Cadiz
Cádiz is an ancient port city in the Andalucia region of southwestern Spain. The home of the Spanish Navy, the port boomed in the 16th-century as a base for exploration and trade. It has more than 100 watchtowers, including the iconic Torre Tavira, which was traditionally used for spotting ships. On the waterfront is the domed, 18th-century Cádiz Cathedral, featuring baroque and neoclassical elements.

Torre Tavira is a historic observation tower in Cadiz, dating back to the 18th century. It offers stunning panoramic views of the city and the sea, making it a must-visit for photography enthusiasts. The tower features a camera obscura on its top floor, projecting real-time images of the surroundings onto a white screen. Visitors can also explore two exhibition halls within the tower.
It's part of the Camera Obscura, which unfortunately we couldn't visit as it was fully booked. The narrow climb up the tower was well worth it for the views . Lots of information on the walls as you climb.

Marta was a great tour guide. She explained everything to our group and had a playful sense of humor.
The views of Cadiz and beyond were amazing. The staircase is a workout but the views are well worth it.
Fantastic view of Cadiz
This was a great place to come to and climb a few steps to see the view of the town. It was not that expensive and really worth it!
Highly recommended!
Very interesting presentation, with stunning view to the city from the top of the tower.
Good thing that it was not crowded at all.
8€ entrance is ok price
Camera obscura presentation is very interesting and I would like to thank the lady for her presentation and explanation of the city.
It's a different and interesting view of seight seeing
Terrific views, well worth a visit as is the city of Cadiz. Book in advance if you want to see the camera obscurer, or pay a little less to access the top and enjoy the views.
Thank you Pablo for an excellent demonstration of the camera obscura. Very entertaining.
Brace yourself for the steps and be prepared for fantastic views.
We booked an English tour online. You reserve your place and pay on the day. The camera obscura was better than expected and the views from the top were excellent. Little museum rooms en route were interesting too.
Not a whole lot to see here, better views from the cathedral tower for the same price. Overall it’s a good place to learn about the different towers and their history an usage within the city. Camera obscura is neat.

Beach
Outdoor Activities
La Caleta is one of the four beaches in Cadiz, but it stands out as the smallest and most popular due to its location next to the old town and between two castles. It gained pop-culture significance as a filming location for a scene in Die Another Day. Visitors can relax on its golden shores, visit the iconic Spa of Lady of Palma, and enjoy beach bars.
A nice place to hang out at during a day trip to Cádiz even in late December! Kids run around with gusto, collecting seashells and pebbles

Pier has seen better days but it is a great little traditional beach. Nice for family's and news agents near by for drinks. Sand isn't the dreamy white stuff you see in pictures and almost feels a bit British.
Great beach in the center of Cadiz. Enjoying our stay here today.
Located in beautiful Cádiz, it is an idyllic spot. The beaches, good food and rich history. Definitely plan on returning!
Cádiz, La Caleta is a beach located in the historical center of the city of Cádiz. It is a natural harbor by which Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans penetrated historically. main attraction is its location, a scene that has inspired musicians and poets like: Isaac Albéniz, José Maria Pemán, Paco Alba, and Carlos Cano. It has been pictured in several films, such as 007: Die Another Day, Alatriste, and Manolete.
Not sure how typical it is there, but during our 2 days in Cadiz, water in La Caleta was very turbid (likely due to heavy rain in Andalucia couple days before our arrival). Also loads of seaweed😬 You find much better conditions on the south side of the walkway to the fortress. It has access to open Atlantic and water there is much clearer, but swimming conditions are harder due to higher waves. If you just want to play on the sand - it's a place for you, although we visited pre season and I can see it getting very crowded. Big parkings are available nearby, but be prepared for them to be full or if you get lucky, to dig deep into your pockets - 15€/day seems to be cheap in Cadiz😬
Great beach. The water is calm but cold. There are toilets and showers.
Usually a lot of people, but overall fine

Market
Mercado Central de Abastos de Cádiz is a bustling market offering a variety of goods, including produce, meat, fish, and household items. It is one of the oldest covered markets in Spain and is known for its seafood selection, featuring clams, winkles, mantis shrimps, murex, razor shells, moray eel and tuna. The market also houses a snail stall with live snails.
A huge indoor fish market , which is just great to wander through . Made me wish I was self catering because the fish and seafood was all super fresh and really good value too ! The market has meat and cheese stalls , along with a few others , which circle the outside . There are a few bars and cafes down at the bottom end , but be ready to speak Spanish ! Try your best , they appreciate it !
Great place to explore .

#1 groceries and fishing
The different market stalls offer a wide variety of groceries, bakery products and fish.
All products, especially the fish tho, are lined up carefully to pose for the endless camera lenses pointed at them.
#2 architecture
This represents the perfect harmony of old and modern market place architecture. The long extended straight roofs form a sort of hall way for the customer to wait in the shade.
I've never seen such large selection of very fresh fish and seafood anywhere else in Europe. Obviously they sell fresh vegetables, fruits, meat and sausages as well. It's a fantastic market.
This one is not as good as the one in Madrid or Barcelona, However it still has many choices for seafood. We enjoyed the deep fried shrimps and little fishes for our afternoon snack. Very fresh and tasty. Excellent.
Nice local fish built in 1838. A lot of food stalls for food and drink. Good to go for lunch. The market opens 9am-3.30pm. Some food stalls stay open for dinner, but a lot less choices.
Perfect place to have a drink and a lot of choices to eat. You can even actually buy a fresh seafood at the market in the morning and they will send it upstairs to a restaurant where they'll prepared it for you at lunch time.
Also they open at night and it's awesome! Cool ambiance, a lot more people, be aware! Not enough sitting but that's the enchanted of the place. After all you are at what it use to be an old roman garden. Or so I was told.
Fantastic selection of fresh seafood! We had a great experience with tuna sashimi grade, good price and rich taste
A taste of many regions of Spain in one place! Loved it here, so much to try including local charcuterie and montaditas and various Jerez sherries. That was my choice and did not disappoint.

Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Located in Cadiz, Spain, Castillo de San Sebastian is a former island fortress that has been transformed into a hub for historical exhibits, concerts, and cultural events. The castle offers stunning views of the Atlantic and La Caleta beach. Visitors can take a leisurely stroll along the coast to reach Santa Catalina Castle, the oldest fortress in Cadiz.
Great place to see Cadiz from a distance. No tickets needed. Due to its nature, I recommend checking tide times as it's a lot more attractive to visit during high tide😉 Ideal spot to watch the Atlantic during storms 👌🏻 We've been lucky on this front and saw it in very windy days🌊🌊👌🏻 It was interesting to observe huge difference in conditions between south and north side of the walkway. Could be difficult to make it all the way in and out without getting wet, so be prepared for a challenge during high tide on windy days😉

A really cool place to visit. The views are spectacular and it’s amazing to see the history and style of the buildings. Free entry as well!
A unique walk out along a causeway to the sparse remains of the castle. There are terrific views back to Cadiz old town and along the coast in both directions.
The site itself is maintained but very bare and there is no information on what must be an extremely historic site.
Another great spot to walk around, enjoy the view, but nearly no information other than a couple of very general information posters. But this seems like a locals spot to relax around, especially the narrow path to get to it. Small sand bars and kids jumping off the bridge into the water.
We had a great family walk to Castillo de San Sebastian with 3 dogs. Comfortable weather and temperaturen, slightly windy on a summer day. Highly recommended.
A decent boardwalk from the beach leading to the "castle", although mostly ruins with a platform circling the waters edge. All the same a very pleasant walk and great views back to the city and beach especially in the glorious weather we had.
You can walk the grounds and go to the top for amazing views but you can't enter any of the buildings. I would've like a guided tour and seen the inside. Wear comfortable shoes!
The Castillo de San Sebastian (1706) occupies a tiny island off Playa de La Caleta at the westernmost point of Cádiz, Spain. Its artillery was intended to protect the city from hostile ships approaching from the west. The castle is largely abandoned but still accessible to the public. The entrance is always open, inviting the curious to come in. It's on a small island off Playa de La Caleta, accessible via Paseo Fernando Quiñones. It's an interesting one-kilometer walk.

Museum
Archaeological museum
The Cadiz Museum is a combination of an old Franciscan convent and a modern building, housing an impressive 17th-century Spanish collection. The museum's history dates back to 1000 BC, making it one of Europe's oldest continuously inhabited cities. It has been occupied by various civilizations including the Phoenicians, Romans, and Arabs. The museum boasts a rich archaeological collection with artifacts from these ancient cultures.
Entrance is free for EU residents, including temporary residence permit cards.
Although the description is mostly in English, a google lens app works just fine.
Recommended to go check out the prehistoric collection of Cádiz.

Picture this: you’re standing in the heart of Cádiz’s old town, surrounded by history, and you step into a time machine disguised as a museum. The Cádiz Museum blew me away with its treasures, from eerie Phoenician sarcophagi to vibrant Baroque paintings by Zurbarán. The ground floor’s archaeology section is like a journey back to 1100 BC, with artifacts that whisper tales of ancient Cádiz as a bustling Phoenician hub. Did you know the male sarcophagus found in 1887 sparked the creation of this very museum? For just €1.50 (free for EU citizens with ID), you get access to this cultural goldmine on Plaza de Mina. Pro tip: bring a translation app, as some signs are Spanish-only. Also, check the website for current hours, as renovations might limit access to some floors. Don’t rush—give yourself at least an hour to soak it all in! What’s your favorite artifact here?
Interesting collection of sculptures and artifacts from Roman and era before. It would have been also interesting if museum could include the history of transatlantic slavery aswell.
Great experience. We went to the Hercules shop in town and bought a beautiful ring moulded from an original Roman ring. We were told that we could see the original in the museum. It’s free entry which was unusual for us! And the exhibits were gorgeous, particularly the display of jewellery and pottery.
Although the place is undergoing extensive refurbishment due to filtration & humidity, the ground floor & third floor are partially open. Ground floor exhibits some Phoenician artefacts; Roman except the big marble sculptures & some objects from the time of the Caliphates in Andalusia. None of the great Spanish masters are exposed. The third floor has a nice collection of XIX century puppets, from a famous theatre.
Two 5th century BC Phoenician marble sarcophagi currently in the Museo de Cádiz in Cádiz, Spain, are thought to have originated in Sidon, Lebanon. A famous set of "Tia Norica" puppet skits, once used during the annual carnival of Cádiz, Spain, are ALSO exhibited in the museum. In one example the bull is getting the better of the bullfighter. Puppet shows are popular in Cádiz around Christmas.
Free Roman archaeological exhibit, good way to kill the 20-30 minutes. Small exhibit.
Surprised at how extensive the exhibits were. Some signs in English.. but you have signal in half the building to use Google translate. Interesting story of the two stone sarcophagus.. on man one woman but (spoiler alert !)... both with a man interned into them... what's the story there ?. Sadly the fine art on the 2nd floor is being renovated . But I thought the 1.5 euro entrance was well worth it just for the ground floor... we are museum junkies so spent probably 3.5 hours reading everything... but leave yourself an hour and you could get through and still have time for tapas close by.. enjoy.

Restaurant
Nestled just outside the historic center of Cádiz, Restaurante El Faro de Cádiz has been a beloved culinary gem for over three decades, thanks to the dedication of chef Fernando Cordoba and his wife Ana Isabel Puerto. Housed in a charming old manor surrounded by lush gardens that feature their own herb and vegetable garden, this restaurant beautifully blends modern aesthetics with traditional charm.
Our night at this restaurant was absolutely unforgettable. The service was excellent, warm, and made us feel right at home from the very beginning. One of the highlights of the evening was the Chirigotas show, which had us laughing non-stop. It was a brilliant and lively performance that made the atmosphere even more special.
The food was equally impressive. The fish baked in salt was cooked to perfection, the wine selection was fantastic, and the dessert was the perfect sweet ending to an incredible night.
Without a doubt, I would return to Cádiz just to experience this place again. It is truly a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy amazing food, great entertainment, and a night to remember.

Stunning dishes! A must to order the Tortilla de Camarones, Gilda de atún and Langostinos with chickpeas. Service was impeccable and if you are sitting at the bar, make yourself a favour and walk along the restaurant to see the decoration, truly special! A must in Cadiz!
Overall almost excellent experience! The food was great. The highlights were tuna adobo, sponge cake, marinated clams. Miguel was very friendly and helpful. We recommend it overall, but we don’t give 5 stars bcoz the shrimps were not cleaned as expected. (We expected at least the head of the shrimp to be removed but it seems to be a common practice in Spain to serve the whole shrimp).
Just a few meters from San Sabastian fort is this restaurant best to enjoy the sunset and then head for dinner, reservation required if you will be late, place has history and has some wines that were not available anywhere in Cadiz , we had a great time here alot of local and many British expats too
An amazing Cadiz style lunch at El Faro. The food was simple, but amazing. The shrimp pancakes were so delightful. The crusty bread, the potato salad, the fish....all amazing.
I can’t fault this place for service or food, both impeccable. But atmosphere, there was none. The staff are very professional and helpful, especially with my food allergies. Their menu is clearly defined for allergens and the staff are also knowledgeable about the food they serve. I was able to eat my favourite rabo de toro for the first time in years because here, unlike any other restaurant where I’ve enquired, they don’t coat the meat in flour before it is sealed, so that was a rare treat. The salmorejo is also gluten free. Reasonably priced considering standard, quality and location. I would return.
I felt privileged to eat the spectacular food they produce in this restaurant. We had sea urchin, prepared in a way we are not accustomed to. Usually, I have eaten it fresh on sushi or tossed with pasta. This delicate presentation was a delight! Pâté de cabracho, tortilla de camarones, albondiguitas de marisco, almejas con espinacas, navajas, tocino! The waiter stopped us before we could overdo it. But we can’t have these lovely things back home!😢and they took care of calling a taxi. Personal muy simpático y profesional. Do book in advance. It’s not difficult to get a reservation. Better reserve than turn up with no table!
For one of the better presentations of Gaditano cuisine, this is a good choice. We are in the more casual area, the formal dining room looked elegant and with a larger selection so if we went back I would try that. For the type of food and service offered in the more casual side, I feel that Casa Lazo is a much better choice.

Bar
Taberna Casa Manteca is a lively tapas bar in Cadiz, known for its meat and seafood small plates, as well as a selection of beer and wine. The walls are adorned with classic bull-fighting posters and sepia images of matadors in their traditional attire. Visitors can enjoy the convivial atmosphere while sampling white anchovies and other delicious tapas.
Ignore the BS review recently shown by a so called local guide. You will notice that every other review is excellent ! This place was highly recommended by English and Spanish alike and when Spaniards wait to get in a place you know it is good, they don’t like waiting ! Been here twice in two days. Didn’t disappoint. Husband said the tortillitas camarones they’re famous for were best he’d ever had. Sadly they’re not gluten free but there are loads of gluten free options on the menu which is clearly labelled for allergens and the staff are allergen aware. The chicharrones were heavenly as was the carne al horno. Boquerones en vinagre, morcilla de hígado (white pudding), jamón bellota (best jamón there is) grilled marrajo fish in garlic and parsley oil, and patatas aliñadas were some of the absolutely delicious gluten free/lactose free/egg free options all naturally free from those three allergens and of course there is plenty of traditional fried fish (not gluten free) which all looks delicious. All you have to do is put your name on the list and wait then enjoy the atmosphere. Staff are great, so friendly and helpful, even offered to take my hubby to watch the tortillitas being made as he ordered so many. Not the cheapest place to eat but worth every penny. Top quality traditional Spanish food.

My wife and I absolutely loved this place -- simply dripping with traditional Spanish culture. Yes, it's touristy and crowded. But it's filled with locals, and worth the wait! We could not get in for dinner (we did not line up early enough), but found it fairly easy to get in for lunch the next day. The tortillitas de camarones were exquisite, but so was the salmorejo -- which is served cold, and looks a lot like gazpacho. We did not know much about sherry, but asked for a semi-sweet sherry, and were happy to be served a glass of Canasta Cream sherry. (Quite a bit like Porto wine). The prices are very fair. Taberna Casa Manteca is a real gem. !Muchas gracias!
Very delicious, only very hot - you can sit outside only (33 degrees in June), lots of people, noise and the waiters tired too. And you have to wait.
The meal was delicious, especially tartita de camarones, salmorejo con helado.
Mojama de atun had lot of salt for my taste.
Fried fish was ok.
Potato salads (both) were delicious, only it came too late, after all the food, after we asked again.
Croquetas de jamon y camarones were very delicious.
A guide from Cadifornia recomended us the place.
Overall, my recomendations!
A brilliant place, after seeing a couple of photos exactly what you would expect. Friendly staff, busy with a great buzz. Amazing quality food. If you’re a sherry lover this is a must visit!
We walked 1.6 km under scorching sun to reach this restaurant and it didn’t disappoint. We ordered one portion of the prawn omelette, a marinated yellowtail tuna and squid. The food was so amazing that we ordered another two portions of prawn omelette 🤭. Love it, 🥰
Very dificult with the language 🙈 Stuff doesn't clearly understood in english our orders. We had to use the pen and litteraly to point them by finger what we would like to order from thair's menus. Still, we did not get what we've ordered. Over all, one dish was missed and "El tuna" was overcooked and dry. Best choice for us was - fried squids.
I should not write this opinion as they have enough customers and is really crowded but food is perfect and quickly delivered and most importantly it is very tasty, I have eaten various specialties from menu and will not stop and leave the place if not receiving phone call from my wife (it was so good), service staff was perfect organized like orchestra and supporting the customers, wine , cherry and beer was good, atmosphere of place I loved, what you need more to be happy
When success comes and gets unchallenged, the management & staff get relax and uncaring. After my 3rd attempt to eat- expect long, very long queues to get seated- I finally managed to have “the epic Manteca experience”. Honestly, this place is highly over rated & the waiters are unhelpful, unkind & obnoxious. For me, the eating experience goes beyond the food quality, also encompassing the swift, helpful & caring interaction with the serving staff. Regarding food quality, the only, truly remarkable dish was “tortillas de camarón”, all the rest of tapa options was pretty much the same quality you can find elsewhere , and perhaps cheaper too!
Most non-Spanish speaking tourists may not notice this nuances, but I speak Spanish and there many things that are easily spotted…save your time queuing & spend your money elsewhere.

Located just a block north of Plaza de la Candelaria in Cadiz, La Candela is a vibrant tapas bar that offers a fusion of global influences and Andalusian ingredients. The menu features inventive dishes such as baked salmorejo with pork loin tartare, melt-in-the-mouth bao candela, and sea bass ceviche with tiger's milk and mango.
Excellent fusion of Spanish and Asian cuisine at remarkable prices for this standard. Great choice of wines, service impeccable, we sat outside in the terrace. An absolute must if you visit Cadiz

Flavour, flavour, flavour. Wonderful place with creative dishes that showcase local ingredients in innovative and exciting ways without going too far. Staff are unbelievably hard working and attentive. Book in advance or take a chance and sit at the bar. A wonderful experience wherever you end up.
The best tapas I tried in Cádiz. Very tasty food, I tried the octopus and salmon teriyaki... it was so delicious, the cheesecake was also very good. We were lucky to get a table without a reservation, but a few minutes later the place was full, so I think it's best to make a reservation.
Cosy tapas bar hidden away on a side street. Some of the best food we had in Cádiz, loved the prawn taco, salmon maki and the Patatas! Would definitely return if back in this part of the world. Our waiter was also very friendly.
Oh whoa it was the tastiest food we have eaten on our trip and we ate at a Michelin star restaurant, one of the nights. It was so fresh and well presented, we were accommodated without reservations but that was a Monday night! Would highly recommend
The best food I’ve had for a long time. The croquettes are the best I have ever had.
The aubergine salad was delicious.
The chips with tomato sauce were probably the tastiest fries I’ve ever had.
All with two beers for less than 25€.
Stunning.
10/10 isn’t enough.
Another incredible experience for my last night in Cadiz! I so enjoyed the food hear, the fusion between Asian and Spanish was absolutely perfect!
This was only round the corner from my hostel and was an absolute gem!
I sat on the little terrace bit, and because I took so long enjoying the food I had to be moved to a different table for the desert.
Amazing flavours! Would absolutely reccomend the Vietnamese roll. A taste sensation! Thank you!
The food was fine (quite average) but be careful with the specials as they took the opportunity to rip us off and charged 6x what the rest of the dishes on the menu cost. So disappointing and we left feeling absolutely conned.
I understand that a special dish might cost more (maybe two or three times a normal dish on the menu) but when it’s on a different planet to the normal price range, it leaves a very nasty taste in your mouth.
€68 just for crab and fries, plus the other dishes and drinks.
I would avoid this place.

Stood at the counter as a single diner and didn't want to take up a table for one person. Got a few Canjas , tortalitta de Camerones and Choco Fritos(cuttlefish) . Loved standing at the bar talked to my neighbors and food was perfecto! Fast service and staff was great!

Amazing restaurant with a lot of fresh, fried fish, shrimp and squid dishes. My favourite was the fried fish pancake’s called Tortillitas de Camarones. Fast service and great atmosphere.
We went to this place following recommendations from Google and Lonely Planet. We had to wait for a table but weren't disappointed.
We were lucky to sit outside, but there's a great buzz inside too.
The food was great and service friendly.
The salad of shrimp and octopus was really refreshing.
You know this is a real deal as the majority of visitants are local rather than tourist. There are some rules of thumb that simply work well. This place always has a tail of customers waiting, or you can feel the joy of people with the dishes and drinks. If you are looking for sea food / tapas / or a place to earn the experience of the South food, this is the right place. Great location with indoor or terrace restaurant, amazing service and obviously the great diversity of fish & sea food that has a quality well over the price. Amazing falls short so go and repeat
Affordable and delicious seafood. Every tourist must visit. Just buy a 1 kg mix plate seen in the photo and be happy. Tested personally during my Cadiz visit.
The best fresh seafood you will get for the best price. I highly recommand.. it was so good i went there 2 times!
Great value for money. Paella was our favourite. The only downside could be the presence of pigeons outside and a few inside, which might feel a bit uncomfortable. Service was fast and polite, and they patiently served us until the very last minute before closing. Thank you!
Fantastic deep fried fish and seafood. There would be a long queue at lunchtime but we'll worth thr wait.

Restaurant
Restaurante Café Royalty in Cádiz offers a refined dining experience in a grand salon that dates back to 1912. The recently restored rococo-style restaurant serves up four courses of Andalusian cuisine, featuring dishes made with local produce. This historic establishment was once frequented by intellectuals, artists, and politicians before it closed during the Spanish Civil War. The café exudes an old-world charm and is also a great spot for tea or coffee accompanied by delectable cakes.
From the moment we entered the restaurant, the level of service was exceptional. Our server demonstrated a high degree of attentiveness and expertise, providing insightful recommendations that enhanced our dining experience. The culinary offerings were remarkable; the tapas were expertly crafted and aesthetically pleasing. The ambiance was welcoming and conducive to family gatherings, contributing to an overall memorable evening. I wholeheartedly endorse this restaurant for anyone seeking an exquisite dining experience.This is our third visit, and one of our favorites tapas place so far!!!

Visited here today on my day trip to Cádiz. Lovely period Restuant. The service was good, however possibly a touch slow and the food was nice, however very, very small portions. We just had soup and two peppermint teas. I think this place would be lovely for an evening meal. Cost, soup £12.50 and peppermint tea £7.50 per person. That all said, I would still return.
We stumbled upon this place and had a fabulous tapas menu here. The service was perfect and the food excellent we couldn’t fault the quality. I gave 4 for atmosphere but that was only because we ate early and were the only diners in the cafe section. Highly recommend.
Everything about this restaurant is 10/10. The interior is truly magical, the staff are really friendly and attentive, and all the items on the menu that we ordered were really tasty, including the desserts. I personally ordered a steak and it was truly one of the best I’ve had. I 100% recommend going here for lunch.
Once again Cadiz delivers above and beyond.
This is a beautiful restaurant with decor which is a reminder of a different age.
I chose the set Tapas menu and it was gorgeous. The croquettes were amazing and full of flavour and melted in my mouth. The omelettes were so different to what I would normally consider that dish to be but they were super tasty. The fish was superb and the desert, again something I have never tried, was so, so good.
The service was quick and efficient along with lovely smiles.
The price was perfectly OK for the quality of the food and overall experience.
I'm going to use this space to say how wonderful Cadiz has been. Every day has provided a memory to treasure and an experience to remember. The people are lovely and friendly. I am so sad to be going home but I will definitely return soon.
Oh, and here's a ❤️ right back at you, thanks for the coffee.
The decor is fabulous, which is what attracted us. The restaurant menu looked great, so in we went for dinner. The wait staff though, seemed they did not want to be there. One in particular was most sour faced and displeased.
We ordered the seafood paella for two, which was €120. We were expecting something amazing for this price and we were happy to pay thinking it would be worth it. However, it was far from worth the cost. It amounted to one prawn each and the tiniest lobster tail ever. It was no bigger than the prawn. The paella was overly salty and after the waitress served it up, she headed back to the kitchen with quite a lot of the rice left in the serving dish. We thought she might return and top us up with the rest of the dish that we were paying a fortune for, but she did not. We felt hugely ripped off!
It was a great place to visit, had the special royalty pancakes which were great, banana , blueberries and chocolate is a must try.
Services was first class
The decor inside is lavish with beautiful artwork on the ceiling. I felt like I was reliving the past from years ago.
We were given 2 thick slices of bread with olive oil to dip our bread. Another plate of a mini portion of salad, with salmon pate and mini croutons followed before our appetizers.
If you’re an out-of-town guest, make your reservations early. They seat you only at the time of your reservation. I am not sure why I was asked to make reservations even though we were the only people & 2 others who dined here.
Food: 4/5 - we all ordered appetizers. The most interesting food was the small shrimp omelette that threw us off. See the photo. It was tasty though.
Service: 4/5 - the food was brought out in a timely manner. Our server was average.
Atmosphere: 5/5 - the place had a great feel to it.
