Restaurant Recommendations
My wife is celebrating her 65th birthday soon and I am looking for somewhere special to take her. Can anyone make any recommendations?
We went to a new restaurant called Auberge and it was very nice. Decorated very nicely and good atmostphere. Nice choice on the menu too.
The Hot Stone Restaurant at El Raso is great and somewhere different that is not just your normal restaurant - you cook your food (steak, fish, chicken, veg on request) on a hot stone at your table to your requirements. Great fun!
We always enjoy Fratellis on the square in Benijofar - lovely food and good service. Do usually have to book for a weekend though.
For a special treat I highly recomend la Heradura. okay you have a short drive to montesinos but its on the main drag and it is a wonderful experience, typically spanish, with an amazing menu of the highest order. its not somewhere youd go unless it was a special occasion or you were happy to spend a few quid. you can dine in the large dining room, outside in the beautiful spanish courtyard or you can book one of their many small and intimate dinning rooms, it really is a lovely experience.
Just come back from Portico Mar, Guardamar. Excellent food, lovely presentation and excellent service, nice surroundings......3 course meal with wine, lunchtime 14,95.....evening 17,95......ideal for that special occasion
Thanks everyone for the recommendations - Ill have a think and let you know where I decide on and how it was, more importantly!!
EXHIBITION OF 2ND HAND CAR SALES
Visited Xl 2ND HAND MOTOR FAIR IN ALMORADI yesterday as I was looking and hoping to change my car in part exchange. Lots of choices, but was amazed how expensive second hand cars cost here in Spain. I tried to negotiate with several dealers but they were so adamant about the prices and would not budge a great deal. So I decided to keep my car for at least another year. I will give it a service and look after it and save myself a few euros.
I have seen a few cars as I have been driving around in the Catrel area that are for sale and they seem very cheap. I will post the phone numbers next time I am passing
HOTEL
I am trying to find the name of the hotel in the area that is on the beach as I have friends that are looking to stay for a few nights but I can not remember for the life of me the name, can anyone help please?

ITALIAN RESTAURANTS
Are there any Italian Restaurants in Almoradi as I think we have walked throughout the town and I haven´t seen any. We do like a variety of international cuisine and Italian food is one of them. Can anyone confirm that there are no Italian places to eat in Almoradi. Thank you
The only place I know that offers Italian food is Restaurante Giovanni, its not a full blown Italian restaurant more continental cuisine, but some of the Italian dishes are very nice. If you go back 2 weeks on the forum I reviewed an Italian Restaurant called Fratelli´s in Benijofar and would definately recommend this if you want good homemade Italian food. Your feedback is most welcome. Regards
As Almoradi Life have already confirmed Giovanni´s restaurant is the only one in Almoradi that offers Italian food. Again if you drive another lovely Italian restaurant called La Napolitana offers delicious authentic Italian food and is based in Benimar ll, right at the top of the hill. You will not be disappointed. Regards John
MENS TENNIS FINAL SUNDAY 5 JUNE
Tennis lovers out there, tomorrow is the final of the French Open from Paris.
It´s being contested by the usual suspects, Nadal and Federer. Live on Eurosport and BBC2 from 3.00pm. Who will lift the trophy this year? One interesting fact is if Federer wins then Djockovic will be the new no1 in the world!
MOBILE CAR MECHANIC
Hi there,
Would like to thank you for recommending Bob the Car Mechanic who carried out a service on my car, checked everything before he took it to Orihuela and put it through its ITV and passed. Very pleased with the outcome.
