I went with a group of friends last Friday at 8pm after a recommendation from a work mate in Gibraltar. I´ve lived in La Linea for around three years now, and none of us had been here before so we thought we would give it a shot. It´s a little off the beaten track but not to difficult to find. The Meson is divived into a tapas bar and a sit down restaurant, the latter of which is well looked after and where we decided to eat as there were six of us and it looked a bit cramped in the tapas bar. Anyways, the service was nothing special if I´m honest. We opted for some starters to share and then some main courses (see uploaded receipt for prices). The food was good, but it was more expensive then what we are used to paying in la linea. Once we divided the bill between 6, it came to 27 euros each, which is quite a lot given that we only had a couple of drinks each. Maybe I´m being harsh and unfairly comparing it to other places in La Linea, but after a big meal like this most restaurants offer some sort of shot of something like Pacharan, but not here, and as a result the general feeling of the group was the night here was okay, but we wouldn´t be coming back and it´s the first time in La Linea that we made a unanimous decision not to leave a tip! Maybe I´m being too harsh after just one visit. But the food didn´t stand out as anything special. But to be fair I will go back and try the tapas bar next time and leave another review.
A little bit away from the city centre is this wonderful restaurant. The place has actually two parts, one is for Tapas (and Drinks and in the back, there is a restaurant. From what I know it offers the same food, the restaurant ist just a little nicer. Plus there are some fresh fish to choose from as well, looked pretty nice. I went for tapas, prices were more than fair and a few cent cheaper than in other places more central. Quality was really good. The Oxtail and the cheese empanadas were one of my favourites, but just sheep cheese with red wine is basically enough to make me smile : On some orders they messed up the fries a bit, kinda took them out too early, but well, guess that happens, rest of the food was really awesome Definitely one of my favorites places in town. I was told though for the restaurant its best to make a reservation and for the tapas place show up early, since this place is normally quite crowded.
Every dish I had was better the the next starting with the potato salad and the bread that comes for free. The pulpo a la gallega was tender and spiced just right. The Salmorejo was out of this world. The Salmonetes were delicious. The Cojinas devine. I'd skip the tuna tartare. We had a breaded meat dish that was excellent. And even dessert was worth it. I can't wait to go back.
The food was delicious. The croquettes were amazing and I don’t usually eat oxtail so there is something to be said about that. The steak was also very good. The service was excellent. The prices seemed reasonable, I was satisfied with the portion for the price. Definitely a do again!
Have been here many times over the years and it's always be good. The staff are friendly and efficient even when it gets very busy as it does. Good choice of tapas, good quality.
