As previously mentioned, we as family find Casa Isabel as cheap and good as cooking ourselves, so if you fancy a lazy night on the balcony, I thoroughly recommend it. It’s on the left hand side as you drive along Roger De Flor just before you turn up to El Posito. The couple that run it don’t speak much English, so go on, try a bit of castellano spanish whilst your in there, if all else fails, point at the menu or at the large display fridge they have full of food and use you fingers to show how may of each you want. Portions are quite big and having tried many of the dishes I have to say it suits us when we want to laze around with a good book and a bottle of Macia Batle and the kids are tired or fancy a night in.
