Having eaten in Cristóbal Colon on a number of occasions and sampled both menu del dia and the a la carte menu, I can only say you must go and sample this wonderful restaurant and food for yourself.

The last time I went, we sat on the Arenal front overlooking the sea. We chose from the daily specials and shared a starter of pasta and fresh grilled Mediterranean vegetables. I then had the fresh sole; simply grilled with butter and herbs, with a selection of fresh vegetables. My partner tried the grilled pork fillets, again served with ample portions of fresh vegetables and patatas bravas. For our sweet, we had a fresh fruit salad (delicious).

This is a family restaurant which is run by Pedro, his wife Antonia and their son Jose Carlos. It is also well known for it's a la carte menu with fresh lobster and large Mediterranean langoustines, also one of their specialities. They have awards from the Feria International de Gastronomica de Javea, and their head chef, Pedro Angel, was trained at the famous Escuela de Cantabreia school of cooking here in Spain.

You can see what a great team of people work at this superb restaurant. Guarantee that no matter what you desire, from a quick light lunch, fresh fish of the day or lobster from the tank. Open till late and over 100 different wines to choose from - Cristóbal Colon is the place to go.
