Max Beach, Riviera del Sol – Part II

After reading some positive feedback about Max Beach in response to the first post, I decided to give this restaurant another chance and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. For one, Max Beach changed its menu since the last time I was there. What a difference, so much better! The menu really has ample choice for everyone and it was offered in various languages (not just in English).  The setting was also much more relaxed and elegant.  I tried their mussels and garlic shrimps (gambas pil-pil) and both were absolutely delicious. I definitely give Max Beach two thumbs up for the changes it has made and I look forward to the next time!

Clubhouse Restaurant, La Quinta Golf & Country Club

La Quinta Golf Club… beautiful setting, beautiful location, beautiful decor, very friendly staff but terrible food. What a shame! Seriously people, as far as I’m concerned if a chef isn’t even capable of creating a decent plate of pasta then he or she does not belong in a kitchen. The food at la Quinta Golf club is made with no passion what so ever and a chef without passion is a recipe for bad food! What a disappointment!

La Taberna Del Pintxo

Tapas… a fun and casual way to eat out! Have you tried La Taberna Del Pintxo yet? This tapas restaurant is a little different to other tapas restaurants. Here, instead of ordering what you want you get offered tapas by a waiter who goes around the restaurant with a tray of tapas. The tapas are served on a slice of bread or on a stick and can vary from fried fish to grilled chicken or even fried camembert. This restaurant can be a lot of fun, unless you are very hungry (sometimes you have to wait a while before the waiters come to your table). Also, if you’re a vegetarian then I suggest you eat before going to Taberna Del Pintxo… it might take a while before you get to eat anything in this restaurant. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!
