Restaurante Cándida — Restaurant in Mollina

I enjoyed a superb meal here with my family. The place was an instant hit with the kids, thanks to its playground, and we had a fantastic table under an ornamental olive tree on the terrace. It’s a spacious restaurant with plenty of room inside for those who prefer to dine indoors.

I was impressed by the extensive menu, which offered an excellent selection of fresh dishes.

To start, we shared a wonderful Raff tomato salad with local avocado, topped with a piece of Melva from Tarifa, perfectly dressed with oil and vinegar. We also ordered some grilled white prawns and a tuna tartar to complete our starters. It's worth noting that we opted for half portions of some dishes so we could try more.

For the main course, we shared an oven-cooked monk fish. The fish was beautifully presented, and the flesh was incredibly succulent. The great selection of meat dishes on the menu nearly tempted us to overindulge, but instead, we decided to share some homemade desserts. We chose the Torrijas (think of an upscale bread and butter pudding), pistachio cheesecake, and Kinder cake. While all were delicious, the Torrijas was the standout for me.

The restaurant has a fantastic atmosphere, and the staff were attentive, helpful, and friendly, making this one of the most memorable dining experiences I’ve had in...

A very modern but tastefully decorated restaurant set on the edge of town. It has excellent parking through it's gates as well as a children's play area and sitting outside and inside. We had booked in advance but when we arrived we struggled to find the correct entrance and then the waitress, although very helpful , seemed to be a bit rushed. We probably came in through the wrong door.

The menu of the day had a great choice of dishes and was priced very well at 15 euro. This included bread and first drinks. The dishes we had were very tasty and well presented. My wife was very pleased that she got proper fried potatoes instead of the normal frozen chips. The service was very quick and staff were very efficient and friendly. The atmosphere at lunchtime was very professional with many clients seeming to have business lunches.

Would recommend everyone trying this place out.

A Modern setting with good quality...

Hola buenas voy a compartir mi experiencia gastronómica. La verdad que hoy fuimos de ruta en moto por esa zona y en una de las paradas decidimos ver donde comemos, por referencias de Google y TripAdvisor nos ponia que excelente y decidimos ir. Bueno solo decir que fue llegar y el restaurante, carpa y cesped estaba lleno de gente pero decidimo preguntar a ver si seria posible comer y un muchachino de traje nos dijo que si. Decidimos esperar en la barra tomando algo y vi muchas cosas que me gustarony otras que no. Las que si, la mujer de la barra (supongo que sera la dueña) estaba a pie del cañon sin parar, preguntando, muy amable y atenta (soy de los que piensa que el negocio se tiene que cuidar), la comida excelente comimos un tartar, concha finas y un chuleton que hacia muchísimo que no comia, se note que la calidad es excelente y por eso es uno de los motivos que sea un filon. El Trato de nuestro camarero DIEGO es de 10 super atento, servicial.

Ahora las cosas que no me guataron tanto. Solo fueron 3. Ojo que lo digo con todo el cariño del mundo ya que me dedico a la hostelería. La 1 es que mientras tomábamos algo en la barra esperando la muchachina de gafas dio un par de contestaciones no muy adecuadas a la mujer y a su compañero, entiendo que estes agobiada pero en la hostelería se tiene que mantener una buena imagen delante del cliente. (consejito, si a los vasos le das golpes los rallas y se quedan feos rápido eso es = perdida de dinero) La 2 es que un hombre con barba que tendria que ser también jefe se le antojo que toda la bebida los camareros la pusieran en al bandeja para que los runners la llevaran lo dijo de malos modos (consejito cada camarero lleva su bamdeja y posiciona cada cosa en un punto para llevarla mejor, se tarda mas en que te la ponga y el runner se la coloque a que el runner se la ponga el en la bandeja) La 3 es que la misma persona que la anterior el Jefe. Le dijo varias cosas en muy mal tono, voz y formas ordenes a nuestro camarero Diego ( ultimo consejo todo lo que tengas que decir tanto sea bueno o malo que no te escuche el cliente y menos si lo haces en la misma mesa)

Por lo demas lo recomiendo al 100% y...
