So that is the starter and main course out of the way, on to the main event - the puds!
Next up was our puddings – and we both went for the same one – chocolate cake with ice-cream. As you can see they were beautifully presented. And they tasted as good as they looked!
Again I had a clean plate! Jonny less so, but these were big portions and he is only 10 so can’t be expected to clean his plate like me…
BTW - after this photo was taken I think I managed to almost lick the plate completely clean it was that good!
I must admit when I first went to
El Posito last year I was a bit disappointed with the view from the outside. The tables and chairs outside are placed on the road in between the parked cars. Not very
romantic I thought. I didn't get a chance to look inside as it was shut. But I have to say inside the restaurant it looks lovely, very stylishly decorated and I really liked the brown and orange colour scheme.
It was also air-conned inside so was lovely and cool.
A special mention needs to go to the waiting staff - they were superb. There were two who tended to us - an English waiter and a Mallorcan-looking waiter who spoke perfect English. The Mallorcan-looking one spent time explaining what all the Mallorcan meals were so we could be sure what we wanted to order (and so I could also check that my fussy dining companion would be likely to eat his food!).
The English one was really friendly and joked with Jonny plenty of times. I asked him which wines they did in half bottles because the wine list didn't say and he said that the house wines came in 1/2 bottles. So I ordered the house white as a 1/2. When it arrived he started opening a full bottle so I instantly reminded him that I only wanted a half. He told me not to worry, it would be OK. I drank approx half the bottle and they only charged me for 1/2 which was great service I thought.
So overall, and this won't come as a surprise if you've read this far, El Posito is a fabulous restaurant and I completely recommend it. The bill came to just south of €50. So it wasn't "cheap" but it certainly was exceptional value for the quality of the food, drink, service and ambiance.
