So I have now had Sunday lunch here and also the small plates menu. The Sunday lunch with the pork was just fantastic, it was amazing! The vegetables were cooked to perfection, it all came in a bowl between 2 people, so half the bowl each, which was nice as not everyone loves all veg unless you’re like me, so it was a winner in my case. The pork, what can you say except exceptional! How it was cooked, how it tasted, the size of the portion and the love that must have gone into it. Normally this time of year I don’t eat Sunday lunch as it’s all too hot to be bothered, but with how well this restaurant brings the outside in and how fresh the whole experience is, I’m probably going to have it in August in the height of summer. All four of us had dessert and coffee and the apple pie was just perfect, i sued for more hot water for my Americano and it arrived in seconds. A big thanks to all who work here for looking after us, especially the owner who gives the rest of his kitchen staff the day off and he cooks the Sunday lunches Bravo!! Any chance you could do the same concept in Vera so I can just cycle there 😊 Sorry forgot to take pics of the Sunday lunch, but it’s definitely worth a try! I ate here on a Saturday. It was amazing! The owner, is a very attentive and down to earth guy with an amazing concept of a place. The decor, the space and furnishings and food to die for. A group of 4 us ate our way through the small plates menu, plus gins, beers and wines all round and it came to 25€ a head. The Gastro fish cake was magnificent, no other way to describe it. Can’t wait to go back and will be in and out of the place most of the summer even with the Mojacar traffic. Thanks for bringing another great eatery...

Beautiful restaurant just off the main strip in Mojacar which was highly recommended by several people we met on holiday and being introduced to the owner/head chef.
I had the prawns to start followed by the pork belly.
The prawns arrived looking and smelling fantastic a giant portion of juicy, succulent prawns that retained their taste yet complemented by the garlic and parsley butter, each tasted amazing and I was slightly upset when I finished the dish.
Until the pork came, WOW... A GREAT amount of meat, crispy crackling, black pudding, potatoes and a delicious apple salad.
And fresh veg on the side.
The flavour combinations are very clever indeed, English with an Asian twist the flavours of Chinese 5 spice and soy/rice wine sauce complimenting everything on the plate perfectly.
An absolute delight to eat, and whilst absolutely stuffed I had to order dessert as everything else had been incredible.
Very tough decision between the berry cheesecake and lemon tart, however I went for the lemon as it just felt like the right choice to end a magnificent meal.
Absolutely incredible, perfect portion size and incredibly balanced between sweet and sour, with the difference in textures between the pastry, filing and meringue working excellently together, delicious.
Overall 10/10, ZERO faults.
100% will be back.
Perfect food, services, atmosphere and location.
Tremayne and his team have got things right and will certainly deliver excellence should you visit.

Read moreWe read from a Trip Advisor list that this place was good for brunch so we gave it a go at around 1pm. It's lunch though, not brunch. We weren't complaining - just don't be expecting avocado toast!
The Autumn Lunch menu offers a choice of two courses for €22.95; this includes a glass of cava or a soft-drink. I chose the soup of the day, which was a delicious carrot & coriander, served with lovely soft white bread. My main dish of cod was superbly cooked and extremely tasty. My mum had the chicken liver pâté to start, which was rich and tasty, if a bit filling for her. Her chicken Caesar salad was the biggest portion we've ever seen! But excellently prepared and very tasty.
The location here is great. Very calm and so tastefully decorated - no detail has been missed. The service is more than friendly and perfectly efficient. We couldn't fault it. It's very classic food, cooked and presented beautifully. For us, it was perhaps lacking in excitement - for such a fabulous location, something more dynamic and interesting would have been nice - maybe a little more contemporary or edgy. But that's just nitpicking and our personal tastes. What they do, they do...
