Restaurante Mesón la Vendimia — Restaurant in Vélez-Málaga

We should have left when we were shown our seat by an unfriendly waiter (older guy) we smiled and said thank you he didn't acknowledge this, it was as if he was reluctant to seat us. He arrived with our drinks, I asked politely if they had an English menu, he replied quite rudely No, and walked away, no offer to help. We have absolutely no problem with restaurants not having English menus, we are after all in their country, it was just the rudeness which was unnecessary. We should have paid for our drinks and left then, unfortunately we chose to stay. We ordered 5 dishes, saying numerous time 1/2 ration, pointing to the price, saying 6 euros, each time, small, poco etc. The food arrived all large portions 12 euros plus, for each. Each portion was enough for a main course for 1, so not sure why they thought we'd want 5 of these portions. We complained about this and they were taken away and returned (same plates) just items removed. By which time food Luke warm and we'd lost our appetite. We would definitely not recommend this, especially if English. It was the only time during our holiday we weren't made to feel welcome.

Go to Dona Luna 5 minutes away they are so friendly and food good, or Jordi...

Una experiencia auténtica en el corazón de Torre del Mar. El Mesón La Vendimia es uno de esos lugares que te transportan a la esencia de la cocina tradicional andaluza. Su atmósfera es acogedora y familiar, ideal para disfrutar de una comida sin prisas. La calidad de los ingredientes es indiscutible. Fuimos tres personas, y para compartir, pedimos una tabla de 8 pulguitas variadas, partidas por la mitad. Dos de nosotros optamos por el menú del día que incluía un primero, un segundo, bebida y postre. Elegimos arroz caldoso como primer plato y calamares en salsa como segundo. La tercera persona, que pidió a la carta, disfrutó de un plato principal: un Tex-Mex que era como un San Jacobo empanado y frito, relleno de pollo, salsa mexicana y jalapeños que lo hacían bastante picante. Para terminar, los tres elegimos un postre, y los que probamos —flan, yogur griego con tocino de cielo y crema catalana helada— estaban todos muy ricos. La atención del personal fue excelente; fueron muy amables, atentos y el servicio en general fue muy bien. Se nota el cariño y la pasión por lo que hacen. Si buscas alejarte de los restaurantes turísticos y quieres probar una comida auténtica y deliciosa, el Mesón La Vendimia es una visita obligada. El precio es muy razonable; el menú del día de 12 € no es nada caro dada la calidad del producto, y los platos de la carta, como el Tex-Mex y las pulguitas, tampoco tienen un precio excesivo para la excelente calidad que ofrecen. Es, sin duda, una joya escondida en Torre del Mar, y es muy posible que...

First visit. Four of us sat outside and ordered from the menu of the day. Three waters with ice and one (what seemed be fresh) Orange juice. Four starters and four (all different) main meals. And a basket of bread. All served promptly and politely and everyone agreed their food was very edible. 36 Euros all in. 4 stars instead of 5 because it was a first visit. Will go again and similar standards...
