We had the lunch menu today. Fantasic value at €12 for a starter main and dessert plus a drink and coffee too. Every course was delicious, and we especially enjoyed the main of salmon grilled on a plancha. I had the Spanish baked custard with a caramel sauce., and my husband had the chocolate ice-cream. Delicious The guy serving us was very helpful and friendly. A great atmosphere, and a place to go back to very soon. Thank youx

Absolutely great new restaurant addition for Catral, we ordered croquettes one each. Expected to get ONE croqueta but one portion seems to be two. So that's really nice for only 1,80, the flavour is very good. And we was surprised the crisps that come we th the drinks are home made! Absolutely outstanding. The staff is also very kind and professional. Looking forward to the front what I've heard future entertainment that they will have too, that will make the place even more complete. I will come back here, I truly recommend this place.

The only reason I have taken points off is because we would have preferred to eat outside but it was 30 degrees and there were no tables totally in shade. Even those under the overhang were only partly shaded and we would have burnt if we had sat right out the front as the shades were simply not big enough. Please consider awnings because as the weather is now hot, hot, hot, every seat needs to be shaded. Otherwise fantastic value for money on a daily changing menu del dia and service possibly too keen as I personally don't like empty plates being cleared whilst we are still eating from other plates and courses came too quickly with no time to take a breather inbetween but this is being picky. We had a bread basket, a salad to share, then we both had rusa salad which came in a huge pile with half a boiled egg and two croquettes each. I was now full with the main meal and sweet still to come. Also a lovely glass of house wine and a small beer, all for €13. We will certainly re-visit but unless there is more shade we won't be eating outside and this could possibly make the restaurant look unpopular. We drove past a couple of months back when it was cooler and it was packed but yesterday, 29th May, at 30 degrees, it was a lot quieter and we nearly didn't risk it.
