IN A CLASS OF THEIR OWN (from €35+ per head)   Restaurant ATALAYA : This restaurant at the Arenal beach was closed before Xmas and we now learn that there are plans for it to reopen ??

Menu del dia €15.95. Consistently excellent reports throughout the summer but comments say this is an expensive place (revealed, perhaps, by the refurbishment). Parador end of Arenal promenade.  Tel : 96 579.1600 / open daily. http://www.javeacompany.com/ javeacompany/boheme/index.html Restaurante LE GOURMAND : Carretera Jesús Pobre 202.  It is well over a year since Le Gourmand moved to their new premises and it has very clearly established itself in the affections of the community as one of the very best restaurants in the area.  We have organised two group lunches there – a success with everyone ! Away from the Arenal beach they now flourish and are admired amongst serious eaters.  Booking essential !  For summer there is a large (mostly muzak-free) covered area in the garden. Gastronauts should note they have occasional jazz evenings. Menu-del-día €17.50. Ask to go on their mailing list. Tel: 96 628.9686 / f. Monday  /  E-mail : legourmand.
