Fantastic experience: Super nice tent where everything is possible.. delicious food and drinks!
Fantastic experience: Delicious eaten! Everything looks and tastes beautiful. After dinner we had a drink at the lounge area at the front. It also looks very cozy and beautiful. Just missed a bit of music but maybe this wouldn't be heard because it's noisy. After a lot of bad experiences glad we discovered this place! Service was okay by the way. You can see that they are busy and that is why you often have to call for attention yourself if you need something.
Fantastic experience:
All good and courteous staff. Beautiful sea view! I recommend the vegan burger!

Fantastic experience:
I have been visiting this restaurant for over 8 years, democratic prices, very friendly atmosphere, everything corresponds to the name, I recommend the hamburger with grilled meat and lingonberry sauce, it is delicious, beautiful presentation and huge portions. There are no bad wines, and champagne Ps. For those who didn't go to Mojito, then you probably need to go to the bar, here more pleasant conversations over good wine are calculated for family holidays, the children will be happy and most importantly, you can watch someone playing on the sand)) heavenly place,))

Fantastic experience:
Excellent restaurant in front of the beach, due to the high attendance it is recommended to go there from 7pm as reservations are not possible otherwise you will have to wait. The menu is rather small which is a very good sign: the dishes are mastered. As for the prices, the price-quality ratio is very correct except for the bottled water. Some waiters speak French, English and Spanish, you just have to ask and you can also leave with your dish if it has not been finished. Finally, there is a concert every Wednesday and Sunday, which adds a very pleasant atmosphere. If you want a good dinner by the sea, this is the place.

Fantastic experience: Great restaurant with Dutch owners. You can eat and drink deliciously. Highly recommended! And a very friendly service. We've been coming here for a few years now...
Fantastic experience:

Fantastic experience:
Great restaurant. On the first line from the sea, great views. Reasonable prices, delicious dishes, large portions. One salad with a reserve is enough for two, so many dishes have the opportunity to order half a portion. I especially recommend tissana, real, without sugar and juice, as in many places in Playa. The waiters are young and cheerful!

Fantastic experience: The Friend's Lounge and Restaurant is from a Dutch couple I think. We were helped by the owner. We saw a spot at the front, from which we could keep a close eye on our children playing on the beach, we were wonderfully seated. Service was great and the food exquisite. Everything was slightly different than elsewhere and that made it extra delicious. The nachos and chicken sandwich are really recommended, the latter has been on the menu for 19 years! Prices are not too bad, not cheap but certainly not expensive either.
Fantastic experience:
Very charming and warm setting with a very ambient decor (especially the lights). Friendly staff, present and very attentive to its customers. We went there twice during our stay, the two nights when there was live music, very much appreciated by the public. The 2nd night we ate tapas; patatas bravas (the best we have eaten so far), crispy chicken fillets with curry sauce and Iberian ham with tomato bread very delicious. We are very happy to have discovered this very original bar! An address not to be missed!

Fantastic experience:
Warm welcome with a majority of French speaking waiters. The tapas and dishes are very good and plentiful with a decent price. We went there twice in 2 days. I highly recommend.

Fantastic experience:
The place is cozy, the sea views, great food, good food and service too. It's not too fast, but with the number of people there, it's more than right. The hot and cold picapica are a good option to try a little all the starters, and with desserts, very good, we were very satisfied. We were 4. Recommended. We will return.

Very chic place, live music, terrace, abundant food, very good, although the prices a bit high, the nachos and exquisite hamburger. I loved. Waiters, some of them very nice and other edges that do not let you finish eating. (For those of us who eat slow) they take your plate away without asking. Super rest.
