This is a Readers Review submitted by Britt Arenander on the Mojo Picón Italian restaurant on Mojácar Playa.

I have discovered a little pearl of an Italian restaurant on Mojácar playa, unpretentious and cosy, situated on the Casa Egea stretch, more or less opposite Tito´s.

It´s still called Mojo Picón, as when the chicken with mojo picón was the main attraction.

Now it´s run by a friendly young Italian couple who serve really good homemade Italian food – I´m stuck on the ravioli filled with pumpkin, accompanied by bolognese sauce or a fresh tomato sauce, but there are many other pasta dishes to choose from. Last time my friend had pasta with homemade pesto, great!

There is also a selection of meat and fish dishes. If you ask for it a small salad comes with whatever food you choose, which saves you from ordering one of those huge salads that usually cost around 6 euros and that you can´t possibly finish.

I haven´t tried the pizzas yet, but I´ve seen they are big, and look highly appetizing.

If you don´t have a pudding a small bowl of fresh fruit is served after the meal, and the very reasonable bill comes with a chupito of a delicious liquor.

And oh, the white house wine is a lovely macabeo.

Ottocento is a restaurant that I’ve never been to. It used to be called “Arcano” until it changed its’ name earlier this year. It can be found next to Asuntxu tapa beer pull restaurant on the Playa.
Here’s a photo:

Hudson Stubbs tells me that:
“We went there for a meal tonight and I cannot praise it too highly. Nice restrained modern decor – excellent service and very reasonable prices.

We both had starters – me aubergines and my partner goat’s cheese — beautifully cooked and really tasty.

I then had lamb off the bone with broccoli/parmgiano and crushed potatoes. The whole thing was heaven on a plate.

Partner had pork in mustard sauce also very good. With wine, though no dessert, the bill came to €46 – pretty much the norm for the area but if we’d had pizzas could have been a lot less.

Lots of Spanish and some English customers but overall a most pleasant experience and our best since L’Incanto a few weeks ago.”

Cheers, Hudson. We shall pop in at some point and see if your review was accurate!

I haven’t been here yet, although I have seen it from the outside (lack of time, mainly).

However, Jane Bye has sent in this review so I thought I’d post it here for you to read!

At last, a decent Indian restaurant In the Mojácar area!

I have lived here for 20 years and love Indian food, and last summer a new Indian restaurant opened at Las Bouganvillas, between Garrucha and Vera. I decided to try It, (as a last resort) as I love Indian food, boy was I in for a treat, the onion bhajees were the best I have ever tasted, the portions were big, the food very tasty, it’s nice to have a vindaloo and still taste the food.

I went with 3 other friends who were all more than satisfied with their dinner, even the desserts were all home made. Service was excellent, I was a bit dubious when I walked in to see an English lady behind the bar, but she was very well Informed of everything on the menu and very efficient and friendly.

We have been back time and time again and won’t go anywhere else now. The restaurant is called the Golden Amritsar (after the city in India where the chefs originate).

The restaurant is clean and nicely decorated with colourful prints on the wall. On 2 occasions when I have been there, there were Indian people in there eating, that to me says it all really.
