Cristina - Isla Cristina

While on family vacations with the kids, we were in the mood to have some frituras one evening. This place was recomendo by a local, its not located in the most tourist area of town, but everything we order was excellent. We had the punttinillas deep fried baby squid) deep fries red mullets excellent) deep fried small soles, among other. But we also had something i have never tried before , and its a “must” , CROQUETAS MORENITAS, its a kind of deep fried fish cake small) made with octopus, shrimp and the ink of sepias, delicious. All crunchy, served at the right temperature, and properly seasoned. The size of the portions are quite reasonable , i recommended the half portions, so that you can try a couple different things. Price wise was correct also

You never know where you when up when you travel, and what to ultimately expect. Case in point we happened upon this restaurant out of hunger! We were delightfully surprised at the amazing and charming service from the waitress, and other staff. It’s a simple restaurant with an espresso bar as well and outside tables. The secret here is simple, home made style of food, decent portion size and very low pricing. And it works very well. For starters we had fried cuttle fish which was lightly battered and hit the mark. This was followed by grilled tuna seasoned perfectly with garlic and olive oil, with some fries as the side. The tuna was cooked just the right amount so as to still be tender and flaky. Finally we tried the house paella with tomato base and seasonings with calamari, baby clams, and shrimps. It was spectacular. Like I said, you never know what to expect, and this time it was really nice.

Food was amazing would highly recommend lovely hotel you would not be disappointed food was lovely good choice
