Back from 7 nights at P.P. Weather was brilliant,as well as the food. Never had a single complaint this year as the service and food were all spot on. A couple of pleasant surprises this year as we re-visited two restaurants we thought we wouldn't return to again. Just shows,always give somewhere a second chance.
List of places visited.
Tues.30th July: Arrived early afternoon.Heard good reports about C'an Josep so thought we'd try for lunch. Burger and hand cut chips with salad,cheese and ham toastie and salad,Pint of San Miguel and bottled water 17.25 Euro. Lovely location,service and food excellent. A definite for dinner next year.
Tues.Dinner- Trio.
Always our 1st visit and as usual I start with the mussels(best I've tasted)
Starters- Bread,alioli and four crusty rolls. Mussels and mozzarella salad.
Mains- Beef medallions in pepper sauce,baked potato and salad. Sea bream,potatoes and veg.
Desserts- Strawberrys with ice cream and strawberrys in orange juice.
Bottle of Faustino Rioja and bottled water. 36.60 Euro. Great value.
Wed.Lunch- Walked over to Cala San Vicente and had lunch at Marinas on terrace overlooking Don Pedro.
Spanish omelette,salad and basket of crusty bread. Ham and cheese toastie,pint of Fosters,glass of Sangria and bottled water. 14.80 Euro.
This is our favourite stop off before return journey.
Wed.Dinner- Nicos. My personal favourite. The staff are exceptionally pleasant and the food flavours are amazing.

Desserts- Lemon meringue pie and coffee.
2 glasses wine,1pint beer and bottled water. 39.25 Euro
Thurs.Lunch- Tolos. This is a restaurant we vowed not to visit again as a few years ago we had terrible service.Well,I'm glad we did. This time it was the Tolos I remember from the past when it was our daughters' favourite restaurant. Will try dinner next year.
I had a Romano pizza topped with salame,chorizo sausage and black peppers. Wife had mixed salad.
1 pint beer served in lovely fluted glass and bottled water. 20.75Euro.

Tropical pizza,Brownie with ice cream,2 pints beer,1glass rose and bottled water. 26.25 Euro
Friday Dinner- O'Lume. Another restaurant we tried again,after reading good reviews. A few years ago we visited old restaurant,before he moved.
The service and food were excellent but there was a total lack of atmosphere. We were the only customers in all night.
What a transformation. Lovely courtyard setting,soft music in the background,flowers all around and grapes hanging from above.
It was also quite busy and had a great atmosphere.This is definitely our choice for anniversary dinner next year.The owner and young lady
serving were very attentive and had a lovely manner. I had to persuade my wife to try again but it's now her favourite restaurant.
Starters- Smoked salmon canapes with bread.
Mains- Steak,roast potatoes and veg. Sea bass in martini sauce,potatoes and veg.
2 coffees,chocolates,2 glass wine and bottled water. Brandy and baileys. 42.50 Euro.

Sunday Dinner- Celler La Parra. We always sit inside as the decor is lovely.The entrance is spectacular,like walking into a wine barrel.
Usually always had paella when daughters were with us. Thought we'd try something different this time. Surprisingly I've never tried tumbet before so
thought I'd give it a go. From now on this is my 1st choice for starter.
Starters- Tumbet(haven't tried anywhere else but this would be hard to beat) Asparagus salad,bread and olives.
Mains- Liver,Mallorcan style,chips and salad. Stuffed aubergines. Anyone who likes liver has to try this.It had the most delicious sauce.
The portion was massive so probably best not having a starter.
Bottle of house wine and bottled water. 34.60 Euro.
Mon. Lunch- Just had snack on balcony today.
Mon.Dinner- Nicos. Persuaded wife to return to my favourite restaurant for final evening.
Starters- Chile con carne with nachos. Mixed salad.
Mains- Beef with pepper sauce,potatoes and the delicious chargrilled veg. Barbequed ribs,chips and veg.
Desserts- Lemon meringue pie and coffee.
2 glasses wine,1 pint beer,bottled water and complimentary pina colada. 39.25 Euro.
So now we're back home looking out at the rain and dreaming of next year's holiday. Planning for 10 days next time.

It's interesting how you can change your opinion when you give somewhere a second chance. We once walked out of Tolos as we had waited 20 minutes without even a drink - but may try again on your recommendation. And totally agree on Trio - never fails in either quality, price or friendliness - seems like the same staff have been there forever! And will try Marinas in CSV definitely - I think we have had morning coffee there a couple of times but will try lunch in October - we are there for 3 weeks so will have plenty of time to try lots of places. Getting a bit giddy now
