Great little restaurant called in on Saturday night and was made extremely welcome with a lovely label on their small but stunning terrace. Following a great conversation with the owner who knows how to work âfront of houseâ fantastically we ordered Chiperonies a la planca and tortilla (freshly prepared) both plentiful and a delight to eat. To follow on our hosts recommendations we had Tuna (caught that day) and Roast Suckling Pig again both were not oversold and a joy to eat. We washed it all down with an inexpensive bottle of Albarino chilled to perfection. Itâs great to find restaurants that are true to the region and country. Thanks for a great evening and an outstandingly memorable meat.

Lovely restaurant with great food - not the best Iâve ever had, but good and generous portions, though a little pricey compared to other local restaurants - however the beautiful surroundings made it worth while and a delightful change. Friendly efficient service. I would recommend it but maybe not in the summer if you donât want children running around, as there is a playground in the grounds, so assume it is popular with families!

We visited El Castillo Restaurant and had simply awful food! We were treat badly after returning some chicken that was so undercooked it was dangerous! The owner knows I'm going to leave a review after the way we were treated. The children ate 7/10 chicken nuggets and then told us they were cold, funny coloured and wet. I quickly stopped them having any more and called the lady waiter to politely point this out....we waited ten minutes and nothing was done. I complained to a gentleman waiter and he said he would make some more. Not something any of us wanted to experience again and even left one of our party very upset at the thought of being very ill for the rest of our stay...The waiter then quite rightly said' "what do you want me to do?" and I simply said, "bring me the bill please and we will see". He took the price of the nuggets off but not the fries it was served with. I then said "are you happy with that?" and he said "yes" I told "I am not" at this point what appeared to be the owner stepped in and said "pay me nothing" I said I'm a fair man and offered to pay for the drinks at least. He said "No" and then quickly added "and never come in my restuarant again!" Now somehow I think that's very unlikely as the food was awful and we were going home the day after anyway. What really got to me was there was no apology what so ever and told to never come back. I have told you all exactly as it happened as I'm not one for twisting the truth. I have posted some photos of the dangerous food. Avoid this place! it wants closing down immediately in my honest opinion.

First visit after many years as we heard they didn't like children. Well that was incorrect. The food and staff were fantastic. We liked it so much we went back a 2nd time. No complaints. Will be back again sometime soon.

We love El Portet and liked to walk here via Moraira sea front most days. It was lovely to sit at a table and watch the world go by and gaze at the incredible view. Enjoyed the sangria and almendras and some light snacks such as bocadillos but the rudeness of the waiters finally got to us and we didnât return. My husband has red hair and has to be careful in the sun so we prevaricated over the best seat for him to be in the shade. A waiter nearly threw one of the chairs in his attempt to reposition it. I can forgive their fairly basic food, that despite being in Spain we were given tinned fruit in the sangria but I cannot forgive rudeness.Señora este rst es el raco de larros,no esta en el portet,esta opinion no corresponde a mi rst,gracias.

Visited after reading reviews for tasca 42. Our first meal in Moraira, we didnât book a table so sat inside. Staff polite and friendly. Wine was delicious and very reasonably priced. Local house red, Tempranillo was 3 euros a glass. So the food.......well it was very Spanish. Possibly too Spanish for my wife and my son. Tapas were very tasty, we went for pan y Ali oli and tomato, chicken wings and fresh sardines. Main courses were just ok. My son ordered cuttlefish but wasnât too keen!!! So I ended up eating most of it. My daughter and I ordered garlic prawns with guacamole and chips!!!!???? It was very tasty but very filling. My wife had the mini burger which was just enough for her as she wasnât too hungry. Menu is quite different so donât expect to go there with a list of meats, fishes, pastas etc. The place does get busy and especially outside seating so booking would be advised.

Had a thoroughly enjoyable lunch here. We hadnât booked and chanced upon a pavement table. The waitresses took a while to get to us but once we ordered everything was lovely. We had prawns, the mozzarella salad and homemade croquettes which were beautiful. The kids chicken fingers were made with chicken fillet and were really tasty too. It is tucked a bit out of the way of the main tourist route but itâs definitely worth seeking out.

We love eating seafood and whilst in Moraira, we decided to try out the Piscis restaurant as it is rated highly on Tripadvisor. We called in the restaurant one Tuesday evening without a reservation, however, we were offered a table for 2 as there were some tables free. We were offered a glass of sparkling white wine once seated. There are plenty of fish dishes in the menu. We had a mixed salad and prawn cocktail as starters and our mains consisted of mixed grilled fish and peppers stuffed with squid. Both dishes were delicious; the fish was cooked to perfection and the squid's sauce was out of this world, absolutely tasty. We were so full that we did not order any dessert. The service was attentive and personal which was very pleasant. We had a lovely meal here and would come here again.The Wise-OnesSeptember 2019
