Review by AK
Now under new management I had heard so many good things about Café Olé and, in particular, their specialty nights so I thought I would try out the American Independence Night Celebration on 4th July. Good choice and 3 of us ate extremely well for just under €6o including drinks. First course was a platter of chicken wings, potato wedges, sweet corn (buttery and very nice) and garlic bread. Two of us then had sirloin steak and one a rack of ribs, accompanied by chips or jacket potato a side salad and homemade coleslaw. The meal was rounded off by profiteroles and homemade Florida orange cheesecake. We did not go hungry at all as each course was a very generous. I would even recommend the house red. Wil we go again – very definitely – yes!!!
Café Olé is located a bit further along the one way system from Plaza Baca.

Review by NKC
5 of us went here, we booked as we saw that quite a number of tables were pre-booked. Entrefogones is a very modern and well designed restaurant. It has been very well fitted out. The restaurant is opposite Ardiles. There were tables outside on the pavement and some tables in the bar. There were two salons and a mezzanine on the 1st floor.
All very good food. I had the Huevos and Solomillo which were both excellent. The salmon was so big that we took 65% home in a 'doggy bag' for the cats. The service was very good and friendly.

We went to the Crazy Cod on the 5th May and had a very good meal. We had top quality haddock prepared and served by two top professionals who have been in the fish and chip business for over 30 years.
There is a 10% service charge if you eating in so no tip is needed.

Review by NKC
The best way to find it is to take the 'Low Road' out past Repsol Petrol Station to Coin and at the 4 km post, slow down and take the second dirt road on the right (no sign post).
Very Good place - modern, well laid out. Very friendly, they had a good selection of Tapas on the counter bar. There were 2 of us eating and we had:
Starters
Aguacate con Gambas
Stuffed Peppers
The Aguacate had been scraped out and then returned to their shells. Unusual and it had a splash of 1000 island sauce.
The peppers should have been stuffed with white fish but instead it was a kind of orange puree but it was a fair attempt.
Mains
Chicken
Stroganoff with rice
The chicken was a good portion but tasted of nothing much.
The regular stroganoff was pork but they volunteered to make mine of beef.
Fair to middling attempt - the beef was cut TOO small and the sauce was a bit pink.
Very Good Bottle of wine - Chinchilla from Ronda at 18.00 euro.
We also had 2 bottles of water and 2 very good coffees (black).
Both the wine and coffees were served very professionally i.e. the wine was opened at the table and I was offered the cork to see and smell.
The coffees had an extra jug of hot water with them.
Total = 62.00 euro
plus tip of 6 euro.
