Carmela Gourmet - San Javier

You need to scan a QR code to read the menu and this instantly annoys me. Reading a menu on a small phone screen is frustrating at best. This is probably a hangover from COVID, which like COVID, hasn't gone away yet. Service was pretty quick and they were accomodating for a child's preference. We had nachos and a cheese fondue sharing board. Nachos are good but arrived way before the cheese fondue. Cheese was great with lots of accoutrements and fresh bread, pricey but nice. Very bizarrely however the mains arrived when we were only half way through the starter. They seemed to just push the food out as it was cooked without any thought. The main I had was not good and like the others came on a plate with a red and white checked greaseproof napkin thing that made the presentation look cheap and nasty. It was a chicken burger with sweet potato fries and that was it, just thrown on a plate with no imagination. It was an incredibly average plate of food for the money and was ok tasting barring 1 thing, the chicken burger. Believe it or not the chicken burger was a single deboned chicken thigh coated in a stodgy, soggy garlic rich batter. It was awful and I still can't believe they serve it as a chicken burger. For this standard of restaurant it should be a fillet it a delicious crispy batter. The other diner had the Iberico pork burger and the wedge of pork in that could have held a door open in a force 10 storm. It just doesn't make sense. Plenty of positives but left feeling negative, lots of room for improvement.

Had the most delicious cheesecake ever in this delightful bar..... highly recommend a visit

Good quality coffee bread. Coffee served in lovely porcelain tea cups nice little touches like the jam pot.
