Isoleta - Níjar

What an excellent choice for a evening of dining with family. Nice ambience and flavorful food, good presentation and great service. We had a variety of appetizers and just one main dish to share. Each appetizer was tasty and delightful.

Good service and good gluten-free options. Excellent octopus and good “black paella” (paella with squid ink). Not cheap but food quality makes it worth. Definitely much better in all senses than restaurants that are more attractive with regards to physical location.

We were staying at the pension and in making our reservation were pressured to make a dinner reservation there. We saw that there were only a couple of tables occupied on the outdoor terrace, which had a nice view of harbor but would occasionally have a wave sweep over it. The waiter showed us a list of all the fish that were available. We sat down and were shocked at the price of the seafood. I'm sure that they had very few on the premesis but shared a source with the other couple of restaurants in town, so probably not fresh. We decided to try a couple of very overpriced starters. Breaded fried chipirones (squids) for 14 euros!! (normally around 6) and sardines for 9. The waiter was surly and had to be asked 3 times to bring us our water and wine. The food came and was at best dissapointing. The Chipirones were greasy and falling apart (probably frozen even though we asked if they were fresh, the sardines were funky, not fresh either. When you pay that much for a view, the food should at least be above average this was well below. I got up to pay since the 3 waiters for 5 tables didn't respond. At the cashier, the woman in charge of pension was at the till. she old me to get it from the waiter who sort of threw it at me.

Mirar carta antes de sentarse debido a los precios, aunque los platos están bastante llenos las guarniciones se diferencian poco de unos a otros y las patatas a lo pobre con exceso de grasa

Fuimos a DOMINGUEAR por toda la zona del cabo de gata y acabamos en la isleta. Después de un paseíllo vimos este restaurante y decidimos comer allí. Pedimos una ensalada Isoletta que estaba muy buena y en abundancia, una paella de marisco (que pone que es un restaurante de pizzas, pero vaya la paella estaba espectacular. Terminamos con unos postres caseros (mousse de chocolate y tarta de chocolate) deliciosos los dos y sus respectivos gin tonics. Botella de agua, dos cervezas, ensalada, paella para dos, dos postres y dos copas 65 euros Buenas vistas, buen ambiente, trato excelente (pq las camareras son majisimas) buena comida.. Lo recomendamos.
