Restaurant Port de Balansat — Restaurant in Sant Joan de Labritja

Indifferent welcome (walk in request at 13.30 on a Saturday), but a table was made available in spite of my unruly children. Also no children's menu offered although it later transpired they had one. That's the end of the negatives. By 14.30 the place was rammed. Many were eating what we had plumped for; the Bullit local fish speciality. Essentially this is a mixed grill of fish bits (including a head from which we plucked the cheeks) smothered in saffron cream sauce, served with saffron potatoes. Very good. But this was then followed by a paella style dish with octopus chunks which was a standout. Apparently it comes with the fish, but the menu isn't exactly clear on this. Wine was great, the hand carved Iberico jamon was another winner. Lamb chops were good too, if every so slightly overdone if being picky. Recommended, but book ahead for a...

The worst lunch for 57€ I’ve ever had.

Gambas that supposed to be grilled was completely raw. Then the waiter tried to prove me that they were grilled and touched them with his finger. How nice was that? Then he said they were warm, that means that they were grilled. After another request they grilled them. Thanks.

P.S. Nobody could...

Great view but horrible greasy food

The Restaurant is very well situated on the beach of San Miguel aka Hyatt bay beach

It is a huge restaurant that can serve more that an hundred people together

First, they gave us the worst small table next to the parking lot when we arrived early and no tables were taken : they say “they prefer to put people with dogs or with kids in the same place”

That wasn’t friendly from start

Food looked bad in other plates so we went to chiperones : very bad idea as we had a plate NON washed chiperones full of sand soaking in bad oil 🤮

The fish in salt was ok but full price

Veggies and patatas were hard to swallow with this horrible oil

The final bill was honest and corresponded to the low level of the food

It’s just an other bad restaurant at...
