In the name of impartiality, I feel it only right to declare my vested interest in this month’s restaurant review. Having proudly been a (minority) shareholder in La Sala Group for over a decade, I always feel a tad conflicted when I am asked to be constructive with my observations of the food offering for one of their new venues. 

Anyone fortunate enough to have visited the 5 star Kempinski Hotel Bahía in Estepona will testify to the quality of the food. The breakfast buffet alone is worth staying the night for. A team of in house chefs preparing perfect fluffy pancakes and every form of omelette imaginable for guests to pair with exotic fruit and oven baked breads with pots of fresh coffee. A great start to any day. 

San Pedro Paseo has long been associated with its eclectic mix of outdoor sporting pursuits . In just the last month of morning walks I have witnessed yoga ,volleyball ,boxing, football, keep fit, pro swimmers, a plethora of personal trainers and even the occasional tightrope walker perched precariously between two trees!

Nomad’s chef, Alexandru Cracuin, takes customers on a gastronomic journey into the world of fine dining. In this interview, we find out about his love of Wagyu, his time living in Japan and what it’s really like working for the hot-headed infamous chef, Gordon Ramsey.

Having lived in our great city for over 15 years, the only thing I really miss about my former home was a good Chinese restaurant. That particular lure ended with the opening of Mao in 2021. 

I cherish Christmas. It is the month of celebrations. I love everything about the season, from opening up advent calendars to putting up decorations. Seeing friends and family socially to spend hours on cooking because, well, it is Christmas and definitely worth celebrating!

The biggest dilemma facing lovers of the classic traditional Sunday roast is always what to choose … not anymore!  Team La Sala now offer a positively genius sharing platter.  Whether you are an intimate party of 4, a family of 8, or possibly planning your Xmas parties for staff and fancy a grandiose platter for 18 people, they have you covered.
