Like you we found the lime bar and restaurant excellent value, both food and service were excellent.This includes the bar snacks as well. Prices how do they do it?. We have eaten at the lime bar and restaurant several times and from bar meals to a la carte excellent value. Plus superb service. We will be there again in October 2010,looking forward to it.

Had a great Night out, food was good and plentiful, Staff were happy and helpful, nice to see some smiling faces. Very busy so make sure you book in advance! There was live entertainment on the evening we went but this isn’t the case every night.

I had the sea food pasta and it was very creamy and had just the right amount of Garlic!

We have only just been made aware of this website and felt obliged to share our opinions. My wife and I have been visiting Almoradi for the last six years and always make a point of having at least one meal at Restaurante Giovanni during every trip.

Have been many times lovely Indian food 4 course meal you can pick anything on the menu before 7.30pm The Staff who are English are very friendly.

Hi I have been to China Town Laguna many time it is very different from all the other Chinese around this area. The food is great and the service is excellent.

Having been the previous week to look at this beautiful establishment, we booked a table for Saturday night to enjoy the flamenco and the food. The table was for 8pm and we sat outside enjoying the evening sun.

The waiters were very polite and friendly and took our drinks order straight away. The wine list was somewhat eclectic with Barbadillo at 13 euros a bottle. ( 3.50 in most supermarkets - but you do expect to pay a little more when fine dining - however that's quite a profit!)

This year was our first visit to the Spice Hut; from arrival to leaving the owners were attentive and pleasant. The food was as good as I have tasted anywhere, beautifully cooked with exquisite tastes, wow what a find. It is so good we went another 3 times. I wish it was near where I live.

Well done Spice Hut you are superb!!!

This is simply the "BEST" restaurant I have visited as a permanent resident in 10 years.

Not a nice place and would certainly not recommend it to anyone. We have visited our plaice a few times and have found the staff to be rude and the food sub-standard.
The last time we went in, the young waitress stared at us until we ordered, no "hello" or "how can i help you". At the end of ordering she said "is that it?", not "would you like anything else?". she was really abrupt and rude. the pie we ordered was soggy and the chips undercooked. There aren't many English fish and chips places on the urbanisation so I firmly believe that people keep going back not due to choice, but lack of options!
I would email them myself but unfortunately I cannot find a website or email address for them.

I recently visited Oasis,  i thoroughly enjoyed my short visit and as a result have been back a number of times. The service was brill, and the staff were very welcoming, it clearly is a well run family business as you can tell with the laid back atmosphere! I had a chicken and bacon panini and it was to die for! Cheers for the service!  See you sometime in the week.

I have been to this restaurant several times since they moved to Quesada. The food has varied a little over that time, but has always been good. Most of the time it is exceptional.

Their dishes are cooked from scratch. The last time the food was amazing. The flavours are complex & you can really taste the herbs & spices in each dish. You have to wait for the food, but it is worth the wait.

In some Indian restaurants everything tastes more or less the same; here that is definitely not the case.

Their desserts are wonderful too.

I have Indian friends from the UK who have eaten here & they say that the food here is authentic Indian food, not the pre packaged stuff so many Indian restaurants in Europe serve.

You can also book Indian cooking courses here & they will also sell you fresh spices when they have enough stock. They are always really friendly, helpful & welcoming. They have comfortable sofas, so you can enjoy a drink while you order & wait for your food, or extend your evening after you finish eating. It is not decorated like a typical Indian restaurant, they have their own unique comfortable & welcoming style.

The food is reasonably priced. They do a buffet some nights & menu of the day, so you can try their food without spending a lot, but their a la carte food is the best tasting.

We had a  very enjoyable meal at Frissan on 6 December. The chicken was excellent and also the posh fish and chips.
 
The christmas set menu available during December was good value and has a good choice. Rum & Raisin cheescake was light and creamy. Staff friendly as always.

I had another lovely meal at Frissan which has a nice atmosphere and friendly staff.  The Coronation Chicken was excellent and the Chicken Breast stuffed with feta cheese and wrapped in Parma ham was delicious.  I look forward to visiting again!

Following on from your review the other week on Menu Del Noche dining, we went to Frissan Restaurant in San Miguel de Salinas to sample what they have to offer.

From first walking into the restaurant we were greeted by the waitress & asked if we had booked we replied no, but wondered why she asked because there were only a few tables in.
Later that evening I realized why the restaurant was nearly full.

On to the food, we were given the menus & told about the specials & the soup. My husband & I ordered from the set menu 3 courses plus half bottle of wine for 14.50 euros.

During all 6 holidays in Almoradi we have always visited REDZ DINER for a number of meals but were not aware of this site, now that we are we feel compelled to say that the friendly efficient service and choice of food is second to none.

We feel that they do the very best steak in town and their half pound Irish Burger is to die for!!!!  My Daughter adores the freshly made milkshakes and when we pre-book we get a free bottle of wine.  REDZ has a a relaxed atmosphere with good background music and the lovely Irish owners really do everything to make sure that we are comfortable, happy with our food, and everything is to our satisfaction.  We would highly recommend a visit for a great dining experience.

If you don't include a visit to this restaurant during your stay on the Costa Blanca, then you have missed out on a great night out.

Cote Jardin offers the full package - great ambience, wonderful front of house service and then fantastic food.  It is like stepping into another world - the restaurant itself is beautifully decorated and the tables simple but so definitely French 'chic'.  Ludi and Virginia offer a fantastic welcome, whether it is your first visit, or you are regulars.  There is an air of calm - no rush to order and yet no long, unnecessary waiting around.  They watch their customers and instinctively know when they are ready to order etc.

You may want to share with you customers some of my experiences (and my family') in the Banana Tree restaurant in Quesada.
 
We ate there over a week ago and 3 of us shared a "dinner for 3". Since then we have all been violently ill with various food poisoning problems. Luckily, my wife chose her own dish and did not eat from our "dinner for 3" - she is nearly 7 months pregnant and I would have major concerns if she, was as ill I the rest of us have been.
 
Separate to this, we were also short changed, that was corrected. Also, the placement of ornamental objects on shelves above people's heads and on thoroughfares, is also very dangerous.............that is if the food does not get you first !
 
We will not be returning.

First of all I would like to thank you for your recommendation of this diner on your website. Myself, my wife and my two children were over on holidays. We really wanted some place which would suit the whole family and decided to take your advice and try Redz. We were here for 10 days and subsequently re-visited  Redz diner two more times we were so happy with the food, the service and the atmosphere. I won't go into too much detail about the food but suffice it to say that between all 3 visits we sampled much of what was on offer, and everything we ate exceeded all our expectations. I do have to say something about the banoffi pie. I have a special fondness for it and have tried it wherever I have gone. Redz diner has to have the nicest banoffi pie I have ever tasted.

We are coming back next year and our first nights outing will have to be to Redz diner.

Just a quick note of thanks for the recommendation on ReDz Diner in your website. We really had a very tasty meal there this evening. Nice selection on the menu, decent prices + portions. Good music and not too loud. I am not a big eater but had the small Nachos supremo and they were simply delicious. My husband got the Chicken Quesadillas, very nice presentation, fresh fresh and scrumptious.

With such a nice selection of coffees I just couldn’t resist topping it off with an Irish Sambuca Coffee, perfection!

Very good value for money, Nice friendly service “with a smile” Yellow Rose doesn't even come close, not even a chance next to ReDz. 3 thumbs up for ReDz Diner.

We will be going back again soon.

I have been a frequent visitor to the Costa Blanca over the last seven years. The one disappointment was the lack of quality restaurants in the Ciudad Quesada area. That was until Ludi and Julien opened the Cote Jardin. I had sampled their food and service when they were employees at Chez Mama but now they have propelled themselves into a different league.

The last time I visited Villamartin, I went to the Restaurante Real India with my sister for an evening meal twice.  I would give the experience a 10 out of 10 and although curry is not something I crave for would certainly dine there again for the following reasons:

We have been going to the RRI for a long while now, in fact ever since they first opened. Nas and Brian run a perfect restaurant. Brian is front of house and Nas is the chef and a very good one. The food is excellent and good value but the food is not the only reason that we are still going back after all these years.
 
We pass about six or so other Indian restaurants on our way to the RRI and we hardly ever go in. The reasons for this are they are not the same standard. The owners or staff never remember our names, Brian does and did from the second visit. The RRI is clean and the room is always perfectly laid out. The standard of service is first class and the food is always cooked to perfection by Nas and her staff.
 
Thank you Nas and Brian for seven good years and countless great meals.

Being uncondicional fans of Indian cuisine, my ladyfriend and myself, have visited tens of those restaurants in various citys of the world, including the northern part of India itself.  We have been invited for dinners  (and even religious ceremonies) amongst our Indian friends.

Our conclusion is unanimously: visiting  the Villamartin  Real India you will taste the most balanced dishes, if you like them very hot or rather very mild; never the sensation comes up that something is overdone wih one particular flavour. We had several dishes from the menu both meat and vegetarian as we always combine them, leaving no place left  for desserts:  here we have no experience, but the variety of curries, tandoory and biriyani are definitely amongst the best we ever had; also the presentation is adequate as are the wines at a reasonable price.

Congratulations chef Nasrin and her devoted organizing husband Mr. Bryan Joseph.

This was my favourite curry house until recently.  As a regular customer who has dined here for the last four years at least 3-4 times a month.  I now feel i never want to step foot in the place again.
 
Recently they added a menu of the night for 9.99 euros, and we dined there with 14 friends and the bill came to nearly 220 euros, the drinks were overpriced and we were overcharged for drinks we did not have, but the food portions were just right.  I was a little disappointed but food was good.

Had a lovely menu of the night, food was all really nice and the staff lovely.  I have lived in Quesada for four years and never ventured in though it looked a little off putting.  I wish i would of tried earlier.
 
In fact we are taking the mother in law tonight!

We've been to Mulberry's a few times recently, March 2009 & May & June 2009 around 3.30pm & each time we've had wonderful dishes served to us & very quickly too. I like wine with a meal though & a glass of red wine there was well over 2€, I think it was mentioned to be 2.65€ when I enquired, don't quote me. We had small beers @ 1.30€. The dishes we tried were only 4.95€ each, one was a sweet sticky Thai beef on salad & another was chicken tikka with mint raita topping, both so yummy. Meals were large too. Mulberry's bake their own bread & their sandwiches are beautiful, served with coleslaw & crisps. (Doorsteps of bread). All in all a great place & we can't wait to return.

We went three times May / June (once with a wheelchair hence that restaurant, for ease of access) so obviously it was acceptable.

Garden's pretty with trees & rose bushes & piped music from mini speakers in trees. Little waterfall feature too. Can be very windy there & umbrellas were being blown around with no one sorting that out & diners were vulnerable.

Steak was ok, but the veg. were horrible! We were the only diners in there and felt uncomfortable as if we were disturbing the staff, would Not return!

Fantastic food, something a bit different to the norm, Trev loved his seafood risotto and my monkfish was fantastic with the saffron cream. English and Spanish visitors, a good,  friendly atmosphere from John and his team. Outside dining area for those hot evenings.  We’ll definitely be back John.

Excellent Restaurant,  expensive but worth it, very different dining experience – over the years the whole family have enjoyed many wonderful evenings (and lunchtimes as only a five minute walk away for us) it is well worth a visit if in the area. Cant praise it highly enough the Staff certainly know how to look after you.

I have eaten there many times and have never been dissapointed, a bit pricey but well worth it. We usually share a starter of the tomato bread ... plenty for two people. The staff are very friendly and helpful. It is a good idea to book because they get very busy in the 'high season'.

Had a fabulous meal in Portico Mar only marred by the fact that we popped next door for tea/coffee for the 5 of us and 2 cakes and it came to 25/28e.  Will not be visiting that cafe ever again.

Last week as a bit of a celebration my wife and I went to the L'Arlequin, Calle Valencia, Bajo A - Edif Novamares III,  96 571 37 82, 03180 Torrevieja.

The dining room is a large airy room overlooking Torrevieja Marina and has nice simple uncluttered decor. Background music is just that "background".
Firstly appetizers,  we had a plate of Alioli a coarse Pork Terrine pate and warm bread, butter, crisps and olives. A bottle of House White, nice cold and crisp and dry.

My wife decided to stay with the 12€ evening menu starting with a vegetable soup plus optional croutons which satisfied the 5 fruits rule in one dish. I sneaked some and it was truly delicious, I had tomato soup and cream which was piping hot and served with fried bread, a lovely mix.

Having worked in Asia for 12 years I can say this is the only restaurant in the area that offers real Chinese tasting food.

Some people who should know better will refer to Menu del Dias as "poor food for poor people". Nothing could be further from the truth in most of the Restaurants that I visit. Take MESON EL HUERTANO; Calle Benejuzar behind Hotel Tuto, Torrevieja,Tel 965717943 . This is a top quality Spanish Restaurant. The dining rooms deserve a mention alone for their bizarre collections of memorabilia hung from the ceiling and walls. Everything from Antlers to old ploughs, really quite remarkable. You can spend a long time just looking at this. I do not think in the UK you would find antique knives and daggers so close to hand. There are 2 dining rooms one for Smokers and the other for Non-smokers.

What a gem, we found this bar by accident after a nice walk along the river to the old watermill, which was interesting, and nice to see people fishing. Dave and Emma were charming, and we were talked into having cocktail smoothies-lovely! If you want good plain food in a nice sunny location people watching, this is for you. Wendy & Mike Curran.

I feel I have to comment on an article in your normally excellent newspaper. The article in question was written by Andy Campbell about the the restaurant Country Cook In. Far from being objective, it read more like a deliberate "chop job" for whatever reason. May I say from the start that I do know the people who own the establishment, but do not have any connection. On the first point plastic garden chairs. Having been in the hospitality trade for over 30 years I am well aware that normal restaurant chairs are usually designed to become less comfortable after about one hour, a hard wooden chair will achieve this end. This is so that people will move of their own volition and another paying guest can have the table. The average garden chair, however is for you to sit and relax in. This is not the reason for plastic chairs, nor is cost, as wooden ones can be sourced for about the same price! The reason, I am told, is that on a less than even floor  (this is supposed to be a rustic setting) plastic chairs flex and sit on the floor without rocking, thus making for a more pleasant time. Of course this will not help if you are o nly concerned with aesthetics.

As regular customers of Country Cookin, we find the remarks made by your restaurant critic quite extraordinary! We have not been to the other two restaurants cited and so cannot comment(although we have been to others who do traditional Sunday lunch). I have a large appetite, and with plenty of unprocessed, freshly cooked meat on my plate, I am well satisfied. The roast potatoes are always crisp on the outside and soft in the middle- just how we like them, and the other vegetables(also fresh), are never over cooked. The presentation is nothing fancy, but, there again, it isn't exactly 'slopped' on the plate either. We don't hold with the 'art on a plate' idea of food. We want good, honest to goodness wholesome food, and that's what we get at Country Cook in. All the desserts( apart from the icecreams) are home made too.

THIS HAS GOT TO BE ONE OF THE BEST RESTAURANTS IN QUASADA. BOOKING IS RECOMENDED. YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED.
 
GREAT SITE

It’s Dutch and family run by Mart, Anja, Nicolette and Cliffton van Oeffelen.

Prices are above average, so I was hoping for a good choice of good food. We didn’t get that – we got an excellent menu and superb food!

The minute we walked in, we were impressed by the décor and elegance of the restaurant, and when we sat down we all agreed that the seats were ideal (myself and on of our friends suffer from arthritis, and bad seats can cause us a great deal of discomfort). The lighting is subdued, so I’ll be taking my reading glasses next time.

Really nice restaurant. Calm tranquil atmosphere with child friendly staff and environment. Beautifully presented tasty menu. Relaxing and enjoyable. Eat in the garden, smell the jasmine and look at the salt lakes. A lovely afternoon out.

Situated between The Bushwaker and The Bog Road on the northern end of the Cabo Roig "strip" is Mexico Minoo.  An excellent place to eat - we have never had a bad meal.  Prices are competative and portions very generous.  The Chef, Didier Boyer, has been running this restaurant for the last five years.  All the food is fresh therefore can be prepared to the customer's liking.  The food is not over spiced making it suitable for most tastes but if you require it it can be made more spicy.  He makes all his own burgers and meatballs from steak.  I am only sad that they are only open in the evenings.  Front of house is Didier's partner Clare and the service is always friendly and nothing too much trouble.

Very good restaurant! Nice decoration and delicious food!!!

I have to disagree with your review on Che Tango – went on 25th September for our anniversary with my parents and there was not one good meal out of four – to be fair, three of us complained and the cost of those meals was refunded – but wasn’t very good for the first, and last, visit there!

One of the best restaurants in the area combining great food with a really warm welcome. A little more expensive than most but, despite its informality, this is a real restaurant and not just a tourist trap and the ingredients used are of a high quality. Booking is a good idea if you want to eat inside as this is quite small, there is also a larger terrace area outside. It's always a joy to eat here!

This is a great restaurant, the food is superb and the staff friendly and welcoming.  I can particularly recommend the goat's cheese salad to start, followed by the Boeuf Bourguignon, and the apple crepes as a dessert.  It is certainly on my list of restaurants to visit when I am next in Spain!

You will find a warm welcome at Cote Jardin. Julien & Ludi, are great host and the food never lets us down.  We have been visiting the restaurant now for over 5 years and never get bored with the menu.  We have tried most things off the menu and they are all highly recommend.  You will not be disappointed.  It is  must on our frequent visits to Spain.  Carry on the good work!!

J'y suis allé, j'y ai goûté....j'ai beaucoup apprécié : d'abord l'accueil, la chaleur et la qualité des plats élaborés avec passion et présentés dans leurs habits de fête..Un régal pour les yeux, un délice pour les papilles...mais peut être ne suis je pas assez impartial....je suis affectivement impliqué dans ce projet...Cela ne fait rien, je ne peux pas passer sous ce silence ce bonheur de voir sa fille, et son mari réusssir là où je ne les attendais pas. La passion, l'envie de réussir, la complicité entre eux font de moi un père comblé...Alors n'hésitez pas, faites le détour "Coté Jardin"....et vous jugerez par vous même.
Merci à vous tous qui les épaulez, chacun à votre façon, par des encouragements, des actions très concrètes....Vos compliments et vos remarques sont de délicieux macarons...à cette cuisine française, expatriée au Sud de l'Espagne.

Having eaten at this Restaurant many times since it opened it has become our firm favourite.  We have sampled much of the brilliant menu and each meal has been superb.  The welcome is always warm and friendly and we really feel at home here.  It is always our first port of call when we arrive in Spain and always take and recommend Cote Jardin to all our friends.  Once you try this Restaurant you won't want to go anywhere else.  Truly excellent.  Can't wait to go back again. 10/10.

If you just want a beautiful steak cooked to your liking and aren’t bothered about the trimmings, then the Patagonia is the place for you. Every member of our group thoroughly enjoyed their main courses. The waitress was overly helpful in advising on how best to have your steak cooked, and was also extremely honest about the vegetable sides. Unfortunately, the only thing that lets down the whole Patagonia franchise is the fact that the green beans, mushrooms and spinach used are all tinned. This is a real travesty considering the plentiful supplies of vegetables that are on their doorsteps! But at least we were told this before ordering. Warning: Don’t fill yourself up with starters as you may struggle to enjoy the beauty of your main!

The €19 set menu provided a wide choice of traditional meal choices and a half bottle of wine. The chilli nachos were nice and the main of chicken with a red wine and bacon sauce on a bed of tagliatelle was a different twist. The downside was the size of the portions meant that a large amount of the vegetables (served separately) were left and wasted. The dessert menu was clearly updated daily with a wholesome choice of homemade offerings, however there were no nice surprises. Previous trips have been a lot more satisfying when choosing from the a la carte menu, so maybe the answer is to pay the price and veer away from the set menu!
