Había algunos clientes en el bar, pero por lo demás, la familia y el personal estaban comiendo su almuerzo/cena cuando entramos. A pesar de que estaban tomando su descanso, la madre y las 2 hijas nos atendieron inmediatamente después de hacer su mejor esfuerzo por comprender y explicarnos el menú y lo que queríamos (¡una comida catalana!), lo que resultó en que recibimos gazpacho, una ensalada catalana con anchoas, pan tostado con una gran variedad de jamones españoles ¡y un montón de postres! Y todo esto costó, para 4 personas, 15 euros cada uno como parte del 'menú'. Prácticamente nos dieron total libertad y a pesar de pedir más pan (que estaba tan deliciosamente tostado con tomate y aceite de oliva unas 4 veces, así como algunos de los jamones, el precio seguía siendo de 15 euros por persona. Durante el postre, simplemente nos dijeron que tomáramos lo que quisiéramos, así que tomamos un trozo de cada pastel y pudín que estaban sirviendo, alrededor de 8 en total. Y todo por esos mismos 15 euros cada uno. Todo incluido. El bar de almuerzo en sí tiene una vibra muy cool y es muy cómodo para relajarse (y además incluye wifi gratis). El baño también es muy bonito, con una vibra playera en el lavabo con conchas en el fregadero. En general, con una comida y servicio tan excelente y por un precio bastante modesto considerando la cantidad que nos sirvieron en 10 minutos, este lugar es sorprendentemente brillante. Fácilmente 5 estrellas.

We were soon served after a little waiting and sat outside on the terrace which is lovely : we ordered 1 antipasti (Insalata di mare and a main each (Pizza vegetariana, Mussels, Spaghetti vongole cozze, Grilled mix of fish . All the food was delicious (why the high rating and the service was great but the food took a good while to come and came at different times (the longest to come was the pasta which took 45 minutes . If you're not concerned about timing though, this place is great especially for the price of all the great food. Our bill came at 66 euros for all food plus 2 house wines a fantastic deal and certainly the cheapest we've come across in Balestrate.

We wanted to sit outside however some chain smokers (literally did not stop in the whole hour we were there kept us from doing that (either way, with an open front door, their smoke came in nonetheless . We were the first diners to dine inside so the choice was ours for tables but really, as a party of three, it left us underneath the television playing football quite the ambiance! Fortunately for us, as tennis lovers, they gave us the liberty to change the channel if we found the one we wanted (they tried but quit soon after all the found within 3 channels of football was rugby so now we had eurosport live on playing the French open, a nice benefit for us. We were given our menus straightaway and as there was no plato do dia (meal of the day , we were to choose a meal from over 100 meals which were all pictured (AND in our language, their menu caters for several languages: Portuguese; English; French and Spanish . We eventually asked the waiter to give us some ideas of good meals and we settled on the dorade, pork with clams, and grilled cod between 3 women (mother, 2 daughters . Our meals arrived within 15 minutes (timed but whilst waiting, there was no aperitif or anything! Not even bread that we could pay for! Ten minutes in, we asked them for bread, so they literally gave that to us with no butter or cheese or anything although these additions were waiting on the counter. The table next to us which had filled up with a couple had already had bread given to them despite them arriving 10 minutes later to us. My only note on this is that although it is not poor service, it is simply quite un Putuguese as we 've found in many establishments it is the first thing they ensure that once we are sat down we have some form of nibbles. So our food arrived and our first impressions were as follows: dorade where 's the other half of the fish?! Pork and clams oh, with fries. Cod nice size! To explain, the dorade (golden bream was delicious and all however the portion was quite small when usually one is served the whole fish since it 's not that large and it was accompanied with some simple vegetables that made the dish not particularly large in portion size or filling altogether. The pork and clams were good, not bad, but a small plate of fries accompanied with it and a lot of the pork was fatty pieces which made much of it not particularly edible if you don 't eat pork fat. The cod was brilliant as the piece was great (in size and was accompanied with 4 or 5 potatoes a filling meal! However, upon tasting it, although it was said to be grilled, and it looked that way, the top tasted almost rubbery and burnt (which was the same for the bottom with skin , not much crispiness as one might expect. However, for a piece that large, although it was not a fillet (so it had many bones , the piece was big enough that in the middle, there was a sufficient amount of fish to eat. We finished absolutely everything that they served as really, to summarise, it wasn 't bad, it was just lacking in size. Also, for more stars, I think one would hope there would be more flavour as, for example, the cod was served on a bed of oil (very literally with surrounding potatoes (which were plain but delicious, no criticism there . The cost altogether was just over 35 euros including a big bottle of water (not even wine as it was too expensive at 11 euros! and the bread we ordered (not for free in this establishment . We ended up taking the bread in our basket we were still so famished and left dessert for another establishment where the price would be more reasonable for a decent portion size.

Once you go through the bar, outside and up the staircase what a transformation! Do not judge a book by its cover! The restaurant was next to full the entire duration of the evening and we were lucky to have found a table for 4 when we came as after that, they came and went pretty quickly. But there is a very good reason for this: this place is brilliant. The food is great despite the nimber of people (about 12 full tables) and the staff are very nice despite being only 2 waiters for the whole restaurant. We were given our menus soon and ordered the moules a la plancha, panache simple (as they had run out of scallops and we didn't like seiche cuttlefish) and the fish soup. They clarified we were sharing the panache simple and so have us an extra plate when the meal arrived without being prompted. Everything was delicious but I would recommend ordering more moules a la plancha for their taste and price it's brilliant. The best mussels we've every tasted and we've been through Brittany and numerous sea resorts across Europe and America. We then ordered the cafe gourmand (an espresso, mini ile flottante, mini chocolate fondant and profiterole), profiteroles and the creme brûlée brilliant choices! I think we would have been even happier if we had ordered a cafe gourmand each as everything was so delicious! The staff are also very nice though, courteous, smiling and happy to hear any of your requests. For just over 70 euros including tax and a bottle of local wine, this dinner was sensational. Best we've tasted in the area. Mmm ...

The shack has generous opening hours (we've been here both before midday and after 2pm for lunch) and is situated by the office du tourisme with a car park surrounding it. It is well enclosed so you don't feel as if a car might run you over if you're not careful and there is a nice seating arrangement with a chilled out beach vibe. So far, we have been ordering predominately assietes which are 10 euros each so pretty pricey but for fresh food, it's nice to enjoy on holiday. The guy is the main chef and prepares all the food right before you including fries. We've been having the brochettes which are kebabs basically of either lamb or chicken, the poulet colombo (spiced chicken), steak hache, hot dog all sorts, and all of these are served with a nice salad of lettuce, tomatoes and cucumbers and fries. You can though specifically prescribe it e.g. one time we ordered a salad composee with poulet colombo which came at 10 euros they're pretty open with it. Really nice people run the small establishment and are happy to help with whatever you want.
