Well it has certainly put a smile on my face knowing I've been missed
As usual Sparky is spot on - I've just been really busy with work so haven't really been on here as much as I would like.
Also, with a couple of visits every year and a long list of favourite restaurants (and favourite dishes at each restaurant) I felt I was probably just repeating pretty much the same report each time which would be pretty boring for anyone reading but here are a few quick highlights from the last few visits:
El Posito - remains a top pick for us: food has consistently been great over the years but the addition of the "new" waiter Stephen has made the service & atmosphere even better than before (obviously the atmosphere had bit of an advantage as Lyn & Colin were with us
)
Can Tofol - We've certainly increased our number of visits here (for lunch), in general I'll opt for one of the daily specials (Ribs in sobrasada & honey sauce was a stand out - as was oxtail) & Mogs will have a Pa Amb Oli - always great food and value.
No 31 Bar & Restaurant - It's only been here just over a year but is already a firm favourite (with us & many others!). Excellent food & good value - but you should always have a cocktail here .... in fact, as it can be quite a busy restaurant I'd suggest popping in the night before and booking .... and seeing as you're there you should treat yourself to a cocktail
Hibiscus - This wasn't a must visit every holiday but we'd pop in every 3 or 4 visits however with a few favourites closing this has now been added to our regular list. Evening MDD offers a good selection of dishes at excellent value.
Terrae - Another new(ish) restaurant on what was the site of La Celtika (and previously Mollies). It's completely different yet very similar to La Celtika (you see : it's this sort of oxymoronic contradiction that really shows why I shouldn't be writing!)... the style of food is completely different but the quality of ingredients and inventiveness of cooking & presentation are similar. They offer a tasting menu that is excellent but may be a little expensive.
Plaza Uno - Yet another new(ish) restaurant: seriously good steaks (highly recommend the Japanese cut - i.e. Wagu beef, aged for >35 days and cooked to perfection). Seafood is also great - especially the Tuna Tartare and seafood Frito. Service is great and if you've frequented
La Llonja over the years you'll probably recognise some of the team.
The rest - Los Faroles, Na Ruixa, Bar
Rumbo, Bar Coral. La
Llonja, Bonys (& anywhere else I've forgotted) - are all just as good as ever
