Been back a week now so thought I should sort out my report. Arrived 14th August. Completely trouble free start flight on time,
car hire no problem arrived in PP by 10.45 am totally chilled straight away.
4 adults including my eldest son and his wife to be.
Friday we or maybe I decided we should go to
C'an Josep I'd read so much about this restaurant I thought we should try it. I had allways avoided this section of restaurants as we not very keen on the location, but this was very good. No starters, main course Salmon in cider sauce, grilled salmon,leg of lamb and for me Bream Mallorcan style all superb followed by just 1 creme broule and another dessert not sure what. 2 large beers 1 small, Jug Sangria, water bill 88 euros. This is a must go to restaurant lovely staff and Josep goes out of his way to please. Thanks Josep for and good luck with your restaurant you deserve to succeed.
Saturday. Wander down the pine walk stop off at the
Miramar for a drink and then onto
Coral Bar, allways enjoy it here the husband and wife team and the rest of the staff are excellent. Squid rings to start, 2 chicken in peppar sauce, Hake and Tumbet, Grilled sole and Tumbet all well cooked piping hot and very enjoyable, bottle Macia Batle 3 large beers several bottles water, very hot night, coffee's 103 euros. Again very enjoyable.
Sunday Drinks at El Ancla then to
Llenaire Like the setting up here and nice service. The heat is taking it's toll 1 or 2 not very hungry. Again no starters Paella for 2 , 1 carbonara and 1 grilled chicken nice but maybe not as good as previous visits not sure what it was. 3 large beers 3 small, bottle of wine can't remember what, water and coffees. 88 Euros not the best but pretty good value.
Monday Drinks at Bonys got to go there a couple of times, then
C'an Ferrer I like this place but Mrs TM is not so keen. Got to have the Mussells to start, superb, lamb chops, spanish ommlette and 2 chicken in peppar sauce, jug of Sangria one of the best we had, 1 large beer water and a Carajillo for me. Total bill 63 Euros good value for money.
Tuesday Not out tonight as we had spent the day with friends at Puigpenyent and eaten late in the afternoon.
Wednesday Son and GF off on their own for a
romantic meal. Decided this was the night to visit
O'Lume. Drinks at El Ancla saw a poor lady twist her knee on the steps, you know who you are
. O'Lume was fairly quiet when we arrived about 9pm only 4 or 5 tables in use 2 with young chidren and didn't hear a peep from them. Usual free gratis starter, Grilled Turbot for Mrs TM and Monkfish and clam casserole for me, Wine was Albarino which was suggested by Jaime and superb it was, shared a Creme coconut brule for dessert water and Cortado's and complimentary brandy and amaretto. This meal was superb and Jaime was his usual charming self can do no wrong in my eyes.service is top quality as is the food. Bill 66 euros
Only problem it's very hot in there even if you sit near a fan but you can't have everything.
Watch this space some big news coming about O'Lume.
Thursday Daughter and her husband have now joined us for a week.
Drinks at El Ancla this is certainly a good value place for drinks very reasonable. My Daughter is suffering from lack of sleep as it was no sleep the previous night and we are all suffering from the heat it has been a very hot week so far and the evenings have been very muggy. So a quick visit to
Manduca 5 Pizza's for the family and a Carbonara for me, which was very good and the others all raved about theirs, if you like pizzas then these are very good, 3 large beers 1 small, 1 jug sangria 1 large bottle water. Total bill 88 euros.
Thats the end of the first week. The heat in the evenings seemed to kerb everyones hunger and we couldn't eat large meals, didn't kerb the drinks though
.
We had a superb 1st week weather was fantastic and we had all really enjoyed ourselves.
2nd week to follow if I don't send you all to sleep.
