Almerimar Restaurants - La Solea
March 17th, 2008 - Chris MarshallLa Solea has always been one of our favourite restaurants so it was a shame to see it ‘close’ but good to see that it had been taken over.
The inside looks pretty nice judging by these pictures, but I have to say I am disappointed by the menu - which is a little hard to see in the picture. In my view it is a very narrow choice and very expensive. Now it may well be the best food in the world but at those prices I think they will struggle.
We were thinking of trying it out this Friday but to be honest I am not sure there is anything on the menu that appeals (certainly at those prices) and I sort of can’t see the point of trying something that it is virtually certain wouldn’t become a regular haunt.
Let me give you some examples:
Jamón Ibérico 22€
Quaso Curado 18€
Tomate Rafe 15€
Chuletón de buey 25€
What I liked most about the ‘old’ La Solea was the balance of affordability and quality, and the way you could sit and share racionnes.
I wish the new owners well, but as I sait can’t really see the point or attraction of trying it out.
Approximate opening hours are 11.00 to 18.00 and 20.00 to 00.00, 6 days a week. Closed Tuesdays.

[...] La Solea used to be one of our favourite restaurants as it was extremely Spanish, did great food, and Paco and co have always looked after us very well. [...]
