REVIEW: Hibiscus June 2009

[Lala70w]

Hibiscus has always been a favouite of ours. It is a family run establishment on the edge on the square in PP. Nice linen, friendly staff, good home-cooked food.

This year they have a MDD which had a very good selection. Hubby opted for that and I had a delicious steak with pepper sauce. Bottle of Mallorcian red wine, 2 beers, water, coffee and amarettos - 60 euros. Free Heirbas, friendly service. Recommended.

Lala, As i've mentioned on a other post, a fine restaurant, indeed. Don't understand how on hot humid nights people sit and sweat outside when you have this lovely air-conditioned oasis to dine in. The late (great) Rikki Fulton was a big fan of this restaurant.

We really must try this one, so often we have said we would but just never got there. Thanks for all your reviews Lala.

Thanks again Lala!

So often sitting at the Neptune for a beer or some lunch was always amazed there would never be anyone in Hibiscus and it does look a cool sanctuary on an evening where dining outside might be a tad uncomfortable.

Will put on list to try.

And in this day and age there is a pretty wide choice to please most palates on the MDD menu, at areasonable price.

A couple of years ago this forum was full of reviews saying the Hibiscus service was surly and unpleasant and food very average.

Clearly something has changed?

I have been going to Hib for 10 years and always found the staff and food lovely - it's family run.

Their veggy "paella" is still spoken about in hushed tones by my mother and 13 year old niece who shared some 2 years ago... in fact, that particular night my mother accidently took the linen knapkin with her and when she tried to return it the lady insisted she keep it!

Lala, when you call it Hib (or even better Hibs) it makes me consider visiting.
