There are only 4 or 5 places to eat around Palomares & Villaricos so when you see a modern, clean & well presented place such as El Mar la Mar its hard to resist. Anyone thinking of eaton here however should think twice. The food is over priced and you are paying for the decor rather than the food! One question I would like to ask Mr Shepherd (who puts their name on the sign for god sake!?) is "How can a fish platter for two be charged at 42 euros when your place of work is right on top of a harbour!?" People beware - it is a nice place & the staff are very friendly but take my word for it you will get much better value for money if you look around. Should be called El con la con!! Pssstt......on the way back from Vera Playa take a left at the roundabout by the garage & 300 yards on your left is a great little place - huge portions, quality food & cheap wine (tasty though!)

I can only say that we had a very pleasant dining experience. We sat on the outside terace with a view to the sea. We declined a starter havng had a late lunch that day. I chose the sirloin steak which was cooked to my liking and was delicious. It came with caramelized red cabbage and a small salad on the plate. Then out came a dish with freshly cooked vegetables, carrots, brocolli, leeks and a layered potato bake that was to die for. Pete had the clams in cream, garlic and white wine salsa (smaller appetite than me!) which he thoroughly enjoyed. We decided to have a postre and Pete chose the Flan and I had the Apple Tarte. The food, the presentation and service were superb! We are not wine drinkers and had ordered gin and tonics which lasted through the meal. The 'damage' came to 44 euros. A restaurant we can recommend to all. We dined at El Mar La Mar on Wednesday, 18th June, 2008. I can only say that we had a very pleasant dining experience.

Tadeos would have been better, if they haven't got the fish you ask for fresh, they tell you what they've got that is. You need more than 10 euros though, thing is, if you want quality you have to pay for it. Why would anyone go to an English Bar for fish?
