Re: Pollockshieldgirl,

I cannot rate this place highly enough.Try the bacon and chicken salad for a starter,the bacon strips are delicious!!!the best bacon i have EVER tasted and also the portions for a starter was like a main course.The fried milk is lovely as well for a sweet choice

There's a thread about O Lume's location just a bit further down the page...

My friend and I had another fantastic meal in O Lume on Saturday night and I'm very pleased to report that the restaurant was really busy. Five other tables were occupied when we arrived at 9 and by 10pm groups of 3, 5 and 7 locals had arrived and the place was positively buzzing.

We had the chicken breast and t bone steak which were delicious - I struggled to finish the small steak - followed by ice cream and the much recommended fried milk. Mmmmm. Coffee, chocolates and liquers plus a lovely bottle of vino rosado and the total bill came to 43 euro's. Definitely the cheapest meal of our lovely long weekend and without doubt the best.

Just back from a week in PP...at long last got around to visiting O Lume last Tuesday.I was surprised at how busy it was.
We had the grilled vegetables to start - delicious.We all ordered the t -bone steaks which I have to say were a disappointment -I think we were just unlucky.A very good bottle of melot and very reasonably priced too.we finished with coffees and the chocolates were a lovely surprise.The service and attention to detail was superb.We will definately go back next year.

We were in the restaurant the Wednesday before CB, and had the same experience with the T Bone Steak.They were really disappointing, as was the soup starter. The Restaurant had but two empty tables and was busier than I have seen. I wonder if this explains things!

 

[CathB]

Yes I was surprised how busy it was compared to what the previous posts had implied..A waiter came rushing in after we had been there a little while - it was as if reinforcements had been called for - Funny thing hubby was also disappointed in his soup so not a good meal all round for him.He thinks he should have stayed with his frst choice - fish..
Still it has not put us off and we will definately give it another go next year.

We were also pleasantly surprised at how busy O Lume was when we went there last Friday...it was practically buzzing! We had a super meal apart from my lamb chops..so salty :eek

I have noticed this on previous visits to O lume and also my favourite Los Zarzales..parts of the meal (usually the meat or fish) are spoilt because they have put too much salt in everything. Surely it would be better to let people put their own salt on at the table. Apart from the health aspect I really hate the taste :rolleyes I wonder if it's a Mallorquin way of cooking..possibly to replace salt lost through sweating ??!!

I went for the very first time last week and enjoyed the best steak i have ever eaten !

It was rather busy and jamie was going around from table to table with a sense of pride .

When we move next year i fully intend to have my birthday meal there with my family and a few freinds. I will be dreaming about that steak untill then:lol

I totally agree with the best steak. The T bone (off the bone) was superb and I had the half portion which was huge.

Infact I had two fantastic meals in O'lume last week. my eldest daughter, her boyfriend, Robjay and I had wine, beer, water, after dinner drinks one set menu and three a la carte with starters and still served with an appertiser and those delicious hand made chocolates. The bill ? 82 euros.

I just had to return the following night for the steak.

The service as ever was second to none. Jaime was as friendly and professional as ever and we really enjoyed a long chat with him. I was very envious of the present he gave Rob too. lol.

Was having a sad wee moment to myself. I was thinking of our last visit to O'Lume.
This place really is that good! In fact Pops I'm sure I heard you say to Jaime that your steak was the best you've had in PP!
As for the second nights meal. Can this place get better every time you visit?
This place isn't really as "good" as everybody claims it is!
Good doesn't even begin to describe the place! Everthing everybody has said about Jaime and his resturant has been played down!
Your a fool if you haven't tried O'Lume.
I for one look forward to the day I'm turned away at the door because I didn't book a table in advance.
Jaime my hopes and prayers are that 2008 is record breaking year for you, you deserve it!
Pops why on earth did my doggie bag bother you? We both enjoyed it Mmmmmmmmmmmm
Until my next visit stay safe.

What a sad reply Snowy

 

[millyjack]

Hi, reading all these rave reviews, where is O Lume?

 

[patc]

O lume

I keep telling myself I should try this place, but every time I look in it never seems busy.

 

[debz1]

Re: O lume

Patc in my opinion the place has no atmosphere and that puts people off!

A certain forum members wife put it perfectly when she told me she called it O Gloom :lol I couldn't agree more

Re: O lume

I have posted several times on O Lume, and if you've read them, you'll know what I think. Yes, it is often quiet in there, but I guarantee you if you go on a winters evening a sit either by the roaring fire, or in a snug corner, you'll have a gastronomic treat.
Jaime, if you're reading this, and I know you do, see you in Feb

Re: O lume

If you think O'Lume's quiet you've never eaten when the Glass Boys are there. You'll be wishing it was quiet after that!

I just dragged number 3 to (another) swimming lesson and what does he talk about out of the blue to cheer himself up - the lambchops at O'Lume.

"Why can't we go there more often mum?" he whines longingly. "Why don't we buy a house in Spain."

Never mind his lamb chops, think of the best T bones in the world, the delicious salads, try the seafood or the prawn and bacon - divine, the seafood pasta - gorgeous , the chocolate ice-cream, the lovely bread with flavoured butter, the wine.

Dreaming of O'Lume on a cold Glesga night!

Re: O lume

Well I'm so glad it's not just me pouring all this much earned praise on Jaime and O'Lume.
It's not always quiet to quote a fellow member "We were also pleasantly surprised at how busy O Lume was when we went there last Friday...it was practically buzzing!" that doesn't sound like O'Gloom to me:lol . Like a lot of places all over Spain try going around 22:00, We have and it's been packed with locals.
Do what we do take along your friends and family and create your own party lol
Lizglass my 3 daughters rave to all their friends about the great meals and fun times the've had @ O'Lume.

Take care
