Restaurant Andra Mari

RIPPED OFF BY THE RESTAURANT – MICROWAVE FOOD If you want to try quality food, I recommend you rule out the Andra Mari restaurant and go to any other bar in Campello. We had to speak with the restaurant management after ordering a tasting menu that turned out to be an absolute scam for foreigners: a blood sausage “crunch” poorly reheated in the microwave (cold on the inside); tuna belly with three leaves of bagged salad and some canned red peppers with two olives that were past their best; pig’s trotters reheated again in the microwave (which wouldn’t stop beeping) with a sauce that had clearly been made long before (lumpy sauce and frozen mushrooms); a sirloin steak that I hope was at least cooked to order, covered with yet another pre-made, reheated sauce and some limp, bagged French fries that had been reused and reheated; tough cod with, once again, a sauce reheated in the microwave; and finally the dessert, which was the only thing that was edible. The dishes came out within a minute, and all you could hear was the microwave beeping (there was only one other table in the restaurant). Poor service, and the way our complaints were handled was even worse: they admitted reheating all the sauces because “they are not a Michelin-star restaurant,” and that the crispy items had been defrosted. We didn’t even receive an apology. A tasting menu priced at €55 per person. Think twice before going there.

Good food, the entrecote were great and the bacalao al pilpil tased great altough it is served without any sides such as salad or potato which takes away from the experience. The same goes for the quisquillas, they where served plain without seasoning or any sauce and altough the ingredients were good, they do not really carry the dish. A tad overpriced for the experience.

The steak here is marvellous, a great cut of beef cooked beautifully. Service friendly and efficient. Desserts were banging mush. Thanks very much.

A very nice restaurant. The pepper steaks were delicious. Not to mention the red fruit and crunchy cake desert

Absolutely the worst meal I’ve ever had. Weirdly indifferent service from the waiter, who seemed not to care in the slightest about his job or our experience. The room we were seated in was boiling hot, and silent. When a couple of other tables cams in it was very close and awkward. The menu was accessed via a laminated QR code on the table; it’s a jumbled mess of different menus, it seems compulsory to choose a set menu, several of which apparently need to be ordered in advance. We chose the tasting menu as we reasoned this would have the dishes on it that the kitchen were proudest to cook. We were gravely mistaken. Weird greasy plate after weird greasy plate arrived. These were removed having been tried and abandoned by us; the disinterested waiter seemed unsurprised. I’ve no idea what we ate, the stuff that appeared didn’t seem to match the menu we’d chosen. There were deep fried brown spring roll looking things with grey gunge, a greasy tuna salad, some raw mincy floury pork things, steak and chips drowned in beige sauce, the saltiest cod I’ve ever tasted (no it wasn’t bacalao, it was fresh), and finally a bizarre rubbery desert with balls of kiwi doused in cinnamon and ringed with golden syrup. Not even worth it for a funny story, just pop into Lidl on the way and get some nice nibbles instead.

Only things I had was Russian salad and fish croquettes but would been better if had veggie food I don’t really like it here the best nice it so expensive just for a small russsian salad 7 euros like omg

The welcome was less enthusiastic as we asked to sit at the terrace as did some other people and one of the waitresses didn't seem to be happy with that. But the food and the service we got after that made more then up for it. Spectacular solomio !

The most gorgeous Basque restaurant in El Campello. Posh and expensive, but in a really lovely way. Family owned and oriented. You will get looked after and made to feel like a millionaire. Fabulous wine and spirits range with a knowlegable owner/manager. Basque specialist cuisine like Bacaloa Al Pil-pil...and sweets like Goxua. A culinary delight.
