We try to avoid obvious touristy restaurants, around harbours for example, where you are paying for the location and sometimes the food doesn't match up. If you think the same, try La Pergola, nicely set up in a back street away from the more obvious areas in San Jose. We liked it a lot: a family-run feel to the place, good attention to detail and all the basics are right. Hot food is hot, salads are fresh - these things should always happen, but do they? Not always...............So La Pergola is a safe bet, welcoming and well set out - it can be opened up in sunny weather, or screened (Cabo de Gata is windy). Local wines were good and the fish was great - I had a super sole cooked in a butter and capers sauce. Desserts are decent and the whole experience is enjoyable, including the reasonable bill. Restaurants should be like this - good but unpretentious. I hope you like it - we went there twice during our short stay - it was early May and some are closed, especially on a Wednesday lunchtime.

We went there following the good reviews on TripAdvisor. We wanted to order tapas and a main but the waiter, who didn't speak English, was quite dismissive and didn't understand our order. We were brought the main (octopus with potatoes), which was tasty and tender, but nothing exceptional. We then waited for 40 minutes for the tapas, which never came. We had to ask the waiter again, who almost didn't want to bring us tapas. In the end we managed to eat two: one with small fried wish and a croquette. There was live music playing inside, which was nice. Overall, the restaurant is a bit overpriced and the service was not satisfactory given the general welcoming attitude of Andalucia.

We had one dinner, we took Paella negra for 2 persons (26â¬) very very tasty.Again one restaurant without billingual menu and without waiters who speak english.Maybe we would try some other specialty but we didn't understand a word this menu or this waiter that didn't understand our questions.Personel was little not professional, 3 waiters were in one moment around our table, looking in our plates, glases, and laughing behind our back.They couldn't believe that I didn't want anything to drink since they do not serve wine on glasses, only on a bottle, I think this is very big minus.

I endorse the other positive reviews. There are other dishes on the menu, but most people were eating pizzas. The ones we ordered were excellent, but note they are huge (as was the excellent and imaginative brigantino salad, even the so-called small version) - two between three would be more than enough. Service v. friendly and attentive. This is clearly v. popular and booking would be advisable, at least if you want to eat on the outside terrace (we arrived on spec and had to eat inside, which was a bit noisy, but in compensation the air conditioning gave welcome relief from the heat). Highly recommended overall.

Waterfront pizzeria/restaurant in Cabo de Gata Natural Park. An outside terrace shadowed by jasmine plants where you can eat traditional thin roman style pizza cooked in a brick oven and italian dishes as lasagna, spaghetti with clams, gnocchi and 10 diff

Their pizzas are the best ever. I´ve been visiting San Jose many times along the years and no matter what the season is, the pizzas never let you down. Only minus is that because the place is so popular the service can be really slow. Drinks come quickly but then you wait to get your food order in. And when you have eaten it can take ages to get the bill. I usually just walk to the cashier to pay. Maybe there is a reason to it but I never understood why it is so difficult to get the payment in, if the waiters anyway are quick in the beginning?Hi Laura, thanks for your words about the quality of the pizza. Sorry if we make wait for the bill. We give our best to make get the pizza on time and then we relax ;). Just kidding! Sorry again. Hace a nice summer.

We were walking in late afternoon when saw the table available in the small terrace, and we decided to drink a glass of wine.The waiter recommended a very good rioja reserva for 14 Euros, and also recommended a salad followed by crispi cereal coated chicken breast, so we decided the dinner on the spot. We were prepared for something light but more formal, and that resulted very informal but really good.The view of the beach and the sunset was perfect from our table.The restaurant is not located in the waterfront, but the view was throug a narrow street, located just in front of the terrace. Definitely we were at right place at right time.Service was very good and price was very good too...what else you can ask ?

My husband and I had dinner at El Otro Parque whilst staying in San Jose in June and had the best meal of our week's holiday here. We sat at a table on the pavement, right next to the road so enjoyed the hustle and bustle of the San Jose nightlife, including stray dogs and mopeds whizzing past.The waiter helped us out with his excellent English and advised us that the starters were large so one would be enough to share. We opted for the Caprese Salad which was fresh and tasty, but prior to this we enjoyed bread and olives as an appetiser. The wine we chose was light and tasty and reasonably priced.For mains we had the Tatiki de Atun and the Piedra de Buey special. The tuna was beautifully presented and tasty, with wasabi and other sauces. The steak special was spectacular, being served raw on a hot stone alongside onions and aubergine to cook to your liking. It certainly made the others diners turn their heads!To finish we opted for the Panna Cotta and the Tiramisu, which were each served in very large bowls and were delicious. If you are in San Jose, you really should visit El Otro Parque for the wonderful food and great service. It was head and shoulders above the other restaurants in the town.

Cocina sana, rica y natural. Para todos los públicos, con y sin intolerancias. Productos bio y de cercanÃa. Para disfrutar.
Reviewed By David W
El Jardin offers a range of food but specialises in allergy avoidance and vegetarian dishes. In line with this, we both had vegetarian dishes, mine being the one mentioned by the last reviewer, berenjenas, based on baked aubergines, which was piping hot and delicious, while my wife had the gnocchi. The owner / server was very friendly to all diners. The review ratings truly reflect the situation here, that this small restaurant is way above the rest on this marina-side row, which are at best average.

Very classy food, particularly with the new special âAlmeria 2019â menu - they give you numerous (mainly fish and seafood) dishes from right across the menu. Even though itâs â¬48, itâs good value for what you get. Good atmosphere and knowledgeable staff - highly recommended.
