Bar Sumia — Restaurant in Vejer de la Frontera

We drove past this restaurant, we thought it would be St Tropez prices it looked so chic. We parked and walked back. Their board said two beers and prawns €8.50 we thought that isn’t bad so we stopped. Oh my ! We ordered the prawns and beer which they allowed us to swap for Fanta and coke. Then we thought let’s try l lunch. We ordered chicken bastilla and lamb kebabs with potatoes. It was the best food we had in some time. Don’t me wrong, we had some amazing food on our trip but this was amazing. The layers of taste of herbs and spices left us smiling and just quite frankly speechless. It was heavenly. A taste not experienced since my trip to Tunisia in 1988. We finished with a thickened yogurt with goats cheese balls filled with orange. Sounds amazing but the savoury dishes had already bought our love. The most wonderful service throughout, even to the free aperitif of carrot with cumin to the offer to move to a position in the shade. Clean toilets and an exemplary service not experienced for some time. This all goes to make it a definite place to stop to the most picturesque village...

It’s intimate, a little mysterious, and the kind of place you want to stay in long after your plate’s empty.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for a meal with flavour, character, and...

It was the mairnated sardine that caught our attention, as we walked past and saw some people eating outside. So, after a caña somewhere else, we went straight back to Bar Sumia, in search of sardines! They were well worth it, as was the rest of the food. The place is small with a few tables outside, the service is kind and attentative, and the food is clearly prepared with a lot of care. Don't forget to order the...
