Gastropub Viceversa — Restaurant in Estepona

The visit to Gastropub Viceversa was intended for a drink but was quite a sad experience to never be repeated again, the executive summary follows; We got to the pub at 23:05 and ordered 3 cocktails and one drink. The waitress started by rolling her eyes when asked for the cocktail list. Post order it took approximately 10 minutes to get half of the order and another 5 min until we all had been served. My drink was a classic piña colada... which funny enough - for being in the south of Spain had no trace of fresh fruit, not even a slice of pineapple as ornament. All bottled, not fresh and certainly quite expensive in comparison to the quality. The drink tasted watery and overly compensated by coconut liquor; very disappointing for a gastro-pub.

5 minutes into our served drinks the waitress came to advise they were shutting down in 10 min, a couple of minutes later she came by with the bill and rudely enough shut off the lights with various tables still finishing their drinks. This resulted in one of the elderly clients tripping on his nose in the darkness...

If you are calling yourself a gastro pub- have quality- deserve the name. If you close within 30 min and know upfront that drinks take 15 min to prepare- advise the client of this beforehand rather then after the fact Do NOT shut off the lights whilst you still have clients in the restaurant, it’s extremely rude

For any reviewers having said that this is the best place for food or drinks in Estepona... sorry to say but our experience is long from anything like it. There are many better places, with respectful treatment...

Confusing experience at Viceversa. We arrived at about 13.15 and looked at the menu on the wall where it stated that the breakfast menu was available until 14.00. Upon ordering we were told that they had been very quiet and that they had moved over to the lunch menu. The waitress went to the kitchen to check and came back, saying that yes I could still order off the breakfast menu. When I ordered a breakfast for me and some fish goujons (NOT fish & chips) for my partner the waitress got shirty and said both meals had to either be from the breakfast menu or the lunch menu. Feeling sufficiently reprimanded, and unwilling to just move on to another restaurant as we already had drinks, I ordered a burger for me and the fish goujons. In hindsight I should have just moved to a different table to the Mrs for placing the order. The food arrived and was totally disappointing as with the experience. We paid and left, next time we will go next door...

There is nowhere, and I mean nowhere, that does a full English or Irish breakfast like vice versa. Every component is cooked to perfection and the value for money is incredible! I've been to various places recently to have a full English and there's always something wrong....mushrooms soggy, bacon too salty and, again, soggy, eggs over or undercooked I even had a hash brown come out completely dark somewhere else the other day meaning the oil was filthy because it wasn't burnt...or they claim full English but there's no hash brown or no mushrooms or no something.....vice versa give the full Monty and never ever disappoints. Full disclosure, I used to work there, so some may call me bias, but I went back today, after not having been in a while, and honestly you just can't beat it. Val is so passionate about what he sends out of his kitchen and it shows...
