Amazing food served in an amazing location! Our group of 7 total dined here for an evening meal and everything was great.
Waiting staff were friendly and happy to help, the majority also knew English pretty well which is good for those who's Spanish is rather broken. All food and drinks (including cocktails) were 10/10 here, we did think the Thai green curry could have come with a bit more rice as our group member was left with a little more curry than rice, not a huge gripe though. With the restaurant being on the cliffside/beachfront, myself and partner vowed to come here the next day for breakfast/brunch as we thought it would be serene.
Unsurprisingly, it was. We were shown to a table with vast views of the sea. I ordered a smoked salmon with cream cheese toast. The Spanish certainly know how to do 'toast', this came to be a small/medium sized baguette type of bread, fully lathered with cream cheese and plenty of smoked salmon on top. My other half opted for a croissant with 'custard cream', this turned out to be just that. A really creamy, custard-y & smooth spread on a fresh croissant.
We came again for more of a breakfast than a brunch a couple days later, I got a fresh orange juice (VERY fresh, plenty of bits!) and my partner originally asked for an iced coffee however we were told they only have a frappe, which we went with. The frappe turned out to be a sort of mocha iced frappe, we both found it very nice and perfect for combatting the morning sun gaining it's strength for the day. As for food I had a mini scone with clotted cream and jam (I think it was strawberry). This was very nice although the mini scone certainly lived up to it's name. My partner had yoghurt with granola and fresh fruit. This was really nice, yoghurt was smooth and creamy, granola was tasty and crunchy, fruit was very fresh and ripe.
Dolce Vita really is a lovely establishment with beautiful views and a relaxed feel to it. Well worth every cent, nothing beats that view with a superb meal in...
Read moreThis place was recommended by a friend who suggested it was a good place for a snack.
The Terrace is right on the waters edge and the view of the sea is a selling point, you can actually smell the salty air. However, just as we sat down it came over cloudy and once the sun disappears this early in the season it can get cold. Several Diners got up and moved in doors.
We are made of hardier (or foolish) stuff and toughed it out.
As there are now 3 of us we ordered drinks. i had a very good Heineken alcohol free Beer.
My partner had a white wine and my mother in law went for a shandy but they brought it in a half litre mug which was way too big for her, she had trouble lifting it as she's 84 years old.
They had a quiche of the day (onion and Apple) on the menu which attracted the girls and they both said it was delicious. (€7.50) . I went for the club sandwich, toasted white sliced bread with Chicken and Bacon plus some other bits, Lettuce and tomato at €7.50. All the meals were served with a small salad which had already been dressed.
We also shared a bowl of chips at €2.50.
This was all well presented, nicely cooked and good size portions.
So the total bill was €33 which isn't the cheapest snack on the beach but you always pay a premium for beach front, sea view.
Our server was polite but not particular friendly and he tried to pick up the used serviette with a fork rather than touch it which suggested it was contaminated rather than used.
The venue is attractive and the seating comfortable though beware the terrace has a small step which could prove to be a hazard, particularly for the elderly.
They have Music all over the weekend with a Beatles tribute band and a couple of rockers.
This would be a good place to sit on a hot day but I think its still a bit too...
Read moreThis is a bar/restaurant set on the beach side in the centre of Mojacar. The views are nice, but just like every other beach side restaurant in Mojacar (not better or worse) and there are very many of them!
Staff speak either very little English or none and therefore seem to favour their Spanish guests, which is surprising as their guests include lots of other nationalities including large numbers from the UK. I speak limited Spanish so that's my fault!
The menu is small but adequate like the food, and service can be slow to the point of "hasta manana". It is pricey to the point of pretentious. You are paying for that view, like you do in other similarly positioned restaurants, which for me on occasion is fine.
Arrogant, ignorant, female manager with the "can't be bothered and don't want to help attitude" of a petulant child. She does speak English though which means she can show she's not bothered In several languages !
It is a nicely presented venue so some credit and it is often busy. It's advantage is it's central position opposite the shopping centre and suits those who live close to it. A lot of fish on the menu, but you must wait 40 minutes if you fancy paella .
For me this is simply just another beach bar/ restaurant not better not worse than any others just with the issues I've pointed out hence my score. They do a reasonable 2 or 3 course Sunday lunch option which is set at a very leisurely ( long winded)"crammed in tight" sort of pace. I'm trying somewhere more...
