Stopped in here for a quick meal, after unpacking. This was located directly across from our room,…read moreand seemed lively (several groups) in spite of being the 'low season'.
The staff spoke mainly Spanish and French. They were very friendly. With what little we retained from high school Spanish, we were able to order with very little difficulty.
We started with:
Sangria, 1Liter
Patatas Bravas
Tempura Vegetables
These were all great!
The sangria had just the right amount of effervescence to tickle the tongue, and bring out the fruit flavors, which balanced well with the red wine.
Note: they also offer a version made with sparkling white wine. Sangria Cavo, which we look forward to trying very soon. {:-)
I really enjoyed their take on tempura. Red & green bell peppers, onions, carrots. All of which remained crunchy to the last mouthful, even though it came drizzled in teriyaki.
The Patatas Bravas arrived cooked to perfection, and covered with a very creamy aioli. It was a little too much aioli for me. Even with that, though, the dish was a hit.
There were a couple of misses here. Which is the reason for the 4 stars (instead of 5).
The first miss: we had to order the Salmon a la plancha (grilled salmon) three times, from two different staff members.
The second miss: there was a very small section of my salmon that was slightly undercooked. It was hardly noticeable, except for the color. So small, in fact, that I seriously debated whether to even include it here.
This place is definitely worth a try if you're in Platja de la Pineda.
