Restaurante La Vaca Azul

We came here for lunch, and it was okay overall. Nothing spectacular, but it was nice to sit on the veranda and enjoy the breeze. The upper level is decorated in blue and white, which looks great and adds a pleasant vibe. We had fresh fish, which was fine—not bad, but not particularly memorable either. Hard to say whether it was the fish itself or the preparation. The salad was nicely presented, the croquetas were okay. The mango panna cotta was tasty, while the cheesecake was average.

In El Cotillo, nice place right on seaside. We went for lunch and got a great table facing the seaside. Beautiful location and nice option in this area, and try to get a good table on the terrace. But, it seems to be pricing up for tourists, the moderately sized local fish was priced at 51 Euros for us, which is high compared to other seafood places in the area.

Had a very nice dinner here. They offer two vegetarian dishes that are extra listed as being without meat which was very nice. The tatin was very good, we were informed that it might take a while cause they make it fresh. The steak was good as well, ordered it medium but it arrived more like medium-rare. That wad totally fine though cause the quality of the product was very good and with the pepper sauce (big recommendation here) made a good dinner meal. Definitely try to make a reservation. We were lucky to get a table spontaneous but the waiter downstairs told us it was the only one available for walk ins this evening

We loved La Vaca Azul so much we ended up going twice during our stay in El Cotillo! On our first visit, my partner spoke in Spanish to one of the lovely staff members (I don’t speak Spanish) and mentioned that he was planning to propose to me that evening. He asked if we could have a table for dinner after the proposal, but unfortunately they were fully booked. Instead, the kind woman suggested we come the following evening – and when we did, they had set up a beautiful table for us, making the night truly memorable. We shared a paella for two (highly recommend – perfectly cooked and full of flavour), and we loved it so much that two days later we returned for the fish of the day, which was equally delicious. Fantastic food, a gorgeous setting and staff who go above and beyond – a place we’ll never forget. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had lunch here on a day out in El Cotillo. We got there as it opened and were given an amazing table overlooking the sea. The food was exceptional and given the quality very good value. The menu is primarily seafood, so I’m not sure why it’s called The Blue Cow

What a gem! Beautiful view (with sunset- ask for a terrace spot on the 1st floor), very good food (the squid was great, but also the vegetarian dish was very tasty), the personnel was the most attentive and friendly (they were also very good with kids and have a baby chair available). And all of that for a very affordable price. We’ve been here twice during our 7day stay because it was so good :) 12/10 recommendation!

Nice looking place to sit on the sea front plenty of tables, Moved on by staff due to only wanting drinks don't serve just drinks, all tables where empty at this time. Wife and 2 kids went around the corner to the next restaurant and sat and enjoyed a nice drink with friendly staff

Beautiful view, great service, great food! We ordered gazpacho, puntillas de calamar (fried tiny baby squid) and a paella mixta (with seafood and rabbit). Todo riquísimo! I have a peanut allergy and they list all of their allergens in their menu and also noted it down when I mentioned it.

Great food at a great location. We like to eat paella in every Spanish city we go to. The seafood paella at la vaca Azul truly was one of the best ones we have had ever. Full of fish and rice - we couldn't finish it as it was such a generous portion. Friendly staff. The small terrace has the best view from a cosy corner. Stop looking: you have found your typical local Spanish restaurant.
