Elestabloasador - Conil de la Frontera

We seem to return to this restaurant quite frequently since we first came across it last year. We go there because we enjoy really good meat. There are lots of other good, imaginative items on the menu and we always enjoy one of them for a first course. If you’ve read my reviews before, you will know I’m a bit of a bore about meat, where it should come from, how long it should be kept before being eaten (hung? and how to make sure it comes to the table piping hot, ideally with a mini-barbecue at the table. Well, this restaurant meets the first two conditions to perfection. The third condition is not so well met but it doesn’t seem to matter. There is another restaurant in the area (La Castilleria in Santa Lucía where the same is true. The meat is so good, tasty and tender that you lap it up before you notice that the last bits are no longer hot. For the quality of meat we enjoyed, El Establo is very reasonable in price. We spent less than €50 including a shared first course, beers, wine and some fino. It stays open in the quiet months, except on Tuesdays. Highly recommended!

We were on a saturdat at noon. As we were the only customers (we were told nights are more crowdy), the chef prepared the dishes just for us; he explained every detail of how they were made up, and everything was very original... and delicious.

I am in love with this place. I went few times and the cook is excellent, so it is the service. Fresh first quality ingredients in a place no so easy to find, but worthy

I think that’s the third time I’ve eaten at El Establo and I was glad to see it was open again today. We went there to eat meat and enjoyed a delicious steak (chuletón without the bone) of Vaca gallega (Galician cow) of an already very respectable age before being “hung” for another seven weeks. Full of flavour, with some nice fat and quite tender. There are a good number of places in the area where you can now enjoy excellent meat. But some of the best (Vascook in Conil and La Castilleria, ten miles or so away near Vejer, make little or no effort to cater for vegetarians. El Establo does make the effort. I can’t say I’ve sampled any of their vegetarian offerings but, today we shared a very nice first course of scrambled eggs with shitaki mushrooms and prawns. It can’t be difficult to do it without prawns and anyway, there are other dishes which don’t have to be adjusted. I heartily recommend this restaurant, in the centre of Conil.
