What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Restaurante la Viña de Ale is highly praised for its imaginative Spanish dishes, excellent wine selection, and friendly service, offering great value and generous portions. While most diners enjoy the lively atmosphere and delicious food, some reviews mention difficulties in securing indoor seating reservations.
"So, full disclosure. We were headed to the Indian restaurant beside this establishment and walked into the wrong door. Being Canadian and by the time we realized that it was the wrong spot, olives were already on the table...what a fortuitous mistake... The folks here are friendly and attentive. Food was fast, drinks were fast and the attention to detail. I mean, the gentleman who is setting the tables is using a slide rule....( Not really, but almost..)
Charming little spot. We had the house red which was great, the bread which we paid for was to die for as were the Olives!
I had the white asparagus with salmon. Such delicate flavors with the capers and a sour cream/ mayo sauce. So good. Also, the goat cheese and bacon stuffed red peppers with salt flakes. The flavors are delicate and delicious.
We will be back....Thank you!"

"Beautiful restaurant, great service and fantastic food. A delightful option for the kid's meal is a mini selection of adult options on one plate. Kids loved being able to eat similar food to adults. Recommendations on menu and drink options from staff were super. Highly recommended."
Calvin Kissane
"Probably the best restaurant in the area…!
Efficient and friendly staff, the courses are modern and excellent - cheers to the Chef.
Ambience is lovely. Crowded every nights in the week. So, make your reservations and be there. When they change the electronic wine list to an old school, you will get your fifth star…😁😉
Highly recommended!
Ricardo"

The 6 Best Gluten-Free Brunch Spots in Torremolinos
My score cannot be indicative since I have not been able to taste the products offered in this establishment. I simply wanted to use the "Reviews" space to complete the information about the gluten-free possibilities that can be tasted at this place. To say that they do indeed have gluten-free options, but they do not have the means to ensure that when they are served, the much-feared cross-contamination has not occurred.
