Restaurante EVEREST SPICE (previously Riu Rau) (Costa Nova):  Another Nepalese restaurant with charming décor; top of road up from Saladar to Costa Nova Panorama just after hairpin bend on the road towards La Guardia and Granadella (just after the closed kindergarten). Pleasant atmosphere & beautiful gardens. Good reports but slow service - although their take-away service is highly recommended).
