Sangacho - Motril

We had a good experience here a mixture of local,northern Spain,modern with some good twists all very well presented by knowledgeable staff. The previous review was upset to have tax added to his bill,this is clearly stated on the menu and is semi norm in Spain. Sadly this restaurant shuts for winter but it's sister restaurant el conjure is open all year. Try the main course of suckling pig with a difference, also sandwich of Rabo de Toro,a well worth visit. If you want gourmet pizzas they sounded and looked very good.

We visited this establishment as part of our summer holiday. 2 adults and 2 kids. We shared a couple of starters, the kids had excellent bacon and cheese croquetas to start, we shared a carpaccio which met expectations, a little more oil and some capers would have made it perfect. Both dishes were presented very elegantly. For the main course we shared 3 gourmet pizzas which were all fantastic, possibly the best we've ever had, made with care and imagination. The staff were attentive, kind and efficient, the cutlery, crockery and furniture were far better than a standard holiday pizza joint. The toilets were spotless and nicely designed. The prices were a little high but reflected the care and quality of the dishes we were served. However when the bill arrived it was clear something was amiss, our waitress explained that the menu prices did not include 10% IVA (Spanish VAT). We have lived a long time in Spain and I have never experienced this before. Prices always include IVA. So at the end the bill was 10% higher than expected. This meant that the last interaction we had with the restaurant was a bit frustrating despite the fact that everything else had been great.

It was what I thought it would be, and that is why I got disappointed! The salad was too poor and, although it was supposed to have mango fruit the one I ordered, I couldn't find it anywhere. The cod was good but the flamenquin was very soft and I can't say whether I liked it or not. Maybe I am not used to small but highly decorated dishes! Moreover, the waiter spilt a beer over us, he apologised but I think the bill should have kept that in mind as I got soaked but smiled. These are details that make me think it will take a long time me to go back.

We loved both service and food. All right! We love finding places like that, they have a different letter. We're gonna repeat insurance!

I usually go all the holidays and the food is spectacular, also highlight the attentive and professional treatment of the staff working in the restaurant.
