After going g to most of the restaurants above the fountains we decided to have a meal at Raymond’s. It was ok. Sadly I had the fillet steak with bernaise sauce and the sauce was the worst concoction I have ever tasted in my life. I wrongly assumed it would be in a jug or separate dish which would have been ok as I would just have left it but it was smothered over the steak and I don’t know what they did to it but it bore no resemblance to Bernaise. Anyway the waiter asked if it was I, and I said no but the steak was cooked as I had asked (medium) he took the plate immediately and I assume washed the sauce off then put it on the grill as it came back very well done. I understand how difficul...
So after reading all these amazing reviews we decided to try that famous paella and we got really dissapointed with it. Sangria was exceptionally good but it looks that paella was rushed to cook and rice were hard some were still crispy inside,awful, over 30years being famous for this. Maybe it just happened to us but it looked like people eating it next to us were not impressed either. The service was amazing though!The best paella we had so far was in Restaurante El Rincón del Marinero. You won't get nice service but food is amazing and fresh, oh yes, it takes over 30min for paella but trust me it's worth it.
We've been to Raymonds many times over the years and always enjoyed the paella. In fact, that was the only dish we'd ever had over the years, until dinner recently when the three of us all decided to have grilled Cherne. The fish was filleted with all the finesse of Jack Nicholson's axe manoeuvres in the Shining. Unsure what we or our fish had done to be desecrated so brutally. Anyway still tasted good but back to the paella next time.
This is not the most pleasant location, but always busy with most people eating paella. This is a long established restaurant and very popular with the locals so expect Spanish food. Other than the lovely paella the menu is limited and the wine a little expensive. The waiter was a little brusque at first but lightened up when we asked for the bill. Well worth a visit.

This IS the place to be with perfect location and to watch the world go by. Sitting here and people watching this place is the best, that’s if you can get a seat. The staff are on the ball and brilliant, the food is even better.
Few drinks here yesterday great barrachitos rustic, no frills but really popular. Our friends regularly eat here and praise the paella. Staff efficient but relaxed and friendly. Loos could be better, accessed down some stairs.
Great bar 1euro a pint in frozen glass , very friendly and welcoming loved it there kids played near the beach and you could keep an eye on them
We’ve just had the most amazing meal at Raymond’s, the Paella was probably the best we’ve tasted and the service was excellent
