What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Bar Apolo is praised for its friendly atmosphere, excellent service, and generous portions of quality food, particularly its steaks and tapas. While many enjoy the cozy ambiance and value, some reviews suggest a recent change in food quality, with specific dishes not meeting previous expectations.
"A very good night. The waiting staff made an effort with us because our Spanish is limited. Tapas, sherry, wine and beer all excellent. The steaks were first class and reasonably priced. About £15 for a 200g steak. A busy place full of Spanish and our solitary English table. About £160 inches too for 5 people. Would definitely go back."
Alastair Ward
"Good place overall. Nice and cozy atmosphere. The staff correct and efficient. The meat was really good, the fried squids ok, tuna very good, and tortillitas average. 20€ per person."
Arsenio Fernandez
"We stumbled upon the Bar/restaurant Apolo by accident and we are so glad we did! It is situated in Puerto de Santa Maria, across the bay from Cadiz.
The food is top notch - we had Insalada Caesar and Insalada Apolo. They were really tasty, well presented and a very reasonable price.
The place is very clean and also has outside tables set under a protective canopy."
