Title: Carpe Diem
Post by PlanesPete on Aug 11^th, 2016 at 10:08pm

Hadn't been for a while but spent a lovely 4 hours there today.
The food was excellent and, with our large group, had most of the menu with much praise and no complaints. Service is friendly but not matey and just the right amount of time left between courses for good conversation. Half the group used the pool while we old codgers mused over a nice brandy.
At €14.95 each a very welcome luxury. :)

A recent review from that honest and above board...Trip Advisor. :D :D :D :D

“Search out this place - it's worth it!”

Chose Carpe Diem to celebrate a birthday and wow, what a place to celebrate! It's quite a drive from anywhere, and tucked away down a country lane. It's like a giant finca really with a lake, and a collection of birds, animals and pets outside to see. Inside, the dining room is flamboyant and artistic, very different from most places....

It's good but you have to put up with cats crawling over your table and begging food when you are eating I won't be going again

The only time we went there was in a group, and was a couple of years ago, and a friend stepped in dog muck on the path before going into the restaurant.
Not nice at all.
Inside seemed scruffy and rather dirty.
I asked for Gaseosa or Casera to put with my wine, but I was told they didn't stock it.
We will not go back there again.
Maybe it is better now, only hope so.

We have been here several times, both for their "menu del dia" and themed nights and in all honesty have never been disappointed, friendly service, excellent food and clean. Would recommend to anyone without hesitation.

WE have had lunch at Carpe Diem on a number of occasions and have always had good food and a great time. The decor is flambuoyant and the service friendly. Never had any cats begging!!

A few years ago when the two "Guys" who ran the place split up , one stayed above and the other opened the place below. You can see the decor is somewhat similar as is the name. I think it may have changed hands since then. ::) ::) ::)
