Opinions about Where to Eat in La Herradura
Our new favorite
Very good experience at MarDela. The food is outstanding, with a fantastic mushroom risotto, grilled meat, and desserts. The salads also stand out.
The atmosphere is cozy, and the service is attentive and professional. The owners greet customers with great warmth.
They offer a kids' menu and provide crayons and coloring mats to keep the little ones entertained while they wait.
A find that has definitely become our top choice.
A pleasant lunch
We enjoyed a wonderful lunch during a recent visit to Bola Marina. The food, well-presented and delicious, along with a cold beer and a pleasant atmosphere, made the experience very enjoyable. The friendly and personable service is a major plus.
However, we have noticed a significant increase in prices. Although it’s not the most budget-friendly restaurant, the quality of the dishes and the setting justify the cost.
La Gaviota, a charming spot by the sea
A charming spot with pleasant views and a relaxed atmosphere by the sea, next to a beach ideal for snorkeling. We enjoyed a delicious fried fish, gambas pil pil, and house salad, although the portions were a bit small.
