Restaurante en Torre Del Mar - Taberna Padre Pío — Restaurant in Vélez-Málaga

We’ve eaten paella at various places around Spain and this is by far the best one.

Yes we’ve eaten homemade, from Spanish friends, on the countryside, tourist places, from Valencia to Mallorca.

This is by far the best one we’ve had.

The paella de marisco at 28 eur for two persons is a no brainer. To get that quality of paella for that price is nothing short of impressive.

The chef lady really has golden hands. Every clam came packed with rice and vegetables inside, indicating that they weren’t just thrown on top as decorations, as is common with other places that serve paellas. For me, the best one I’ve had, ever.

Yes the service wasn’t great, they forgot to give us cutlery and it took a little while before the food arrived. But at the end of the day, after that meal. All that is forgotten. The chef / owner came out afterwards and apologised for the delay and had a small chat with us. You could tell she was passionate about food and her business.

What I’m trying to say is… take your behind to this place and eat their paella, it was amazing!

A wonderful family run restaurant right next to the beach. This evening with the crescent moon rising as the sun set it became the most perfect spot on earth for a delicious meal with a beautiful companion. The welcome is warm and the decor is impressive and comfortable. The food was divine, pun intended! We shared a mixed salad which was full of an array of fruits and vegetables and a mixed starter plate which had a very tasty mix of fish, meat & veg rolls with a lovely sweet and sour sauce. The main course was white fish, Rosata I think it's called, beautifully presented with vegetables and a seafood tagliatelle which was simply incredible! For dessert we had home made chocolate cake and coffee and the bill was far less than I would have expected to pay for such quantity and quality! The perfect evening! Thank you! I...

We have just had dinner here and it was great. For starters we had shrimp pil pil. It was juicy, big shrimps. I recommend, if you like spicy. For main, we had pork tenderloin and seafood tagliatelle. Pork was juicy, with potatoes and vegetables, perfect portion. I had seafood tagliatelle and it was amazing - so much seafood in it, I was surprised. And it was really well cooked, big portion - even packed home. Both mains were not spicy. Also, we really liked the service, the waiter was attentive and considerate. I think this place should have a...
