Hi, There is a saying among travellers 'never go back". Memory is so often better than current reality.My last review was doubtful but reassured by recent posts Sandra & I returned. Won't bother again.A Pale Reflection of What It Once Was.Yes, huge amounts of food for the mone, but the Starters & Mains have shrunk and Lamb only on Sunday.No longer open on Saturday.No we shall leave our memories untarnished and relegate to "great VFM ", "used to be so much better" & wouldn't manage to get Sandra there again.So disappointed.Bob

Four of us ventured up the mountain to the Virgin del Saliente restaurant, a 20m min drive from Albox. The views from the monastery were stunning.We had booked, but were a little disappointed to find we were the only diners there, however it didn't spoil it for us.Salad and fresh bread, followed by a choice of 5 or 6 starters, main course, sweet, coffee and 1/2 bottle of wine per couple all for just â¬12:50... Nicely decorated place, excellent service and great food. Will definitely return very soon.

The place has both Spanish and other Europeans customers enjoying what is probably the best food in this small town.Tapas and menu del dia are both excellent. They have recently started offering menu del noche (12⬠for 3 courses inc wine or beer and coffee) where the place gets sort of transformed into a little bistro on Thurs/Fri/Sat evenings. The chef has a genuine passion for his cooking and it shows. They have a small but good selection of wines from Spain and other countries, cold beer and great coffee.... Well worth a visit.
4. Cafe Bar Wassy
Reviewed By helmalc2016
Wassy's has been part of the Albox scene for more than a dozen years. The staff are very helpful and the waiter speaks good English.The menu is basic but excellent value for money.We had a small plate of spicy squid to share from the tapa menu and then chose our dishes from the board showing photos of all the meals available. We had a nice salad each to start which is part of the deal. Then my wife had swordfish and chips with a fried egg (everything comes with a fried egg) and I had three pieces of perfectly cooked, tasty pork with chips and the fried egg. We had a bottle of agua con gas, a bottle of Rioja and two coffees, and the bill came to 27 euros. Highly recommended for cheap, tasty nosh.

5. El Circulo Bar Restaurante
Reviewed By jiminysimpson
Have lived in this area for 16 years and had never even heard of this restaurant. Today as a group of us had preplanned we went there for lunch. They normally do not do menu del dia but they are happy to accomodate most requests. in advance of our visit we had enquired if they could do a menu of 12 people. They gave us 2 options at 15 and 20 euros. We selected the â¬15. I have to say this restaurant experience was a pleasantly surprisingly excellent one. We had 3 sharing starters a lovely potatoe, tomatoe, egg and tuna salad, the second breaded cuttlefish, the 3rd eels and shrimps in garlic. Each and every one of which was excellently cooked and large portions. Foe main there was just a choice of chicken or pork. But I have to say both dishes were different from the run of the mill. The pork was a striop of belly pork grilled on the BBQ to be crispy and tasty served with potatoe wedges and peppers. The chicken dish was also a little different in that it was a boneless thigh had retained its moisture and was well seasoned and almost a roasted flavoured topping. Served with chips and vegetables. For dessert it was a choice of cheesecake or ice cream. As we had all purchased our own drink the owner reduced the price of the menu to â¬13.50. The menu also included coffee and a chipito. The service from the new Ukrainian waitress and the owner was first class. The ambience of the room is very good with comfortable chairs. None of our party had any complaints. In fact all agreed it was one of our best choices for lunch. Normally it is tapas or a la carte but given what we experienced I will have to try this place again.
