What Guests Say
Guestbook
“ The food is amazing, especially seafood paella. I asked for the wine but I requested to serve it hot, bartender was shocked but she heated it perfectly, I enjoyed paella with hot wine. The staff is a bit slow, but friendly. ”
“ I had an amazing experience at this fish restaurant! The seafood was incredibly fresh, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. Every dish we tried was delicious, but I highly suggest what I was recommended as well, the Pil Pil Prowns, its a must when you are here. What really stood out, though, was the service. Our waiter, Dilan, was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. He gave great recommendations and made sure everything was just right throughout the meal. The desert was bot in the menu, it was the”desert of the day” recommended by him and it was delicious. Pistachio cake full of pistachio cream, I adored it.You could tell he genuinely cared about our experience. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for high-quality seafood and top-notch service. Can’t wait to come back! ”
“ Excellent spot for lunch, can’t beat the view and the atmosphere, specially if you sit outside. We had the sea bass in the oven, and avocado salad; it was an amazing meal. The sauce from that dish was incredible! many thanks to Dylan - our waiter - for his great service and recommendations. ”
“ Couple from London (and the girlfriend’s Mum): We arrived at 10:20pm, starving after a late flight and craving Spanish food and a beer. El Lotero was the closest restaurant to our apartment. It was like the universe lined this up for us. We were greeted and looked after by Dylan who is now my new best mate. They could have legitimately turned us away because of the late hour but Dylan, gave us a table, talked us through the menu and the first round of drinks touched the table before we’d finished our order. The perfect start to a holiday. We even reserved sun beds the next day. Goes without saying that the food (Calamari, Steak, Black Paella and Tomatoe and Tuna (Trust me, sounds strange, tastes amazing) was London standard. ”
“ One of the few restaurants open on a Monday evening in the area, was pleasant to sit outside and hear the sea. Food was ok, simple but tasty; we had Calamari and Chicken Skewers with Chips/Fries. Service was a little hit or miss, but they were quite busy and it's Spain... ”
