La Cura - Murcia

We were looking for a restaurant in the Espinardo area and didn't find what we were looking for, so returned to the Ibis hotel. Just before we gave in we noticed this restaurant across the road and decided if it was anything like, we would eat there. We pride ourselves on trusting or eyes, ears and noses, so when we entered we were pleased. It is a typical Spanish restaurant and that is a very good thing for us. We visit Spain quite often; us, is me, my wife, my daughter, her husband and two children. It is family run and they were all there. The lady running the restaurant apologised for her poor English and for the menu being only on Spanish, she is part of what made this a truly fantastic experience. There was advice from her on choosing, and favours before the first course. We were treated to a tastng menu quality, which I don't believe could be surpassed anywhere. The postre course was ordered, me and my Son in Law ordered brandy the bottle of a superior Spanish Brandy was left on the table with two warmed glasses. We were blown away by the quality of the food, service and attention to detail. Theirs is a very good restaurant in an out of the way place that should be sought out for the quality and friendly service.

When we enter in La Cura it seems like a nice small restaurant, a nice menu outside...day specials... but when you start being serve, it really changes! There are a guy and a girl working there. Without any sympathy they give you a piece of paper with the day menu (2 dishes+coffee+1drink by 9€ looks ok ...but we did not want the day special and ask for the menu...NO! they said that if you just want 1 dish, you can choose on from the special and they will give you in bigger quantity : So...you have a big nice menu outside from which you cannot choose. Then the food...one of those special in a bigger plate...too salty, to fat...but we could eat something. In the middle, they put in the table a plate with bread covered with olive oil, that we did not ask or ate.... But when the bill came, the bread was there to pay...and they said we must pay it or pay more for the entire meal! REALLY NICE! So you you want nice food and nice treatment...and to pay just what you eat... don't visit La Cura....

Es la segunda vez que vengo, la primera vez estuvo bastante bien, rapidez, calidad y buen servicio. Mi sorpresa ha sido hoy que he venido, la calidad de la comida sigue siendo la misma, pero el servicio de hoy ha dejado mucho que desear. Demasiado lentos para haber 3 camareros en el local, cierto es que había gente pero han tardado 40 minutos en servir una croqueta y un caballito mientras que los demás comían el primer plato del menú del día). Al llegar los segundos han traído 3 de 4 y han tardado 20 minutos más para el último segundo. Un lugar que la primera vez me fui con muy buen sabor de boca pero la segunda no tanto, espero que haya una tercera vez y no sea con mal sabor de boca.

Una cervecita fría fría … una atención excelente y calidad de comida en cada plato

El sitio está bien, comer a la brasa siempre es un acierto pero pediría que cambiasen los menú infantil, bastante pobres de calidad para la comida que se puede conseguir en el menú de adultos. (Nuggets artificiales, salchichas, patatas, etc).
