Restaurant La Barca — Restaurant in Santa Pola

The interior is nice, gives an impression of tasty and elegant food as well as attentive staff. However, the experience is rather disappointing and although the prices are not too bad, we left heartbroken. To start with, I ordered Crayfish (Sigala in Spanish), which cost 11 euros. I specifically asked the waiter how they are prepared and how many pieces are served. When the plate was brought to me there were 10 PRAWNS laying on an empty plate with a piece of lemon. Obviously, prawns are NOT crayfish or sigala. I asked the waiter on that matter and received an answer that they are out of crayfish (which he didn’t tell me before) and that prawns and crayfish are the same, so I’m served what I’m served. see attached picture of prawns and compare it to what it’s supposed to be P.s. Prawns did taste well and fresh

My partner ordered a burger with sausages and an egg. However he received a beef patty instead of a whole burger. If we wanted a burger cheaper and of better quality we could have gone to Burger King right next door.

Dear owner, do make sure the menu is changed, because clearly it doesn’t match the food that comes out of...

I visited the restaurant and was extremely disappointed. There were a few other tables besides mine, but the service was still slow and indifferent.

I ordered a salad, fish, and potatoes — the food was completely tasteless. The fish seemed to be just reheated, not freshly cooked. Worst of all, I found a hair in both the salad and the potatoes — absolutely disgusting. Probably fell from the chef’s beard.

The waiter barely approached me; I had to call him several times. Dirty dishes stayed on the table for almost an hour — no one bothered to clear them, even though the restaurant wasn’t busy. The staff looked like they were falling asleep on their feet — completely uninterested.

Very unpleasant experience. ❌ Tasteless food ❌ Hair in the dishes ❌ Poor service ❌ Zero attention to guests

I don’t recommend this place and won’t be...

Where to start…

We sat down, and for the first 15 minutes we were there the gardener was working with a chainsaw. So nobody on the terrace could understand each other.

Next, after we ordered the food it literally took more than 45 minutes before we received anything.

Once we finally got something, one of the dishes was still not ready so we could not “enjoy” our food at the same time.

The fries were clammy and not enough (not that we would want more), the pork tenderloin and the chicken filet were tasteless, the rice was way too salty.

(Other than the fact that it took way too long) the service was fine. I think the waiter realises that the place where he works is horrible, and he is trying to salvage what he can :/

In summary: Bad quality food, way too slow, and the...
