Miramar Restaurant, Bedar

15 Jun

Last night was our friends, Cal and Matt’s last night so we decided to take a little trip up into Bedar. There are two very good reasons for going there. The temperature is beautifully cool at night, it is quite high up and usually there is a very light breeze. Secondly, the restaurant El Miramar (Mirror of the Sea) is just fantastic. The menu is usual Spanish fare but it is the position and the view which are the main reasons for going there. Mirror of the sea indeed – on one side of the terrace you are surrounded by mountain views – on the other, miles and miles of countryside, and then the sea. It is simply gorgeous.

Last night was no exception – we had a table on the busy little terrace and drinks were brought immediately. (Actually, you can just go for a drink if you wish). The menu is consistently good with lots of choice. It is pretty much grilled meat of fish for mains, done very, very well andCalsaid that he hadn’t had chips like this in years! There are plenty of good starters as well – a few choices of soup (the traditional fish soup is delicious), gazpacho and soup of the day, salads, calamari etc. It is good value too – expect to pay 25 euros for two courses with wine and coffee – we didn’t have any pud, but again there is plenty to choose from.

One has so much choice around us, that sometimes we forget about Bedar as a possibility – it is only 20 minutes away, and after last night it is definitely back on our top 10 list of restaurants.

Have really enjoyed reading your blog. We are heading out to Almeria province this summer and it is good to see a non-biased view of the various places that will be near to where we are staying. Thanks!

La Capilla Restaurant, Mojacar

This surely is one of the prettiest venues in the region – it is a converted Chapel and is gorgeous both inside and out. We went recently, just before the heat of the summer, for lunch and it was really excellent. La Capilla is on the road that joins Los Gallardos and Garrucha so it’s […]

Meson Villarejo Restaurant, Puerto Lumbreras.

Last Sunday, we took a trip north from us to Puerto Lumbreras to visit the outstanding Meson Villarejo restaurant. It’s an easy 35 km drive from us so it’s […]
Easter Simnel Cake

Since I have been on a diet (yawn) my baking activities have become somewhat depleted, but as I have guests, I thought I should make an effort for easter and so baked a Simnel Cake – great fun, easy peasy and I bet you have most of the ingredients in your store cupboard. I didn’t […]
