Arquilla Restaurante

Let's start with the positives.

Service was excellent. Friendly and just at the right pace.

The menu is very creative, and very promising with lots of traditional Spanish dishes, but all with a twist of imagination.

The starters were great, which made us look forward to the main course. Sadly it all went downhill from there.

Starters portions were very generous, so be careful when you order. The salad in the photo is a small portion, and it was enough for all 4 of use to have some.

There were 4 of us, and 3 ordered fish. All 3 were overcooked, and sauces that came with them were full of so much salt that you could hardly taste the fish or the sauce. They did my wife's fish without salt (she is not allowed salt), but the fish was overcooked like the other 2.

I ordered the beef cheek, which looked delicious and smelled wonderful. It was cooked beautifully and tender. It just fell apart, but the sauce was so salty that the only thing I could taste was the salt. I scraped the sauce off the meat, to find beautifully cooked meat full of flavour. Why put so much salt in the sauce and ruin a great dish??

I had to mention it to the waitress before we left, because it was disappointing to have a good dish ruined by over-salting it.

You can always add salt, but you cannot take it off once you pour it in the sauce.

Would we go again? Probably not, but if we go again, we will order loads of starters instead.

We have been coming here regularly for breakfast, the menu has an excellent choice.
Carla and Maria provide a great service.
As for the evening meals where there is a brand new menu, the food is amazing cooked by such a passionate chef (Juan).
This will become our regular restaurant.

We visited with friends who recommended as they had been a few times.
Excellent service from Alessandra who was helpful and professional.
The young Chef Juan came out to speak with us. What a lovely young man who had true passion for his food and the quality of the meat he serves.
He has chosen a career he loves and wants to progress in so really deserves support.
It was very quiet the day we went so I truly hope that they will succeed and become one of the top restaurants. Because it was so quiet it did lack atmosphere sadly.
All the food was well presented and flavoursome.
Give it a go, I don’t think you will be disappointed.

Lovely experience, went with my family. Highly recommend for big family’s 😊

For starters we had batatas bravas(10/10) that were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and the 2 sauces we got on top of the batatas were amazing, after that we had croquettes de jamón(10/10) that were very smooth and creamy and at the end I had a medium-rare(Al Punto menos) Angus(10/10) it was cooked to perfection with a fantastic taste and the juices where sealed inside perfectly, even though there weren't any sides included with the Angus the starters(great portion size) were enought to fill us(we where with 5 people)
