Playa Azul - Cuevas del Almanzora

After reading the TA reviews we were excited about our visit When I rang for a reservation I asked for 9pm and was told only 8.30 was available which was fine , we arrived to an empty restaurant and after a 5 min walk around we found someone to seat us we were in fact the only dinners that evening ? We were really looking forward to their signature dish of Lobster with rice but we were told you have to phone and order in advance for rice dishes ??? never said that in reviews or on their web site) Anyway our first choices for starters were not available but the fried octopus I had was good The mains were a bit hit and miss because we really wanted fish as the lobster and rice was off . My wife chose the last portion of Turbot and that only left Tuna , nothing else available unless we wanted Monk fish but we both had to have it ? In the end I had a Sirloin Steak which was ok ish So generally not great £80 euros later and feeling the reviews were misleading , perhaps we went on a bad night ? I think we will spend our euros somewhere else in future

A welcome stop on the way in or the way out of the market. 32 degrees and it late September. Perhaps a cold drink may have been a better choice. Coffee very nice all the same. Great place to sit and people watch.

Fantastic village great market place . Very friendly locals. All the stall offered different produce. A variety of clothes . Also beautifully colored pashminas .

Hemos venido recomendados por una amiga. Y menudo acierto. El menú del dia espectacular. Por cantidad y calidad. (Y las patatas fritas del segundo plato... 'NATURALES ' Sin ser congeladas)

Lo conozco de ir solo a comer y en distintas ocasiones. Es ALTAMENTE RECOMENDABLE. Exquisita cocina con mucha variedad de arroces, además de entrantes y productos preferentemente del mar. LÁZARO y el personal que lo acompaña son muy profesionales, rápidos y amables en el servicio. DEJÁOS RECOMENDAR, tanto en viandas como en vinos y postres. Buena ubicación y fácil para aparcar. ¡¡¡ NO OLVIDÉIS RESERVAR !!! Y luego, un paseíto junto al mar.
