If you're searching for a Mediterranean restaurant that combines both quality food and spectacular…read morenatural landscaping to create a dining experience that's truly magical, Panorama is just that.
My friend and I enjoyed a fantastic lunch at Panorama one afternoon, and were highly impressed. The views of the Mediterranean coastline were stunning, as we sat on the terrace. Every one of our senses were invigorated by the food, the drinks, and the scents drifting through the air.
The restaurant is designed to be minimalistic, using the view as its sole décor. Situated in the Marina Real Juan Carlos, Panorama's floor to ceiling glass windows and open-air terrace offer the best view of the Las Arenas beach, with the water of the Mediterranean Sea and the busy marina.
We started with the sashimi trilogy: tuna, salmon, and butterfish. The fish was fresh and flavorful, with each having a different taste. My friend loved the octopus over creamed potatoes and oak-smoked olive oil. The oil had a smoky, woodsy flavor which was a perfect contrast to the taste of the sea from the octopus.
We shared Valencian Fideua, vermicelli with fish and seafood from Gandia. The pasta was thin and tender, while the seafood had a great taste. The portions were perfect for sharing, and we had more than enough.
For dessert, my friend indulged in brownie in hot chocolate soup and vanilla bourbon ice cream. She said the vanilla was sweet and balanced with the complexity of the bourbon flavor. I savored the taste of the light crème brulee with lemon coulis and toffee ice cream, which was buttery, creamy, and the lemon flavor gave a burst of citrus freshness. Since Panorama has a modern style of the traditional torrija, Spanish-style French toast, we had to try it. It was delicious!
