Sometimes it's nice to go back to basics...just a large and succulent piece of seafood, perfectly cooked, some papas with well-made mojos, a view on the foaming sea, a nice local wine, and it can be bliss. Our main was a huge jurel denton (white...trevally, similar to what we Italians call a "dentice" mediterraneo, but larger and a perhaps a little milder tasting), whose firm and very firm flesh we shared. The amount could have served three or four, especially if you are used to Uk portions... It came after starters of a wonderful, tender and moist, piece of octopus, and fried moray eel, not the easiest fish to clean, but hey, if they do it...you can just enjoy the finely cut crispy and fat slivers, which are effectively "sea chips". To conclude, the usual Bienmesabe with icecream, this one too delightful in its simplicity. Service here can be sometimes quite slow, sometimes too fast, but these guys work hard as hell under enormous pressure, and they are always courteous and possibly even charming, especially "the boss". The amount of stuff we have would have cost more than twice as much what we paid in some places in the UK, but also in Spain. Because of its good value, accompanied by top quality, Casa Rafa was the fullest of the restaurants we saw in pretty El Golfo, with queues forming outside.More
