These are more traditional Spanish dishes. Excellent fresh, local fish is grilled just to the right degree: done but still tender and moist. The beef cuts are of very good quality, cooked at the right speed in the oven to also be tender and moist. The simple classics like salmorejo and gazpacho are excellent starters here. The same is the true for the cheese selection. There are some very nice options for vegetarians (nod to my wife). The wine selection is fairly good. The service is better than most. The patio is a nice place to sit and relax with friends. Prices are absolutely very reasonable. I would give it 4.5 stars if I could (and I almost never give 5 stars).

In our search for tasty tapas we dropped in on El Sibarita…read morewhich is a small modern bar with plenty of outside seating situated just opposite the Bodega La Barrica near the main plaza. It's not much to look at but we had noticed that it seemed to draw quite a crowd of locals in the evening which always bodes well. It was a bit chilly when we dropped by so we decided to sit on one of the two small tables inside. We received a very warm and friendly welcome which is always nice quite possibly the tourist was a rare sight at this bar. There is not a great deal of choice on the wine front but they have a decent glass of house for only EUR2 and the tiny kitchen out back knocks up some very nice snacks to compliment your drink. We had a lovely grilled pork fillet which came with a little mound of well-seasoned mash, anchovies doused in vinaigrette and some very tasty squid with a shredded cabbage salad and a dollop of mayonnaise. The normal rules of one drink equals one tapas did not seem to be applying as the snackage just kept on coming .. If you are looking for a nice local vibe and wallet friendly prices then El Sibarita will suit you just fine.

La Gaviota was our favourite restaurant in town and we ate…read morehere a few times on our recent short holiday. It's not haute cuisine but you will be served very tasty, fresh well cooked food by a happy band of waiting staff at wallet friendly prices in a stunning location you would be having a very bad day if you did not enjoy a meal here. If you are facing the sea in the centre of La Herradura you will find La Gaviota at the right end of the bay, about 15 to 20 minutes walk away. It's the first of the small group of restaurants at that end, situated right on the beach with its own car parking area. There is a bar at the front, where you can have a drink and tapas if you don't feel like a full meal, with the main restaurant on a terrace at the back facing the sea picture postcard location with views to match. On a sunny afternoon in late September with the restaurant to ourselves, an empty beach and a bottle of Albarino this seemed like paradise. As the weather gets more chilly the terrace is covered up and it's quite cosy in the evening. The menu is pretty much the same as you will find in other restaurants in town but the food here seemed much fresher and was particularly tasty. Fish is always a good thing to order so I'd advise have a chat with the friendly waiting staff to see what they recommend. Stand out dishes we tried were a starter of gambas pil pil which was enough for two to share, a very tasty garlic chicken and a wonderful plate of delicately fried mixed fish. The wine list is good with some interesting wines at very reasonable prices. If you like sherry I'd recommend ordering the small bottle of La Guita Manzanilla as a perfect way to start your meal; enough for two generous glasses at only 4 euros. The house wine is very easy drinking at 8 euro and if you want to push the boat out a little there is a decent bottle of Albarino for 15 euro. If you only have time to enjoy one meal in La Herradura I would recommend that you visit La Gaviota for a long lazy lunch followed by a leisurely stroll along the beach back into town perfect.

For the mains 3 of us had the al'arrabiata sauce, 2 over fresh meccarone and the other over fresh gnocchi. It was amazing. The pasta was perfectly al dente, and the gnocchi were small pillows of air. The sauce was garlicy and spicy as it should be. My wife had the 4 cheese gnocchi, and ate every bite. We were stuffed, but my girls go nowhere without dessert. Chocolate cake with ice cream was warm and moist for the oldest, a Nutella crepe with strawberries and cream and homemade strawberry cheesecake.
