The "El Cantaro" is the closest restaurant to our villa, around 300
metres up the hill. The food here is primarily German / Italian, based around
meat dishes, pastas and pizzas - although one of our meals there incorporated
the most enormous prawns (known locally as Gambas). If you like large meat
dishes, then the Schnitzels, Pork Fillet and Argentinean beef steaks will be for
you. Not the cheapest restaurant, but impeccably decorated and great food.
The "Forn Vell" is a more informal restaurant a similar
distance from the villa, but at the bottom of the hill.
It has recently changed hands, is run by an English family, and has a good
value Fish & Chips night on Fridays at 19:30. Literally yards
away from the Forn Vell is the "Sancho Panza" (96-558-4000), where
the Dutch owner Rudi makes an enormous spare rib meal for around €12 a person.
Rudi's wife Madeleine is English, so again there's no problem if your Spanish
isn't too good. Just around the corner the "Venta del Vi"
(96-558-3443) is under German management, and serves similar food to that described above at the El Cantaro.
In the centre of the village (1km from villa) there are currently three main
restaurants, the "Awraba" (96-558-3866), the "Plaça"
(96-558-3380), and "La Fuente".
At these restaurants the "Menu del Dia" started at around €8 a head for a
three course meal including half a bottle of wine during 2009. There are also
several other bar / restaurants that are open for meals and snacks, including
the "Central Perk" that specialises in breakfasts, "Bar Escales"
in the main square for lunch-time tapas, and "Bar Cheers" which is currently being refurbished.
Slightly further away at around 1.5km from the villa are the "Piscina de Orba" (96-558-3372) where
the Italian chef specialises in pizzas (€6 to €8 each), and the
more traditional Spanish restaurant "El Quijote" (96-558-3388).
Open every day next to the petrol station on the road out towards Jalon is the "Maharajah" (96-55-4399) Indian restaurant.
Please note that you can use the telephone in Villa Rosa to make reservations at any of these restaurants at no charge.
