UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT – We are still awaiting reports please Restaurante LES FOUGES (fish restaurant and delicatessen & retail fish shop) : Cami Paellero 3, Moraira (drive south from Moraira – on the right side before Pepe la Sal). We thought that the re-location and enlargement of this fish shop and restaurant to the coast road just south of Moraira was the most exciting gastro-event of last year; uniquely here is a fish shop attached to a restaurant (or vice versa !). This marvellous French family-run operation offers a huge range of fish and shell fish as well as the best selection of French cheeses you’ve seen anywhere in Spain (incl. the divine Boursault) …. and a marvellous range of delicious pâtisseries, tartelettes & gâteaux, patés, terrines, French tinned/bottled specialities and French bread. In a separate room are 6 tanks of lobsters! Also on offer are scallops, fresh haddock, skate, cabillaud/ cod, lubina, dorada, oysters, potted shrimps, tarama (French – excellent but stronger than the UK version) and many other sorts of fish and fruits de mer – the range is huge). Guests must first choose their meal in the shop. It is then transferred to the kitchens for preparation. They also serve meat and look after veggies!! The wine list is the most astonishing we have seen anywhere – especially of French wines – because they are at amazing prices (same at retail as at the table – a Pouilly Fuissé at €14). They tell us they are starting to open on some evenings. Best arrange a driver to take you home. Booking is essential as, no surprise, it is full most of the time!! 678 488895 /  MIDDAY ONLY (f. Sunday p.m. & Monday otherwise open 10:00 - 18:00h. The kitchen closes 16:00h). Times etc. to be confirmed. www.lesfouges.com Restaurante MENA :   Wonderful position situate right on
