?

This establishment meets all of these and more.

Service was cheerful, accommodating, and energetic. The food was excellent as were the prices.

This establishment was a welcome oasis during a hot and crowded Semana Santa...
