Tula

If everyone is talking up a restaurant, it must be doing something right! In this unpretentious eatery overlooking Arenal beach, couple Borja Susilla and Clara Puig offer guests enticing dishes with the essence of the Mediterranean in which their training in leading restaurants (they met while working with chef Quique Dacosta) is clearly evident. Choose between an array of market-inspired specials (fresh fish, in particular) that you won’t find on the menu as well as a seven-course tasting menu and many dishes designed for sharing. The latter can be ordered as half-plates so that everyone can create their own menu and taste lots of dishes. Make sure you order the shisho leaf taco with pancetta, smoked eel and misonnaise, the delicious pig’s ear, and the potato fritter with a seafood sauce and San Antonio cheese, the latter a successful tribute to this maritime-inspired recipe.
