Best 5 Restaurant's in PP 2013

[allanglens]

Top 5 from June 2013

Difficult this time, as for various reasons we didn't get far from the centre, and thus missed out on a few places previously visited. But my top 5 are as follows:

1 - Los Zarzales - even though this was also the most disappointing. But only because when booking I didn't realise that there was a set menu on with (excellent) Flamenco show.
2 - Brisas Marina - although having ordered from the menu del dia on our second visit I can see how the prices are kept down. Good value for money, but not as good as the full menu.
3 - Bar Coral - never disappoints, and my wife loves the tumbet.
4 - Little Italy - quality pizzas.
5 - Osteria 15 - good food and setting. Quite happy with our food, interested to hear two other diners complaining about their food.

Honourable mentions to Joker - lamb chops and the Roquefort sauce; El Castinet; and Ambrosia.

Has to be said however that my wife's favourite place was the Grand Cafe 1912, for the cakes, ice creams, coffees, and setting for people watching.

Yes going to find it really difficult to pick my top 5 this year with only a couple of days left now. So in the interest of research we will be off to O'Lume again tonight. It's a hard life but I suppose it's got to be done.

This has been very difficult as the restaurants this year have been excellent however my top 5 are as follows:-

1/. Celler La Parra - fantastic food and excellent house wine.

2/. Stay - set menu, good food and service.

3/. La Llonja - set menu and a la carte excellent. Nice touch with blankets when cool at night!

4/. O'Lume - great service and lovely food with excellent set menu .

5/. Brisa Marina - lovely restaurant and fabulous lamb chops.

Special mentions to Mirch Massala (great Indian) Il Angelo (great pizza), Siurell (excellent sunday lunch) and El Ancla (paella).

Difficult as we went to a couple a few times
Our top 5
Stay Set menu and service is impeccable

Can Ferra Love their Sole ( and the best chips !) Also very good Paella Very helpful with trying different wines

Tolos !!! Slated them last year but thought we would try again and go early and kept looking at their lovely salads as we went past !! Food was all excellent and good wine but service not good enough to go with the food They shout at each other all the time but glad we tried again

Brisa Marina Just generally good Food Service wine

Los Faroles Very good lamb and chicken

Everywhere very busy and will have to get organised with booking next time

Everywhere very busy and will have to get organised with booking next time

Interesting you should say that. We didn't find any problem walking up to any restaurants over the last two weeks. Admittedly only looking for tables for two, but usually between 7.30 and 8.30.

I thought that the Port was relatively quiet, but did see a big change between the first and second week's in the age profile of the people.

 

[TheColonel]

I agree with Allan Glens all the restaurants have been relatively quiet after 8.30pm with exception Celler de Parrra. (Book in advance).

5 best restaurants

1. Laroc - two meals there and both were excellent. Really well thought out food. Excellent service.
2. Cellar La Parra - never disappoints.
3. Brisas Marinas - excellent.
4. La Lonja - very good
5. Can Ferra - excellent.

Corb Mari , Coral, La Cantina & Marina Cafe for lunch time snacks are excellent and very good value. With the exception of Cellar La Parra the restaurants were not busy and it was not necessary to reserve a table.

2nd. O'Lume - Amazing food & service, Jamies passion & detail are second to none.

3 Centric ... another first time, again lovely food, and free bubble!!
4 Casa Vila .... good food, shame about the bill.
5 Ambrosia ... another new one, very good value and great food, friendly staff.

(also mention for Bellavista for coffee .... still my favourite. The Yatch Club, finally found it and loved it for coffee and lunch. Naciente, never been before but had a lovely relaxed evening meal. Went to Osteria no 15 for the first time, sorry but food not great and service very very slow)

Best 5 restaurants in PP

Just realised we didn't vote for our favourites following our 3 week sojourn in June!! So here goes-

1. Ca'n Josep without a doubt. Great food and the friendliest Restuarant .

2. Stay - great food and setting

3. Hells Kitchen - for food and variety - great value.

4. Tribeca - good food and really good value with their pricing structure.

5. Manduca - never been before June but introduced by a resident and found the locals eat there. Enough said but very nice different reasonably priced food.

Back to PP in a couple of weeks so will have to try them all again and some others!!!

 

[ragdollabbi]
