Hi Rick
We have bought in La Ribera last year. We are in our 50s from Ireland. At the moment we use it as a holiday home but in due course the plan is to be here more.

Can you recommend any nice restaurants in La Ribera please?

Hi, there's an excellent fish restaurant called La Lonja on one of the side streets close to the sea front. Just off the main drag leading down to the sea - I believe it's called calle O'Shea believe it or not;-). A little pricey but v good and lovely staff. You may need help with the menu but they do have an English speaking waitress - we found it very confusing and unclear.

There is another really good place called Casa Araez (spellin may be a little off, apologies). It's in Pilar de la Horadado so you'll need a car but we've never been disappointed there and Encarna, the owner, is so welcoming and professional. Frequented by Belgians in the main and a lovely interior. Again, it's a little pricey too but for a special treat you won't go wrong there. Also, just outside Pilar if you Google Rebate, its in a beautiful setting with high palm trees and ducks and even peacocks.. It has an interesting history and we like the good there very much. Gorgeous on a sunny day.

If you like Asian there are a good few very good ones up near La Zenia in Torrevieja - only 20 mins. on the motorway.

I'm sorry I don't know that many places in Santiago itself but there is an excellent pizzaria called La Placa, Google Maps will get you there, it's in San Javier. Again it features a lovely interior and really good staff and not too pricey. If I think of any more I'll let you know

Enjoy your new property in Santiago - we have a place next door in Lo Pagan and are Irish too. If you come across anywhere you'd like to recommend please let me know too - we're always on the hunt for nice places.

Cheers Ann

There is another

Hello. In our mid-60's, from Ireland also, in La Ribera for 4 years now. Best restaurants in La Ribera are:

Carmen Playa - Michelin quality food in a most unlikely setting. Pricey for La Ribera but significantly less than Irish prices.

Asador de Sierra Carzola - mainly grilled meats, the clue is in the name

La Lonja - mainly a fish restaurant

Casa Pedro - traditional

Thank you for this post Conor. Timely too as we will be returning from Ireland next month.

One you might like in lo Pagan is Rubio 360, lovely views of the Mar Menor & a little further in Pilar de la Horadado is Casa Aarez - like you say, a little pricier than most but never had a disappointing dining experience there & definitely well below Irish prices which have reached jaw dropping levels this year. No views but a lovely restaurant professionally run.
