We visited this bar with friends following their previously good experience. Both they and we were disgusted at our experience this time. There were 9 of us in total and we reserved our table in advance. We ordered a variety of meals and received around 4 meals first. All of these had undercooked, cold chips and freezing cold meat/fish which we sent back to be recooked . I had tuna which was SWIMMING in oil, so much so that I had to use a napkin to soak the food before eating. Around an hour after ordering, after the first 4 plates had been received, we were told that salmon (ordered by two of us) was not available. This is not acceptable to be told 1 hour after ordering and after other part...
When I read the most recent 3 reviews before mine, I was a bit concerned about whether to go or not. All our previous experiences of Bar Calnegre have been good, but they do predate the Covid situation. Anyway, I was very pleased that we ignored the most recent reviews, because we had a very nice lunch there. Nothing much has changed since our last visit in 2018, except for the addition of a permanent sunshade structure over the tables on the beach. We were delighted to see this as it presumably means that the Ley de Costas people have now accepted that the bar can legitimately have tables on the beach. (There was at least one occasion in the past when we were sitting eating on the beach and...
Having visited with some friends who has previously had a good experience, the same could not be said for our visit. To keep a very long story short, half the food turned up, for the other half to be told at that point there was none of theirs left. The food which came out was cold to a point at which it was inedible. They did go an warm it up, which still came sooner than the other dishes. Unfortunately, it appears the technique used to warm the food up involved large amounts of olive oil which created a decent size pool all over the plate. To add to this, the pork served was raw. When the remaining dishes came out, they came at fifteen intervals after already waiting an hour and a quarter...
Certainly no service with a smile, more a scowl. The ham and cheese starter was had to chew and fatty. My husbands main course was mixed grill from the a la carte menu. Pretty much all of the meat was fatty, only just cooked and inedible and does not come with any side dishes ie chips or veg. My main was grilled sea bream which was served in a bath of oil with a few sliced potatoes and over cooked aubergine slices. Both dishes were completely over salted. The best part was a decent bottle Of wine. We did complain but the complaint was completely ignored. All in all a very disappointing birthday lunch and not cheap at 49€ for two. We will not be returning.
