Day 3. Tonight we decided to have some more tapas, after lunch in the
Daina snack bar in the pool we werent very hungry. We ended up in L'illa cafe on the front. Especially after noticing there special offer of 6 tapas and a bottle of vino for 34euros! I remember i had homemade meatballs, garlic mushrooms (again) and deep fried camembert. All very nice, and even the bottle of house wine was lovely. There are better tapas bars in the port but for 34euros it was great!
A lovely setting here too, with views of the med but good for people watching too. Worth a visit.
Day 4. (Since i'm behind
)
And Tiberi. A family favourite of ours and even tho it was only the 2 of us this year we thought we'd give it another go.
Deep fried vegatables for my starters, these were huge and enough for the 2 of us really but they were delicious. I managed to get half the bowl down me
. And for my mains i had the lamp chops. 6 of them! Agian very nice.
2 starters and a bottle of red vino (of course) was about 50euros (i think)
The service was great and the atmosphere was as always chilled. It was strange that whilst Tiberi was packed, the restaurant across the road (
Nicos) was nearly empty! Could it be something to do with the waiters in Tiberi welcoming everyone as they passed? Or the lovely candlelite setting of the tables and restaurant? But whilst we were there, Mrs Jiggy got a bit of a shock from the Scream mask in Nicos dark doorway.
Laugh, i nearly spat my vino out! But that wouldve been a waste.
Day 5.(i'm on a roll) And we saved the best til last. Of course it had the be
Stay. We booked an outside table for 7:30, just in time to see the sun go down over the mountains (see, i can do romance too!) The manager and staff here are sooo professional they are a credit to the port. We both chose the vegi soup fro starters, and i ordered the duck breast for mains. And the wine? One of Janes recommendations, the Son Brodils Merlot (26€
but worth it. ). After about a 5 min wait the waitress came back with 2 small plates of what looked like fish on a bed of cold veg bruschetta. This was before our staters. Nice touch.
The food was,as expected, beautiful. And the wine even better. The setting fantastic, best in the port i think. And at the end, free schapps. This restaurant was the highlight of our holiday (agian). You just cant beat its overall package.
The bill came to 75€ which i thought was very good considering what we had.
Oh yeah, then Bonys
.
So thats it. Our 5 day holiday in PP. Funny, it all started out with Mrs Jiggy wanting a weekend in Chester, then i found a 4 day break in Edinburgh for £400, then ended up with a 5 day stay in our beloved PP for onl £50 more! Bargain.
Roll on our next PP visit
