Gareth & Phil have fun in Spain 2025.

[Mr porky]

Ah D&L with a hind of lemon, ever so slightly different from the red original, both very nice

Loved the origional, thought i would try this one. Expensive though

Worth it though, but you will get wise to it, in Belgium its 2 euro something a pot, so I buy 24 pots each year when visiting my family

It's worth calling into Europe via Belgium

Must admit we were really disappointed with Nerja last year. We have friends who love it. In fact my old practice manager’s parents have a place there so she’s been going there since it was a tiny place! We stayed at Cabopino for two weeks in Feb, mind you we really don’t get the appeal of that place either other than the onsite restaurant being OK.
Nerja is bland, like Benalmadena and all those other purpose built white resorts. There is still a very tiny old bit up the hill. Nice beach and I suppose that’s what the majority of people go for. Boardwalk that goes for miles.

If the sun is shining I bet you two will find good food somewhere even if it’s next to your van.

Know exactly what you mean!

We had a wonderful time last night, we had gone off tasting menus as sometimes you would get so far through and think ok I'm done now.
This was something different, after arriving at 8pm we didn't leave till after 11pm and I was shocked it didn't feel like 3 hours.
If you are in Nerja i would definitely recommend this restaurant, they do al acarte as well which looked so good.
The pairing off the wines to the food was expertly done.


Beef tartar cherry tomatoes, capers, lemon

Scallops beurre blanc, leeks

Ox tail, sweet potato and honey

Corbina (hake), meurnier sauce, parsnip pureé

Venison, chestnut purée, mushrooms, port and mushroom reduction

Trio of cheese

White chocolate and cheese, milk chocolate base and passion fruit top

I don't think I even want to try and guess the cost of that, I'd have a heart attack

 

[Mikey RV]

I think you two need to buy me a new IPad because this one is getting ruined by me dribbling all over it with your foodie posts.

How long before you start craving for a plate of egg, chips and beans ?

Looks like posh tapas with your wine.
Bet it was tasty though.

Wow, that's a lot of wine I guess you take it with you for later?
That last one, the De Muller moscatel, is from my neck of the woods

It's a glass of wine with each course.

 

[CazPaul]

Looks lovely grub, however I can’t do with bits here and there, lots of small courses, tapas etc etc

It must be my Yorkshire upbringing, give a great big pile of grub and a hand pulled ale, a Guinness and a couple of vintage ports to round off.

If only I had class so envious of you, are you born with it or can you develop class?

All I will say is I wouldn't want to be downwind of you after that lot, especially the Brussels sprouts

BTW Paul, a great choice of Ales and Port.

I bet Phil went back to the van and polished off the Lasagne - we all know that menu wouldn’t have satisfied his appetite!

Looks lovely though!

Yes I did Jock although I have to admit, when I went back up the second portion wasn’t quite as big.

All the courses sound wonderful. Can’t wait to get to Panama to see our daughter Claire and SIL and eat out there. Nick isn’t really a foodie but the 3 children are fortunately so I make up for lost time when we’re with them. Matthew’s fiancée is a chef so they’re always keen to explore new places especially if we’re paying!

I’m sure the constituents on CazPaul plate might be nice but piled like that would put me right off and I don’t like gravy.

 

[scotzsue]

Think we may head to that area later in the year just for that restaurant
