Restaurant Guide
MONKEY STEAKHOUSE AND PIZZA, CALANOVA
I always recommend this excellent restaurant to friends visiting the island. It is a favourite with locals and has a pretty terrace offering an inventive menu of freestyle fusion cooking, gourmet pizzas and sumptuous sizzling grills, together with their friendly and helpful service. Vegetarian friendly and gluten free options. Their outstanding chopped liver pate available to order! Checkout their Facebook website for full menu. Their moto is: Food is the Universal Language; and they speak it fluently to the highest standards! Opposite Calanova Port above Mojo Bar. From 13hr. Tel: 971 405 115/606 449 939.
LA PESCADERIA DE ANDI, SAN AGUSTIN
Sadly temporarily closed due to a limited outbreak of Covid-19 within its staff. Although there is no requirement by law to close, the Pescaderia de Andi team decided that for the safety of their staff and customers it would take drastic extra precautions. Health Authority instructions clearly state any staff members who have had close contact with a positive Covid case (unless fully vaccinated) must isolate at home for 10 days and take two PCR tests. However, they believe that to take it a step further and close completely is the most responsible action. During this time restaurant staff members will isolate at home and be PCR tested prior to returning to work. Meanwhile the premises will be thoroughly disinfected with a health inspection to take place before hopefully reopening its doors on July 22nd. Bookings are still being taken for its fun Caribbean Theme Night scheduled for July 30th. A night of music with Omar Niang, Caribbean cooking and tropical cocktails! Bookings online or WhatsApp on 687 329 671. www.andi.es.
