A’Roma is just across the beach. I love the friendly environment, a mix of locals, long term residents from other regions of Spain and Europe as well as dogs of all kinds who greet each other. At A’Roma, there is a constant flux of people coming and going, saying hello to everyone, who sat and have some coffee or a full breakfast, or is waiting for the order to arrive with no rush and no worries. Some are waiting for a friend, for a business partner, others come in a group to chat and have some coffee or a full breakfast or meal. In occasions, some of the regulars play chess or cards and some come by themselves to enjoy the coffee, the pleasant vibe, and the feeling that you are at home. The music in the background is soothing. The responsible of all that is Kamal who is the owner. He always greets you with a smile or waves at you from the coffee station or from wherever he is standing. I appreciate the staff so much that I call them by their names. There is usually Kamal and one other staff on the floor and one in the kitchen. They take care of the whole twenty-something table café. The flowing of energy, efficiency and happiness is evident. Kamal, Matias, Tomas, Regina, and Uda know how to work the café and for that, kudos! I always come to the café with a book and reads for a while. Sometimes, I concentrate on the book and some other times my mind and eyes vague around the café wondering what people is doing or thinking about or what they do for living. Since I left New York eighteen months ago, I have been coming to A’Roma and I am glad that I discovered it. It...
Read moreA true gem on the Paseo Marítimo! It's easy to be wary of restaurants along the main strip, where high prices often don't match the quality of the food or service. ARoma is the wonderful exception to that rule and stands head and shoulders above many others in the area.
We were so impressed after our first meal here that we made sure to come back for a second visit during our holiday, and it was just as fantastic. On both occasions, I had the steak with peppercorn sauce. I asked for it rare, and it was cooked to absolute perfection, beautifully tender, full of flavour, and a clear sign that the kitchen takes real pride in its ingredients and cooking.
The service was equally top-quality; the staff were attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. For a prime beachfront location, the prices are incredibly reasonable.
This is not a tourist trap; this is a high-quality restaurant offering excellent food and service at a fair price. I cannot recommend it highly enough and will definitely be returning on our next trip...
Read moreDecided to try here for breakfast as the restaurant has a lovely clean look and large decking area that is superb for watching the world go by as you witness the resort and beach come to life. I had the king size breakfast and my partner had the queen size. It was fairly busy on the morning we called and it took a little while to be served but there was only a single and very pleasant young lady providing service. They served by far the best breakfast we have had so far at the resort. Being both substantial and also perfectly cooked. Breakfast doesn't include drinks and we accompanied ours with a coffee con leche (milky coffee) and orange juice that tasted wonderful in the way that only freshly squeezed juices can, like sunshine in a glass! Price was on par with most competing establishments on the seafront but the quality was far...
