Restaurante El Quinteto de Nizar y Ana — Restaurant in Motril

We came here for dinner last night because of the excellent reviews and were not disappointed. Our family of 4 was the 2nd table to be seated but the restaurant filled up quickly after us. We started with a complimentary croquette each, then shared 2 starters: tuna carpaccio & moorish pastella and a main of sliced beef steak. The tuna carpaccio, served with toast & salsa, was fantastic! It was our first time trying a moorish pastella so we can’t say how it compares to another but we enjoyed the interesting sweet and savory flavor. The sliced beef steak was very tasty but some parts of the cut were a little chewy. The grilled vegetables served together were really fresh and yummy. We ended the dinner with 3 desserts - apple tiramisu (sounds strange but works so well!), “summer all year” (may be the strangest dessert we ever had, for it had sliced carrots but a very interesting mix of flavors and sensations because of the popping candy) and the house favorite - Anissa tartin (again, another interesting mix of sweet & salty, hot & cold). All were instagram worthy and, more importantly, tasted very good. Would love to return if we visit...

We used to love it here but it went kinda downhill the past two years concerning the things that mattered to us. Their waiter is, as always, really nice and helpful and loves helping and giving recommendations but I think the business has lost all of its charms due to the changes they made. They obviously try to take their 'upscale, expensive and small bites' motto to a whole new level. Those dishes we longed to come back for are long gone from the menu and the remaining rest is basically just the same you can find around anywhere but on a much higher price level. For that, you only get really small 1-bite-complementary tapas and feel really uncomfortable if you are not ordering plates of food, you feel kinda pushed to order. Again, service is impeccible and the reason we came back that one last time but that doesn't change the facts that you as a customer feel misplaced. I am not sure, as much as I used to love this place, that Granada actually needs the new concept of...

La ciudad de Granada cuenta con muchos encantos y este "RESTAURANTE", es un de ellos. En la ciudad son típicos los bares para tapear, y sin duda que hay muchos con tapas buenísimas y variada, pero este lugar no es uno de ellos, y sus propietarios no pretenden serlo. Apuestan por otro tipo de platos, también de calidad por supuesto, alejados de los circuitos de las tapas. Antes de nuestro viaje por vacaciones a la ciudad, nos recomendaron este lugar y decidimos visitarlo. El local nos pareció acogedor y bien decorado. El lugar donde se encuentra es idóneo para no alejarte del centro. Una vez leída la carta, que nos pareció original y bastante completa, nos decidimos por degustar diferentes platos de ella. Entre otros degustamos una tabla de quesos muy bien presentada, un taco de risotto con guacamole, hamburguesa de 200 gramos, corvina con quinoa y gulas, magret de pato con reducción de Pedro Ximénez; de postre optamos por un diferente tiramisú de manzana y un helado de turrón que todo y no estar en la carta de postres, no dudaron en servirlo para mi hijo ya que su carta, no cuenta con helados. El menú elegido resultó perfecto, los platos bien presentados, sus productos de calidad y la cantidad servida idónea para no quedar saturados. En cuanto a la atención del personal del restaurante, el trato recibido fue exquisito. Muy amables y atentos durante toda la cena, realmente saben llevar el negocio. Sin duda, si algún día regreso a Granada, no dudaré en volver a visitarlos. Mucha suerte con vuestro proyecto y a seguir llevándolo...
