The Juan Mari, Michelin recommended restaurant, turned out to have been an excellent choice for a birthday celebration meal.
We drove round the day before and made the booking and were given a complimentary coffee. the restaurant is Spanish and decorated to a modern high standard. The staff were friendly and attentive to our needs during the evening. A menu in English was offered without asking and the menu options were excellent for all our needs. complimentary nibbles and a large home made oiled bread was placed on the table. They stocked our preferred Juan Gill wine and it was quickly on the table. Our menu selections made, when our starters arrived we realised that it was only the northern Europeans who had one each. They are large enough to share and we will certainly share them in future. The starters were delicious, especially the black-pudding lollipops (4) My main meal selection was duck breast and I prefer the skin crispy rather than seared, however that did not detract from the delicious correctly cooked breast in a wonderful sauce, with poached pears. A postre of fig ice-cream nicely cleansed the mouth, before coffees and brandies, brought the evening to an excellent end.
A new restaurant for us that with it's well stocked menu, we will most definitely be returning to in the very near future.

Thought we would give this restaurant a try as it's rated number one in the area. We we're disappointed.
We had to ask for the wine list three times before we got it. A starter of house salad was fresh, but expensive for what we got..mainly lettuce leaves. We then had the paella, which was very good except for the fact it was too salty.
The waiters never poured our bottle of wine, and didn't even offer us a desert menu, so I guess they wanted us to leave, which we did. Would I go again?...probably not.

An excellent restaurant with an international menu. Speciality is tender steak served on oak platter with mashed potatoes, tomate provencal and asparragus. Beautyful interior and also a lot of seats outside. Established 2006. Warm welcome!

I'll start with the positive, the staff, an English lady and a young man were very nice. The place was clean, not brilliant, but no massive complaints. They did make an effort to pull something together for my vegan sister, but baring in mind we choose it from Trip Advisor because they are recommended for vegan food, there was nothing particularly great on offer, pasta and some limited vegetables, which was a take-it or leave it option. As basic as it was, she had the best meal, by a mile. My husband had swordfish, I doubt it was even 1cm thick, a really skinny offering, the potatoes he got with it were like flat, frozen, tasteless chips. Salad was poor. His however was better than the slop two of us got. Described as something like big prawns in a creamy chilli sauce, this was, without doubt, the worst meal I've had in living memory, my sister who ordered the same agreed. It was like pink condensed milk soup, with spaghetti and prawns floating in it, horrible doesn't begin to describe how awful it was. How on Earth this place is number 2 in the area is beyond me. Possibly they have a different chef in the summer months, it must be something like that. Steer clear.

My very first review for Trip Advisor was relating to this excellent restaurant which we first visited some 12 years ago.
The original indoor dining area was typically Spanish setting with oil paintings around the walls and a traditional feel about the place. This of course still remains presumably for the cooler months and please make no mistake it is a wonderful setting in which to dine.
However, Immediately to this area is a new external dining area which is ultra modern and extremely tasteful with a central water feature to further relax their guests. Truly this is a wonderful contrast to the indoor facility and a imaginative idea for the summer months.
The food remains at the usual high standard and the menu is in both Spanish and English.
There were six of us in our party that evening and all were able to find a suitable mouth- watering dish to our individual taste. Our ages ranges between the more mature down to teenage diners.
Our main courses varied between leg of lamb, pork de Paris, large sirloin steak, pizzas and sea bass fish and the obligatory tomato bread to 'start'.
We all really enjoyed the evening and complimented the staff on their attentive attitude to us.
As I stated earlier we have visited this venue on several occasions in the past and never been disappointed. You may be wondering about cost but I can assure you it is no more expensive than some of the venues along the Promenade in Santiago and certainly much better value for money.
So, will you give this place a try, you most certainly will not be disappointed!!

Once again had a few visits to this bar when staying at 525 hotel next door. Great atmosphere and very friendly.
Wee nibbles served with your drink. Nice low background music that you can still have a conversation.
Plenty people visit here as usually always busy.

We often call in to this bar for a snack after visiting the beach while walking / cycling around the the town of Santiago de la Ribera.
They are particularly pleased if you attempt to converse to them in Spanish and we have had some quite comical experiences arising from my limited command of the langauge.
Give this venue a go they will be very appreciative of you custom.
