Restaurant and Bar over looking a quiet inlet on The River Sal near Cavelossim. We visited during the day and it was really nice just sitting looking out over the river, while enjoying a meal and a drink. Plenty of wildlife to watch. I have not been there on an evening, however I understand that they have entertainment. Other friends have eaten there on an evening and tell me that it is excellent.

The original chef from Nagile has opened his own small resturant. It is fabulous. And Seymus is welcoming and freindly.

You'd think that a place like Plettenburg Bay would be full of places where you can buy some fresh fish for your braai, but think again. However, the local Tourist Information Office sent us off to Robberg Seafood Safari to satisfy our fishy requirements. It's on the outskirts of town, just off the N2 at the Plettenburg roundabout in the business park area. The selection of seafood is amazing with loads of unusual varieties such as Yellowtail, Kingklip, Kob, etc, with an excellent selection of shellfish, too. They make their own smoked fish, sell sushi, and have a small deli section. A good feature is being able to select your fish early in the day which they will then keep for you in the fridge for collection later on (saves the fish from spoiling if left in the car all day). There's a shop in Knysna, also.

It's actually in Argentiere, up the valley towards La Tour and from what I can tell, used to be a bit of a dive. But it's been totally overhauled by it's new owners and is rad! Lively with a great menu - the Indonesian pork was lush and a plain spaghetti, tomato and basil was really delicious. There is a back area with a big oak table and blackboards with the daily specials written in chalk. Not overtly English but not all tartiflette and chalet-style either. Worth checking out.

This restaurant is run by a women's cooperative and we were quite curious to try it. Not a cheap restaurant and located out of the Medina so with a supplementary cost of the taxi, but it deserves the visit. We had dinner with a reservation and the food quality was excellent. The menu is a la carte - a thing unusual for a Moroccan restaurant in Marrakech, so you can choose how much you want to eat. The dishes are beautifully prepared and distinctive. The pastilla of pigeon was wonderful and the lamb tagine was excellent too.

The Bell is a recently-renovated historic hotel on the banks of the River Stour in the beautiful medieval town of Sandwich.
The rooms are comfortable, the service is excellent and the food is outstanding with lots of local fish and seafood and Kent wine.
The renovation has been done sensitively. Although there are lots of modern touches, many original features have been revealed including high ceilings, stained glass and parquet floors.
It's less than two hours drive from London and great value for money.

I had a gorgeous Sunday lunch at the King Street Tavern the other day, and now I know why all the locals rave about it! Really tasty food, friendly staff and prompt service. Nice atmosphere too as it's was busy on a Sunday

This restaurant send a guide to your riad or hotel to walk you round there. You would never be able to find it otherwise.
The inside of the building is astonishing with huge high ceilings in very ornate mosaic style. All the waiters wear traditional costume and when we were there there was a large open log fire burning.
All in all an environment never to be forgotten.
The food was very good and was beautifully served.
This is a really nice and complete guide for restuarants and bars in Buenos Aires. It's in English too and provides you with good and helpful information about the places.
This neighbourhood wine bar/cafe has so many great things going for it: charming staff, the tiny menu (one soup, one tapas platter, one sandwich), interesting wine menu and cosy, super-relaxed ambiance. A great place to while away an hour or so on a chilly CPH day.

Although I love Thai food, by the end of two weeks I was ready for something else and La Fontana was a godsend. Fabulous salads, homemade pasta and grilled meats and fish. They also do pizza but I didn't get round to trying it despite going three times in as many days! Very reasonably priced wine which is very unusual in Thailand. Sebastiano the owner speaks several languages and makes you feel very welcome. All round excellent!

This pub/restaurant is a real find - some of the best food I've had outside of Michelin starred restaurants. It's not cheap, but the quality of cooking (all the food is homemade) and the environment justify the price tag (outrageous interior design!)

Simon's Town is a useful staging-post for coffee or lunch on the drive from Cape Town to Boulders Beach (penguins) or Cape Point. The base of the South African Navy since 1957, and the home of the Royal Navy before that, the main street is worth a tour of its antique and art shops. For lunch, we took the advice of a local shop owner and headed to Bertha's, which is right on the dockside, so close you could dangle your toes in the harbour waters. We watched a flotilla of novice canoeists paddle edgily around the harbour while we sampled delicious sushi from the extensive list of seafood on the menu.

La Puntilla is another of the typical Spanish tapas bars and restaurants in the mainly Spanish populated part of town.
Highly recommended if you want to sample the tapas and the atmosphere of the town, it will serve you a tapas when you order a drink and don't be frightened to ask for it if they are busy and not offering you one quick enough.
You can also eat lunch and dinner at tables on the street or the roof terrace if it is very busy, again because of the quality of the food this is a very busy restaurant but you never have to wait long for a table. When there is food football on the television you will find the locals come out in numbers,especially if it is Spanish team involved,not to be missed.

Bar Dolores (El Chispa) is a bar/restaurant where the speciality is fresh fish and shellfish. They will also serve you a tapas with every drink ordered in the bar.
There is a seperate area for eating if you want to get away from the noise of the lively bar.
This is another of the local haunts in a prominently Spanish part of town, they have large screens for all the major football tournaments.
I would recommend you search this one out if you want to get away from the main tourist areas, with a little research you will find this part of town has a lot going for it.

Pinocchio is a very busy restaurant and if you eat there you will understand why. Most people come back more than once while in Nerja. It has something for all the family and in the summer or warmer weather you can sit out on the garden patio.
The menu has pasta, pizza, fish and meat, they also have a selection of starters to suit everyone. If you are in a large party I would recommend booking if it is possible,but as the place is so busy in the summer they may not accept booking unless you are a regular,so turning up early in the evening would near guarantee a table. They are also open late, so if you like eating late you can usually get a table. It is busy all the year round with the expat community who live there.The staff are very friendly and there is warm friendly atmosphere.
Parking is at the rear but you cannot enter direct for the carpark,it is the largest free carpark in the town,you drive in via the Bahia area of town and you have various exits on foot,to get near to the exit for Pinocchio's you drive towards the palm tree with the lights on it and in the corner you will find the exit that brings you out right next to the restaurant.

"El Breine" is a"Chiringuito" beach bar/restaurant on the"Playa El Playazo"at the edge of town in the direction of Torrox.
They serve one of,if not the best Paella in Nerja,they also have a full menu of all the usual dishes served in the area, plus a fish of the day that is cooked over wood.
You are advised to get there early for lunch as the paella goes fast, the parking is free and should be used as it is illegal to park on the beach.
Access is via the N340 between Nerja and Torrox. You turn into the Marinas de Nerja Hotel and drive along the front and down the side until you reach the beach, then turn left and drive along about 500 metres. I highly recommend this place if you like paella.
