in Foodies Bee Hive11 months ago (edited)

Ambiance and Warm Welcome

Nestled on a quaint street just off the bustling beachfront of Mojacar Playa in Spain lies Torre Bahia. This elegant culinary haven promises not only exceptional food but also a memorable dining experience.

As you approach this charming restaurant, the exterior exudes a sense of understated sophistication, setting the tone for what awaits inside.

Upon entering Torre Bahia, you are greeted by a warm and inviting ambiance that immediately captures your senses. The main dining room is tastefully decorated, featuring a cozy color scheme that adds to its overall charm. This attention to detail in the décor is reflected in the thoughtfulness put into the food and service.

One of the standout aspects of Torre Bahia is its impeccable service. From the moment I stepped through the door, I was welcomed with open arms by the owner/chef himself. The personal touch extended by Tremain, who hails from Merseyside like myself, added an extra layer of warmth to our dining experience. His friendly demeanor and genuine interest in ensuring our comfort made us feel like honored guests.

The attentive service doesn't end with Tremain; our waitress was equally friendly and accommodating throughout our meal. Her regular check-ins ensured that we had everything we needed, further enhancing the overall dining experience at Torre Bahia.

A Gastronomic Adventure

The menu at Torre Bahia offers a diverse selection of dishes that cater to various palates.

As we perused the menu, we were impressed by the range of options available, from hand-crafted Indian starters to Italian pasta creations. While there were limited vegetarian choices, as a pescatarian, I found plenty of fish options to satisfy my tastes.

For starters, I opted for 'The Prince of India,' a tantalizing medley of bhajis, samosas, and pakoras that set the stage for what was to come. The flavors danced on my palate with each bite, complemented perfectly by the delectable yogurt dip that accompanied the dish.

My girlfriend chose a starter of juicy prawns that she described as incredibly moreish – a testament to the freshness and quality of ingredients.

Memorable Main Courses

When it came to the main courses, Torre Bahia truly shone with its innovative and expertly prepared dishes.

I savored every bite of the roast cod served with asparagus and mussels in mariniere sauce. The fish was cooked to perfection – tender and flavorful – while the sauce added an extra layer of richness that left me wanting more.

My girlfriend enjoyed an exquisite dish featuring Pork belly paired with caramel burnt apple sauce, and tenderstem broccoli with Black Pudding Bon Bon and Calvedos Jus.

She described the dish as; "a heavenly blend of flavors and textures."

As I enjoyed my main courses, it became evident to me why Torre Bahia has earned its reputation for fine dining. The food was thoughtfully crafted with precision and care, resulting in an exceptional depth of flavors that were truly unique.

We didn't have a dessert on this occasion; however, the two courses were enough to leave me with that full feeling and warm glow.

My Verdict

In conclusion, the dining experience at Torre Bahia in Mojacar was nothing short of exceptional. From the warm welcome we received upon arrival to the exquisite main courses, every aspect of the experience exceeded our expectations.

I'd give Torre Bahia top marks for ambiance, food quality, service, price point, and menu choice – Torre Bahia truly stands out as a must-visit destination for any discerning foodie traveling to Mojacar.

If you find yourself in Mojacar seeking an unforgettable dining experience filled with delectable dishes crafted with passion and precision – look no further than Torre Bahia.

That looks like a great place as well as good food indeed!
I'm happy that you found some good places to eat because in our area, it's not the norm. There are nice ones, but mostly some good ones who happen to have a few good dishes on the menu but if they ran out of that or you don't like that dish, it's harder to go home satisfied without breaking the bank lol.

I find the other coast to have much more great food options so far. Happy for you that you landed in a great area for a great holiday :)

Hi thisismylife 👋

Sorry it took me a minute 😁 to respond to this comment... life and such getting in the way 😅

Yeah, we were lucky after the second day, as we actually went to this restaurant twice. Once on the 2nd day of our trip, and again on the last day. This review is based upon the 2nd visit to Torre Bahia.

On the first visit, the owner who I mention in this post gave us some sound recommendations of places to eat, one of which I reviewed on hive.

All in all we were lucky with our food choices, and I cooked quite a few night to save money as well. The fish over in that area of Spain is so much better variety and quality than the UK. I cooked fish 3 times while on holiday because it was so good, and cheap at the market 😉

Hey,

Don't ever worry about responding late because of life lol, I know exactly what you mean!

It's nice if you found a few good places, it's harder in our area to be honest but I bet if I'd really make an effort to find it in the big city near us, I'd find some fine dining options. BUT we don't like going there so I don't bother..

Nice to have some good fish options right? I remember when we paid like 2,50 euro for a pack of smoked salmon here in Spain back in 2016/2017 though.. when we returned these we're up 2-3 euros for the same weight.. ouch.. In Budapest it was even more expensive though..

I definitely eat more fish here than I did there because of the price difference :)

Hope you're good!
