The best restaurants serving Spanish food in South Ayrshire South West Scotland

If sitting on a tatty faux-leather banquette, blistering up like a bad pluke, is your idea of quality then this is your place. The food is not any better. Bacalao came in a cold dish quickly making the chorizo and black pudding taste like your chewing fat. The menu reads great and you think you’re in for a treat then, when the food comes, it is so disappointing. Drinks service was forgotten – doesn’t make for exciting times, especially with only four tables in the place! It felt like there was more atmosphere in space. When the waitress ladled Troon’s least exciting Patatas Bravas onto the table and spilled oil over one of the diners first-time-worn blouse, well, this doesn’t lend itself to a good day either, especially when that person is your wife... Kudos to the poor girl, she did make a genuine and heartfelt apology and took details for the manager to contact us which was re-assuring. That there was no call from the manager is, given the day’s experiences, not surprising but entirely expected from an establishment that doesn’t have working locks on the toilet doors. Places like this chase people away to the city instead of highlighting the offerings a small coastal town like Troon can offer. I suppose they’re holding out for the cashflow increase during the Open in 2024, well my advice if you’re one of these visitors is quite simple - look elsewhere. If a restaurant doesn’t care to spend money on the basics such as seating and toilet door locks why would you want to spend your money with them? I can’t think of one reason to go back. Not one.
