8. El Sabroso
Reviewed By juliedurung
A manager at our hotel recommended this place for excellent seafood at reasonable prices. He was right on both accounts and we are very happy we took his recommendation.There is no menu, instead our server had a handwritten notepad with the day's catches which he read out to us. Unfortunately he spoke limited English and we spoke limited Spanish so deciphering the menu was difficult and we ended up asking him to choose for us. It worked out for the best since we loved every dish he selected for us. We ate:Coquinas - tiny clams that were simply amazing and we plan to visit Ceuta again just for this. You just inhale one tiny clam after another and its unstoppable until there is just a mound of shells on your plate.Gambas - small shrimps that changed the way we think about shrimps. They were perfectly seasoned and the meat just melted in my mouth. My husband likes to eat the shell as well and he loved the crunch of the shell with the softness of the shrimp, saying he didn't know shrimp could be like this.Concha fina - We added this after seeing a different table get it. A medium to large sized clams, you can get it with or without salsa. I highly recommend getting it with the salsa.Before the meal, there is a small plate with some olives, tomatoes (some of the most delicious tomatoes I've ever had,) beets, and a rice tuna salad. After the meal we were given an anise tasting liqueur for my husband and an apple non-alcoholic liqueur for me to help digestion, though I think they normally charge for these. The service was very friendly, understandable since the server co-owned the restaurant with two friends, who he said were like his family, and made us feel like family as well.We enjoyed the meal so much we visited again for dinner that same day, getting the coquinas again as well as a few other clam varieties, and some fish croquettes. They also sent out a shrimp dish cooked with onions, peppers, potatoes and salsa that they wanted us to try. They are very proud of their food and wanted us to try as much as we could. Which reminds me, be sure to try their desserts. On both occasions we dined, we were too full for dessert but on the second occasion they insisted we had to try and gave us a selection (still in glass bowls) for us to take to our hotel, going so far as to give us a few metal spoons from their restaurant.As a final touch, when they learned my husband is a cook in San Francisco, they invited us in to their kitchen to have a look around. I cannot recommend this place enough. The food is simple, honest, and truly truly amazing. Beyond that, the owners are fantastic people, proud and joyous about what they do and happy to share it with everyone. We spent the next 25 days travelling Morocco and then Dubai, and during the whole time we thought of this place and how we have to visit Ceuta again. Possibly my favorite restaurant in the world.

Great beach restaurant with excellent slightly chaotic service when it gets busy! With the warmer weather it was a great spot for a Sunday lunch. The service was friendly and fast and the food was simple, fresh and delicious. The grilled fish and the salads were excellent.
6. Salamandra

Esta situado en la playa de El Chorrillo, tiene una hermosa terraza con bonitas vistas y un comedor a cubierto. Tomamos ensalada italiana, con aguacates y mozzarella: correcta, aunque le faltaba algo verde: canutillos de langostinos muy ricos, berenjenas en tempura y unas brochetas de atún que fue lo mejor. El atún estaba soberbio. Buena relación calidad-precio. El servicio correcto y amable. Volveremos.

We were recommended this little fish restaurant by the Tourist Office. We asked for a place where they served fish and seafood and were delighted to find this small restaurant nested in a side street of Ceuta, a Spanish enclave in Morocco. The food was fresh, delicious and plentiful, the prices were reasonable, the waiter was knowledgeable. All together we had a wonderful experience and would recommend this fish restaurant to anyone in the area ... who likes fish and seafood!!

We go often to eat to this restaurant even in spite of the area where it is situated, right next to a petrol/gas station.The sea food they serve is more than worth it. But also the kindness, availability and good advice from their crew is a good point to attract the attention of any customer. Normally I prefer the winter because the dining room is big enough and basically decorated with a view to the sea-food display and the wines range. In summer time you are normally seated outdoor very close to a parking area.Basic cooking, and good quality product, that´s all they need.By the way, a lot of good wine references are also available, red as well as white varieties.

We were looking for good seafood in Ceuta and we found it here! The chef was super nice, the restaurant was actually closed for a special function but the chef allowed us to come in and created an amazing 4 course dinner just for us! My favourite plate was the calamar a la plancha (grilled) which was fresh (not frozen) and was served with perfectly cooked vegetables.
