Restaurante Al Lago

Tonight, we took took a thirty minute drive to the small village of Zahara de la Sierra, with the intention of dining out at a restaurant recommended age's ago by our friends Dave and Heather, who sadly now have returned to the UK.
This is Zahara pictured from the road across the dam.

We arrived at the restaurant at about 8.15 and not surprisingly were the first customers. It is not usual to eat out until at least 10 or 10.30, a habit we are finding difficult to get into. However, within an hour of our arrival, all the outside tables were taken, mainly by non Spanish nationals.
From the menu, it was clear why. On Friday and Saturday nights only, Indian cuisine is on the menu which is what Dave and Heather had recommended.


All the outside tables had a view across the lake so we sat down, had a drink and ordered our food. Mine a prawn and octopus curry and for Anne a chicken curry and we have to say it was absolutely delicious. The desserts were also outstanding.
Most definately a restaurant worthy of another visit, not only for the food but also for the staff, who were friendly and attentive.

Thanks, Dave and Heather. If you read this as I know you both did occasionally, we send you our best wishes. Our thoughts are with you and we hope all is well with you both. Drop us a line when you can.
