We’ve been to this restaurant several times in the last couple of years and it’s always reliable. The outside space is lovely with no obvious disturbance from being close to the road. It’s a good menu with a wide choice though maybe some change could...be welcome. The pasta is always excellent, as is the carpaccio. There were some Moroccan specials on the night we were there which were very good.More

We was a family of 10 and I managed to secure a last minute table on the beautiful terrace the morning of our visit via Instagram. The host was extremely accommodating our large table and requested high chair and supplied all the menus over Instagram...to ensure they had something that would cater our age range for our party and then booked us in straight away. The setting of the restaurant is absolutely beautiful over looking the mountains an absolute hidden treasure, I recommend visiting as the sun is setting. The food was cooked to perfection, the lamb chops were so tasty as was the pasta, clearly homemade and a lot of care is taken into the food. The brownie for desert is also a must have. As a large family we have struggled a lot with feeling welcomed into restaurants in the area and the 2 gentlemen who looked after us made us feel so welcome, even engaging with the younger children and providing them with sweets, unfortunately we didn’t find this place until our last night or we easily could have visited every night as it was a very short drive to our villa.More

We’ve been a few times to this lovely location with great outside space Although the atmosphere and service have always been good, this is the first time that I thought the food was excellent. Go for the pasta!!

We went to La Paloma for lunch and sat on the terrace. Surrounded by trees and with a great view towards distant mountains. Service was quick and attentive and the food beautifully cooked and presented. Certainly one of the best restaurants in the area, if...not the best. We will be back to try other menu items and one of the cocktails. Possibly dinner and stay the night in one of the rooms.More

Very nice countryside hotel with restaurant. We were the only guests, but nevertheless everything on the menu was available and the dishes we tried were really great! Fruit salad with scallops, gambas pil-pil, grilled meat. The iberico was exceptional!

We went with a group of friends for my birthday celebration. Very professional and charming, attentive service. The Covid rules were strictly adhered to & the whole place was super clean. The menu is refreshingly varied for this part of Spain with some nice pasta...dishes and interesting salads in addition to the typical meats. Stand out dishes have to be the Grilled King Prawns......deliciously sweet & huge), Pastel be Berenjenas & the entrecote steaks. We all (10 people) enjoyed our choices). Good wines too. Highly recommended. Lovely relaxed atmosphere out on the terrace.More

We liked this place so much we went two evenings on the trot. Fairly simple menu but very nice quality and very attractive setting. The pear and Parmesan salad starter is a must. Good value.

Randomly chose this as a stop for lunch on our way into Granada just because our daughter shares the same name. So happy we did! Beautiful space with views of the landscape. Conveniently just off the autovía... The food was delicious and the service was...extremely warm and inviting... impeccably clean and the bathrooms had a very comfortable changing table for little ones. Apparently this is also a hotel, so should we find ourselves on this route we would look into staying overnight...More
