Service was quick and friendly. The waiter suggested a couple dishes we wouldn&#39;t have ordered ourselves, and they were spot on. Felt looked after the whole time, no rush at all.

The grilled fish was so good! We shared a bunch of seafood plates with friends, and that one was definitely the star. Perfect for a casual catch-up. The vibe was a bit loud, but we didn&#39;t mind.

The Calatrava flan was a highlight, you can taste the freshness of the eggs. The starter portion was a little small for me, though.

Family-run spot with a long history. Classic for authentic seafood, but portions are a bit small for the price.

After a recent renovation, the restaurant has a lovely ambiance and continues to serve high-quality dishes. It&#39;s a great spot for both hotel guests and the general public.

The sea bream was the star, cooked just right. The waiter suggested it and he was correct. Very fresh. A lovely, simple meal.

Quick lunch spot. Got the chicken sandwich. Came out fast, which is what I needed. Tasted decent. Not the best I&#39;ve had, but it did the job. Good for a quick bite when you&#39;re in a rush.

The set menu is a solid deal. I was really impressed with the apple tart - you could tell it was baked fresh right there. Warm, flaky crust, not too sweet. That alone made the visit worth it. Service was fast, no complaints.

The grilled cuttlefish here is so good! Perfect for sharing with friends. The staff were super friendly, which made our little catch-up feel even nicer. The place itself is cozy and welcoming. We also tried the steamed mussels, generous portions for sure.

A bit of a trek from the city, but the paella in El Palmar was the best I&#39;ve had in seven years here. The rice was just right, with that perfect socarrat crust. Staff were lovely even on a holiday.

Family dinner last week. The service was really professional, staff were attentive without hovering. Food was good, but honestly nothing stood out as exceptional. The interior is quite fashionable, though. A solid spot, but maybe a bit pricey for what you get.

Been getting takeout here for years. It&#39;s always spotless inside, which matters to me. Prices are fair for what you get, nothing fancy but solid portions.

Came for dinner, the portions are huge! Ordered the pasta and a salad, ended up taking half of it home. For the price, you definitely get a lot of food.

The pasta was cooked just right, and the pizza had a nice crispy crust. Portions are huge, so sharing is a good idea. Prices are fair for what you get.

Had a late dinner here, the modern Spanish Mediterranean dishes were spot on. The wine list had some interesting local options, which paired nicely with the grilled octopus. A solid find off the main tourist drag.

Been coming here for years, and the arroz con costra is the reason. That crust is always spot on, never soggy. It&#39;s the one thing I know won&#39;t change.

Lovely terrace, perfect for a sunny afternoon. We tried a few of their small sandwiches &ndash; the Serrano ham one was really good. Nice spot to hang out with friends, nothing fancy but does the job.

Came for lunch, the calamari sandwich was spot on - crispy, not rubbery at all. Patatas bravas had just the right kick. Service was quick, got my order in no time. Solid spot for a casual bite.

A nice spot away from the main tourist streets. The vegan burger was pretty good, better than I expected. The place has a decent, relaxed feel to it.

The seafood was incredible, fresh and perfectly cooked. Steaks were also great, but the real star was the mousse dessert. So light and creamy. A bit pricey, but worth it for a treat.

Been coming here for years, and the croquettes are always spot on. That creamy filling, the crispy shell... just hits the same every single time. It&#39;s the one thing I know I can count on.

The carajillo here is the real deal. They nail the balance of espresso and brandy every time, even when the bar is packed. It&rsquo;s strong, smooth, and the sugar crust on the rim is perfect. That&rsquo;s the only reason I keep coming back.

The Andalusian-style squid was fantastic, so fresh. But the real star was their house white wine - it paired perfectly with the seafood, really brought out the flavors. A bit pricey for the portion, but that wine made it worthwhile.
