Embat

[Enjay]

We are returning after a few years necessary absence.
Is Embat open this season?
How about Seabar IS too?

 

[Gommar Goffer]

Both open

Both open

Thank you, very much GG.
We are hoping nothing much has changed from our last visit.

Having been away for 6 years I have been a little disappointed to see so many restaurants that appear to have reduced the selections on their menus. Am I wrong, but there seems to be a move towards pizzas, burgers and pastas.
Ian in Liberty Kitchen seems to be maintaining standards.

Interesting. I cant speak for the port but in Pollenca town I can see what you mean. We lost 1 pizzeria (La Sasteria??) after covid and gain more recently Capitol. Capitol is a spin off of Trencadora and I cant blame them for wanting a town centre location (their old site is beautiful but you need to go find it).

The burgers and meat trend is the really interesting one which I think is caused by the issue of declining living conditions in South America leading to economic migration.

Trocadero is Argentinian,
Entre Pisco y Nazca is Peruvian
Urban Bites... cant remember... Chilean??
and there are staff at other restaurants we go to who are Columbian

I agree. Grilled Sole was a staple in nearly all restaurants - hardly anywhere offers it now

Not quite. We just talk to people. It was a quiet night last october and we'd walked round to Trocadero (we live just round the corner). The owner and his son (and occasionally his niece) run the place and we were just chatting. He showed us photos of the original Trocadero resort in Argentina. It was a large site with a pool and a restaurant. They said it just wasn't safe to stay there. Crime got so bad they were afraid to go out. They basically sold up and left.
