Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Restaurant worth visiting if you are in the area of Vera playa. The price quality ratio is high but you will not be disappointed, either by the quality of the genres or by the service that is very professional and fast / attentive.
We had a tomato salad with avocado, some spectacular clams, and a salted sea bass at its point with a perfect presentation and the vegetable side very rich. The highly recommended dessert milleaves. There is no room for surprises in the end and everything is predictable. Price +50 € x person. During the week they have a menu of the day that I found very interesting, we will try it another time. 100 x 100 recommended and we will return.
One detail to consider very highly, and that is the emergency telephone number of mistreatment in the services; it says a lot and well of your address; all help in this matter is always welcome.

The place is spectacular, all super careful and very clean. They have a daily menu for 20€ and separate drinks for more than 3€ a cane.
Very good quality in all the dishes we were served, waiters with training in hospitality school, did not lack detail at all times.
The menu is not exactly cheap, but the quality is extraordinary.
We'll be back on special occasions.

From the moment we walked into the restaurant we were made to feel very special. The place is spotlessly clean but warm & inviting and the camareros are brilliant. One must have just overheard it was one of our parties birthday and a cake with a candle plus free glasses of cava arrived ! The food was amazing and with2 tinto veranos plus wine and a cerveza plus 3 excellent courses each the total bill was only 96 Euro. Best restaurant in Vera and Mojacar !

We have been here several times but it is getting very bad. The food was always expensive but now even more, the quality is not as good and the service after the initial order is very poor. It took 20 minutes to get attention to order coffee, then 25 minutes for it to appear (after complaining). We were brought one cup with the coffee cold and one empty cup. The waiter put the cups down and walked away before we had the chance to say anything. We recommend you avoid.

We visited this restaurant for an 80th birthday celebration for my Dad. He lives locally and had been recommended the restaurant for a special celebration. We had flown from as far as Australia to be together as a family. When we arrived we had to wait for our table to be sorted and despite the restaurant being 25% full it was quite a wait. We were not offered a drink just left standing. My elderly Dad cannot stand for any length of time so perched on a tall chair by a free table. One of the staff came along and told him to get off the chair despite there being no one there as it was reserved. I explained to the waiter he was elderly and couldn’t stand for any length of time and he rudely waived the reserved sign. There was absolutely no one around - waiting or at that table - I am disgusted at how he was treated. When we sat down we were advised the menu is on a QR code, I again explained that we were eating with elderly people could we have a paper menu, the staff were less than impressed and said the paper menus had the wrong prices on them, I explained again that my Dad is elderly, my mother has Alzheimer’s it’s impossible to choose from a phone. Two paper menus were brought for 6 of us, we shares them and it was taking while so we asked for more paper menus and eventually they brought out 5 menus for the six of us. THe setting is nice, it looks like a super restaurant, the food was average, they did offer a free cake and some cava as they knew it was his birthday but I was so disgusted that anyone could treat an elderly man with such disrespect for no good reason. Absolutely would not return and would not recommend to anyone. I have never written a trip Advisor review about any restaurant good or bad but was so disgusted at how they could treat an elderly man on his birthday

Having always been my favourite restaurant in the area, last night 25 February 2025 didn't disappoint for my 70th birthday celebrations with my husband and friends. Food, service atmosphere and price - all excellent. Thank you for making it a very special occasion.

Very nice decor.good welcome.excellent meat but very few vegetables for a dish at 35 euros is disappointing.
Very fast service, barely finished the aperitif the dish arrives, my husband serves wine the waiters removed the bottle immediately. Very friendly waiters but we were bitter on the way out.

This is a lovely restaurant. All of the waiters and waitresses made us feel very welcome with our two year old. I think the waiters name was Baz but he was incredible with our daughter (kept making her laugh). Food was good. I had a black Angus steak (did ask for medium rare and it was more on the blue side but it was still nice). Husband had a fillet steak and he enjoyed his. Also brought over a shot for our daughter (obviously non alcoholic!) and some sweets which I thought was a lovely touch. Would definitely return.

They were fully booked on a Saturday night so we started with pre dinner drinks at 23.30 .
We shared three excellent courses (including cod cheeks - new to me) a bottle of Clarete, fascinating desert which included white chocolate soup . And finally coffee back on the terrace at 1.30 . Totally enjoyable experience

It is long to explain, but it is not fiction. Today's experience in Lua veramar has been hidden camera, it is the third time we go the first good, the second regular (of 3 things we asked for from the letter, two were not) and this third worst q lousy
They serve us the first, all right, the second, of course q of 6 seconds ,2 there were, take exactly 53min to bring them after claiming them 4 times (they told us q in 3 min they were, after q had lost the command last 3 times I was plating, after the seconds, the secret of acorn very very hard, impossible for that meat to be acorn, the waiter arrives and tells us that desserts were invited. We ordered 4 milleaves,2 white chocolate soups,lucky ours q no milleaves,change and tell us that there is no tiramisu either, they bring us what they want,surprise ours q we ask for the bill and charge us desserts, we claim them and take the bill,the waiter comes again and tells us that the glasses are also invited by the house, he puts the glasses on us and they bring us the bill again with the desserts, we tell them that the desserts are not going to pay them, since we were invited and also q brought us the only thing they had, after we put ourselves in place, we paid dinner and the glasses there stayed, shameful service, shameful situation and shameful response by the manager I never go back in, the worst experience in a restaurant we have had and q is not cheap, for that service so poor

The food is excellent quality. We had menu del dia . Not huge portions but the flavour was outstanding.
Service is always exemplary even for lunchtime you are treated as if you are spending three times the amount
This is the go to restaurant in the area in my opinion
Also free tapas with your non alcoholic lager as well as any alcoholic drink

Such a stunning environment to have a drink and a meal. It was our first time visit and won’t be our last. We use Lua in Mojacar as it’s closer to where we live and is also great.
Let’s be clear this is not a typical menu del dĂa, it’s quality food and service in a stunning setting. We had hot bread and a chef quiche taster which was enough for us to just order main courses. Two of us had suckling pig at €22 which was amazing, my wife had a roast leg of Lamb which was also great. My brother in law who moans about most things said the Angus steak was the best he has ever had which was €29. We also share the Chantilly cream desert which again was superb.
We will definitely return here as the food was so good as was the service. Well done to the whole team.

Special thanks to our waiter, an older gentleman with a small white beard , very nice and very helpful.
We enjoyed very good food. Starters, dishes and desserts TOP.
A selection of wine worthy of the name.
Congratulations to the whole team

We landed here after hearing the music on a Sunday late afternoon. We had a few cocktails and enjoyed the show so we decided to stay for supper. The service was impeccable and the food was excellent. Although only opening the kitchen at 8 pm is a tad late for us north Americans. This is a little pricier than some of the other restaurants but it is also a little classier. We would go back for a special occasion.

We really liked this restaurant that we were recommended, moreover, we repeated two nights. Of note, the appetizer you get if you are just going for a drink and the attentive and friendly treatment of all the waiters. The first time we went to dinner on a Sunday and many dishes of the menu that were no longer left since they close on Mondays, something that surprised us being the end of July. We still got to choose others and had a very nice dinner. Then repeat another day. Recommended ravioli, old cow, dobaballo loin and suckling pig. So are the sorbets.
