Los Hervideros restaurant

Los Hervideros is one of the most popular restaurants in Playa Blanca. We think it is a hidden gem. It is often full and it is advisable to book in advance otherwise you might be disappointed, It is a very authentic Spanish restaurant and not at all touristy.The decor is basic but definitely has a local feel about it It does attract a lot of British who are resident in this resort and customers on holiday who return every year which speaks volumes for the food. Repeat customers is always a good sign. It is hidden and not easy to find but the easiest way to describe getting there is from the roundabout in the town centre turn left away from the pedestrianised precinct and by the Pharmacy take the first turning on the left. The food is top notch and the service is friendly. The only criticism is the food delivery is a little slow so do not eat here if you are in a rush but you are on holiday so what is the hurry just relax. The atmosphere is very nice and fairly sedate. In the main it attracts couples or groups of 4 but if required and booked in advanced they can accommodate larger parties by joining tables together. In our experience it is not really a place for families and we haver not seen any children eating here. We can recommend the Lamb Cutlets which we believe is their best seller and their home made beef stew a house speciality. There are other house specialities on the menu including some fish dishes. The meat/fish portions are generous but the vegetable portions are poor.You get the choice of Canary Potatoes or Chips with each meal. Try the Flambee Bananas for dessert they are delicious. Depending on where you are sitting the tables can be close together. It is not a large restaurant and probably been in existence in the resort since the 1980's. If visiting Playa Blanca in our option a meal at this restaurant is a must. You will enjoy the experience and food. The cost is about average for the resort. We would suggest if ordering wine you avoid the house wine which is a bit rough and served in a jug and pay a shade more for a bottle of wine. Los Hervideros is one of our favourite restaurants in the resort and carries our strong recommendation
