I think I know now, it did have a large area at the back, not sure about a garden

afaik, there is no garden, but it had a very interesting setup... where u had to pass thru the kitchen area to gain access to the 'cellar' restaurant to the rear.
It was a lovely restaurant with very nice staff, and I was sad it closed.
But all things change... and it certainly will be a prime site for O'Lume, if they move there

Sorry Sparky - no garden that I am aware of

Jaime told us in July of probable move but I think he said the new place was not on the front ? Can't wait to go again wherever it is

Could be on the Verge del Carme, near to Mollies.

Do we win a prize for the one that guesses the correct location?

that would be great but unfortunately only One Jaime
think location of new restaurant will be much closer
than Alcudia

we have been there 4 times in last fortnight
and consider it to be one of the best restaurants in port
for quality of food, service and value .
Once again we have a sweeping generalisation on the restaurant, for critics to be of any value to anyone, you will have to be much more specific on what you didnt like about the restaurant or as Snowy suggests perhaps this
one is just not for you.

Having had an impromptu meet up with a couple of members last night in Nostalgia i am going to pin my colours to the mast and say it will be the old El Pozo site. It has both garden and open fire

.
If it is, i will be a happy bunny as it is a much closer staggering distance to home

Went to O'Lume this evening and Jaime confirmed that the move is to be to the El Pozo site.
He hopes to sign early next week.

Cheers!

Sparky, just so I know to avoid it, are we talking about the Indian restaurant next to the El Poso bar. Gpm

GPM, I think we all now get the message you are not a fan of O' Lume, you've made your point, think we can now dispense with the (unfair) remarks you seem to revel in at every opportunity, take a day off.

Is El Pozo on the main road out of town?

Sparky · #42 19-09-2009, 09:01

Yes Joanne, it was a chinese but they moved out during the winter.

Gommar Goffer · #43 19-09-2009, 11:20

Is El Pozo the one with a back entrance next to Tots?

GG

PP76 · #44 19-09-2009, 11:36

Yes, although I dont think it has been used since the time of the original El Pozo.

Smiddy · #45 19-09-2009, 15:37

Used to frequent the old El Pozo restaurant when Juan (now running Casa Isabel) had a lot of framed and signed pictures of various stars on the walls, one i remember was Julie Christie, people who went there before PP became well known.

Hopefully, this will give Jaime the break he deserves, the new location should now dispense with the main complaint that O' Lume sometimes seemed too quiet, no excuse now folks
