Bar Restaurante Manolo — Restaurant in Orihuela

We loved it here. Upon arrival, it doesn’t look 4/5 star so this could be improved. It does look quite dodgy, but this shouldn’t be off putting because the food and staff are great.

They have a set menu which you can choose from or a tapas menu and there is a lot of choose from.

I am gluten free but not celiac and I didn’t feel very confident so just got a salad, so most likely not for anyone with allergies but feel free to ask!

However the food itself was lovely. The salads were fresh, the service was quick and it is right on the river. The inside looked lovely too but tables were reserved… the tapas was gorgeous, even squid and chicken etc… was cooked perfectly and was only €3-4 each. So you could order quite a mixture between a few. We ordered like 9 dishes between 3 (including 2 bigger salads) and another ordered burger and chips which was perfect. The dishes are fairly priced and quite cheap...

Delicious food and great atmosphere! Authentic Spanish home-style cooking, made with heart. The portions are huge — the chicken Caesar salad can easily feed two, and the grilled squid was fresh and perfectly cooked. The Verdejo wine by the glass was excellent. The place has a cozy, traditional interior — quiet and welcoming, you feel like you’re visiting old friends. Fair prices, fast service, and a warm, friendly vibe. Highly recommended if you want to enjoy genuine,...

We discovered this place 2 years ago. Every time has been a pleasure, we take friends from the UK and they all agree with us. We normally share a number of delicious Tapas dishes. Great food, service is really good, great choice of wines, staff always willing to help with the wine list. Not managed to go back over the the last few months, but hopefully back in September, our first to go to. Interesting how it will be with what is going...
