Food Porn from La Plancha del Mar

Post by bevm »

We ate here Wed. night. It's without a doubt the best meal we've had. Highly recommended! And they have one of the coolest bars I've ever seen! They imbedded urchin shells in epoxy and illuminated them from below with lights..Really beautiful..

Yum yum!

They don't take credit cards? We almost never have cash on us and we ate there in January. Hmm...
It's like looking in your soup and finding a whole different alphabet.

someone posted a trip report that they had to leave and go to the ATM to get cash. I have no idea who it was though. I feel that is was someone who traveled alone recently - who was that?

We have eaten here 3 times and it is definitely one of our favorites! Try the ceasar salad, they put fried capers in it and it makes the salad. They also had a pineapple flambe with dark rum that was unbelievable! Husband likes the beef skewers and the Mojitas. They also have a nice wine list and everything is priced very well for St John. I just read about their Happy hour http://barnako.typepad.com/

This is a great place. We had the best meal of our April visit here. The food is very nicely done.

Cheers, RickG
