Leonardo Ristorante

A quiet relaxed atmosphere for enjoying fine dining at an affordable price. All ingredients are freshly cooked on the day. We are situated on the street level of the centre, as you look at the centre from the road at the front of the centre use the left hand entrance and proceed over the 'bridge' above the lower level and we are the second unit on the left.

Restaurante Giovanni

Reviewed By Carole S - Almoradi, Spain

As usual the food and wine were excellent. Some new faces for me in the staff on the night. Place full to the brim. The tomato soup, lamb shank and red wine definitely up to the mark. Absoljutely stuffed and could not contemplate a dessert. Good food, good drinks, good company and very pleasant and helpful staff. What more could anyone want?

Reviewed By PhilandRuth - Aylesbury, United Kingdom

This little gem is just a stones throw from some lovely little squares in Murcia. The decor is modern and welcoming with seats around the bar where fish and delicacies are on view. The first time we went we sat at a raised bar style table which gives you a good overview of the restaurant, the second we were round the corner near the loos. The staff were friendly and helpful, although our daughter's Spanish helped a great deal. The food was absolutely delicious. The sea food was really fresh and tasty but of particular note (this was over 2 visits!) were the squid croquettes, tuna tartare on avocado, confit fish tomatoes, beef cheek, fresh fish, finished off with a selection of desserts - chocolate fondant, cheesecake and fresh fruit. Everything was beautifully presented. One word .. YUMMY! If you like your food this is for you.

Reviewed By Hatterdon

We were here last year and this place was fantastic! The staff are so friendly and accomadating.
Joy herself is lovely and I can't fault the food. Best Thai food I've had since I visited Thailand. Very authentic flavours.
I had so much Larb Moo that the staff playfully told me I wasn't allowed any anymore and that I had to eat something else off the menu . I did....it was equally as delicious!!
Gotta mention Mike, he was such a sweet guy!
Can't wait to go back again this year.
5 out of 5 guys!

Reviewed By congo reviewer

Was really shocked by the amount of food. Very small portion for the price. You will need to order starter main and desert. Not very good value, and not that special. Will not return, so many better restaurants in the area to choose from. Very expensive for what it is.
