dont no were youre staying?
but as for a good steak i would reccomend el patio restraunt,
its in the square were the market is held,gets very busy on a friday night,
its very close to the beach.
but there are a few restraunts on the way down to the beach.
most of the eating places on the front are bar/pubs.
enjoy ure hols

That's up the hill near The Red Lion, yes? I know where the market is held Thanks Excited now this time Thursday we'll be there, staying at El Trebol Meat!

yep opposite the red lion is the square.
behind the bandstand on youre left,best steak ive ever had anywere
there are a few diffrent eating places around that area.

El Patio is excellent, not cheap but good quality food and good atmosphere, especially when the market is on. Avoid the big mexican type places on the hill down to the beach from there like the plague.

Although there is an excellent Italian place about 3/4 of the way down that hill on the right hand side, the name escapes me though.

got to agree with robert on all he says,el patio steak maybe 10/15euros (e.g)
but then there is the service charge but well worth it.

Hi, I really can't agree on el patio,we've been going to Costa for a number of years and have eaten here 3 times and our steaks have always been really poor,the only reason we have been more than once is because I read comments like this and think we need to give it another chance but after 3 chances I think that's enough.
We can really recommend La Voca Loca whwich is an Argentinian restaurant which is by the square on the opposite side of the road to the Red Lion opposite the Nazaret apartments,you need to book because it's really small and popular,(I will be having my first steak here when we land on Friday),another place we find good for steak and large portions is Hollywood Nights by the Coronas Playa Hotel,this is more of a TGI Fridays type of restaurant but the food is always fresh and plentiful.
I agree to avoid the Mexican type places going down to the beach and also the one off the square.
Hope you have a great time.
Nick

Thanks all for your opinions would welcome anyone else putting there two penneth (or cent lol!!) in, Hollywood nights sounds good (for nice large portions, my John has a voracious appetite) however The Coronas Playa is quite a walk from where we stayin my heels...(I won't take cab ride to go for dinner )

sorry to hear lloydius
im going of my personal taste have ate in there for years and always found it spot on.
(i hope there reading this so i get a free meal lol)
word of warning thou if u dont like blood make sure you tell them,
there well done isnt the same as uk.
must admit ive heard nothing but good reports about hollywood nights,
even thou i have never eaten there

love meatxx

Thanks all again, has anyone heard or know of Las Maretas?

The casa blanca wasn't too bad. Steaks were fine and not a bad selection of vinos.

Hi,
Las Maretas is very good but you will have to book at this time of year and there is always a reasonable wait for your food - but well worth it. La Bohemia (the old Don Tango) has received some very good reports from our customers. We always eat out in Divina Italia - it blows El Patio out of the water every time! There is also a new restaurant open at the back of the square - do not know the name but it used to be an old abandoned house. Only had two revues from there but both very good!

I have personally found that you wont beat Portabello in the CC Las Cucharas at the bottom of your road. Great Fillet steak, lamb and the garlic prawns are the best. The homemade chocolate Mousse is to kill for. The lady is there 20 years there and is always packed with tourists and Spanish. Her name is Nati. You wont find a better welcome or good grub.

Inside the centro commercial? Or beach side? Left or right?

Divina Italia is a lovely place to eat
