Firstly want to say thanks to this forum as it helped to make our holiday in PP this year much better than the previous 2
1st night after reading so many good things about Brisa Marina went here first and weren't disappointed. menu of the day spaghetti and whitebait to start, lovely, chicken in peppercorn sauce, hubby had John Dory, son (7 years) had pork escalope, ice cream and choc mousse, bottle of wine and a Fanta - 41 euro - what can I say brilliant food at a brilliant price!!
2nd night off to O'Lume, menu of the day again. Got a complimentary appetizer, both had tagliatelli with prawns - bit salty, followed by mixed fishe marinere? really tasty, son had half portion of chicken in peppercorn sauce which he loved, sweet of mixed ice-cream, bottle of wine, fanta and a liqueur and chocs on the house (chocs are delicious) bill was 52 euro - excellent value again!
3rd night
El Posito, frito and salad el posito style, shoulder of lamb and suckling pig, both were delicious and a good selection of veg and potatoes too. Kids meal was grilled beef steak and chips, was really good and probably the biggest kids meal my little one had, bottle of house white and fanta, didn't need deserts, 66 euro great!
4th night - AWFUL - were going to Trio's, stopped to look at the Indian next door Mirch Massala?? said we would try an Indian this year (normally never bother, consider it a bit of a waste) seemed a fair few people in so we asked for a table, again set menu 13.95 looked good value, special kids menu too. Order taken after about 15 mins and brought our drinks, not bottle of wine just a tiny glass. We waited and waited - over 45 minutes at least and still no starter, I was furious, after all only about another 5 or 6 tables being waited on. We were going to order a bottle of wine, but on principle I wouldn't, personally I would have just paid up for the drinks and left but hubby complained and they eventually brought the starters and the childrens meal over, nothing great, main course followed about ten minutes later and mine was awful, supposedly beef jalfrezi, but there wasn't a decent piece of meat in it, to be fair hubby said his korma was ok the naan was the best (ordered as extra) after a quick sweet of ice-cream hubby got up and paid the bill and although we got no apology we were only charged 30 eruo. However when he was paying the bill someone else was complaining that they too had been waiting 45 minutes - definitely won't be going there again!
5th night - Los Zarzales, menu of the day 22 euro, broad beans and tuna salad starter, cod and chicken for mains, both excellent, not too impressed with the kids meal, very small portion for the price, chicken burger no salad or anything and about 6 chips! first one my son didn't like, wine and fanta - cheesecake for sweet - just ok, service was fine bill was 58 euro, good value for what we had, would recommend the set menu but went last night of our hols and disappointed (review in part 2)
6th night - La Goleta - mixed feelings about this one. Starters of seafood frito and nordini of mushrooms, both nice enough - hubby had wild boar which was really chewy and he didn't like at all, pork in cabbage for me which was ok, childs spaghetti which was decent portion, bottle of wine and the usual fanta bill was 73 euro, was ok but would pick others in front of this one.
Part 2 to follow!!
