Restaurant : Vineria San Telmo, Seville, Spain

Quite simply divine tapas in a nice spot close to the Alcazar gardens.

Stack of tomato, aubergine, salmon and goats cheese. 

Cod, peppers and potatoes. 

Spanish tortilla. Mushrooms and onions. 

Broccoli cous cous. 

Yummy 'egg dessert'...tasted like of cross between a custard tart and creme caramel. Sweet but delicious. 

 Such good value for such amazing food. 

Time of visit: Friday lunchtime in May 2014.

Chix Chox, Polis, nr Paphos, Cyprus

What's the Curbappeal?:

- setting in bustling central square (the focal point of Polis) 

- friendly and relaxed atmosphere

- delicious home cooked gigantic pizzas

- traditional Greek music is a nice touch (I didn't find it too cheesy)

Recommended?: most definitely. Reasonably priced (approx Eur65 for two; two starters, two medium pizzas, dessert and alcohol). Quality of food excellent, so very good value. 

Menu - it's huge - expect to take sometime to decide what to eat. 

Peeping into restaurant from outdoor seating area. 

Tasty olives. 

Freshly homemade spongy bread. Hard to resist. 

Starters: feta cheese with prawns and fresh tomatoes. Delicious. Other dish is feta cheese with tomatoes and chillies. In Hindsight, I probably overdid the feta cheese a tad. 

Massive delicious pizzas, proudly freshly made from scratch and boy can you tell. 

Close up of pizza. 

No idea how I managed homemade chocolate cake with vanilla icecream, but I'm a sucker for chocolate dessert. 

Outdoor terrace, with heat lamps, allowing outdoor dining even in November (when I was there). 

Outdoor terrace. 

Time of visit: Friday night mid-November 2013. 

Restaurant Review: El Unico, Puerto Portals, Majorca

What's it's Curbappeal?
- outdoor terrace overlooking the yachts in the harbour
- exclusive feel; you get to the restaurant having being escorted by staff to a private glass lift that takes you up into the restaurant
- delicious fresh fish; there's no menu here - the waiter shows you the catch of the day & let's you pick your feast
- huge wine list
- atmospheric & quirky Flanigan bar downstairs (chairs & model planes hang from the ceiling) to have a pre or post dinner drink

Time of visit: Saturday night, May 2013
