Table with a view sir? Well, that’s the only type of table you get when you dine on the terrace at Iguana Playa. Situated at the far end of El Pozuelo Beach in Taramay, Almuñécar, it truly is a stunning location.
But don’t let the location fool you into thinking this is just a glorified beach bar, pushing out a bit of mixed salad and a few chips. Dimitri, Yannis and their father Nico put out dishes of the highest quality, made from fresh ingredients and prepared with creativity and flair that you would normally only expect from a top city restaurant.
The food does lean towards French and Greek cuisine, but there is something here for everyone, and in fact, on my last visit, I had the Iguana Burger, which I can only describe as a work of art, and believe me, to say it was juicy and very tasty would be somewhat of an understatement.
The other preconception about this place is that, as the food is so good and the location so great, the price is bound be high… Well, there are a couple of menus on a table outside, so you can check out the great value for money before you even go in!
Literally five steps from the beach, you can hire a sun-lounger at the bar, and just pop in and out all day for food and drinks… bliss. I love this place, and the guys are great company, and the food is fantastic. Just don’t mention football or the conversation could be a lengthy one!
This place is very popular in the summer months, so make sure you book your evening meal on 958 88 00 14.
