Restaurante Manuela — Restaurant in Orihuela

This was first time we dined at Manuela but we will certainly be back, the service was first class and the restaurant environment was excellent with seating on the kerbside, on a covered outdoor terrace and also indoor. A very comfortable environment throughout.

The menu offered a wide range of choices of Fish, Chicken and Beef along with Pizza and Pasta. We had the Garlic Prawns and BBQ platter for 2. The presentation impressed as did the portion size, however the taste and food quality was the best I have had in my time in Spain, definitely the best restaurant in the area. The other meals being served around us have encouraged us to return very soon.

We simply drank the house wine and this certainly did not disappoint, however, I noticed there is an extensive wine and drinks offer.

Best of all, when the bill came, we were we pleased with the great value for money this restaurant offers. Don't miss out this hidden gem but you will probably have to book as it was very busy and I...

We were on vacation in Campoamor and our family came to Manuela's for dinner. The wait was long and the food was mediocre. But first and foremost, I'd like to describe the situation we encountered and the complete lack of resolution from the staff. The waiter spilled hot tomato sauce into our stroller. Luckily, my 5-month-old son was on my lap at the time, otherwise it would have been a disaster. The stroller is completely ruined and, despite all our efforts, impossible to wash. The staff only told us that if I could find a place to wash it, I could bring the laundry bill. The problem is, I would have been stuck with my baby for the entire vacation without the stroller. A complete disregard for the situation. It could have been handled differently, but this left only a bad taste...

Busy place, but I can't understand why. First of all, the food is too salty. When I asked for some bread with the pasta - who server pasta without bread? - it never arrived.

However, when we complained about too much sinews in the meat, to the point it was not edible, we ended up with a discussion with the waiter of what the dish was composed and how much we had already eaten. It might have been a language barrier thing, but the experience was unpleasant. We got an apology in the end, but it should not be necessary to explain in detail about these matters: Take the food away and ask if and what the customer wants for replacement.
