“Excellent Food”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 30, 2012

Finally visited this tapas restaurant after reading T/A reviews. You will not be disappointed. Both the food and wine we had, were excellent and very reasonably priced. The Menu is not huge and comprises mainly meats; cheeses; salads and breads. We began with a very tasty, bread, oil, and garlic complimentary tapa; followed by wild boar and selection of meats. Food was beautifull and unusually presented. Quite an experience. We washed it all down with a bottle of house red - Ribera - which was lovely. We could not manage a dessert. The restaurant has a large, covered, outside seating area, occupied by a variety of nationalities the night we went. Very busy with good atmosphere and helpful waiters. Inside looked cosy and inviting too. We fully intend going back to La Vina de Ale on our next visit to Torremolinos.

“Genuinely Spanish”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 24, 2012

We went here last week because of all the good reviews - they were right! What a change, in the middle of Montemar a real Spanish restaurant full of Spanish customers. Really good Tapas and excellent house wines. We tried the Wild Boar, you should too - unusual and excellent. We ate several other tapas and enjoyed them all. Certainly on our list for future visits.

“food and fun”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 4, 2012

The first time we were in la vina de ale we ate delicious tapas and drank excellent wine and were served by a very friendly and attentive waiter. It was so good that we had to go there a second time. Unfortunately this time the kitchen was already closed, but luckily the guys from the vinoteca made an exception and got us some delicious cheese, which went very well with our tasty wine. Above all we had a very nice chat with them. They gave us valuable advice for our sigthseeing trips and gave us great insight in the spanish (andalucian) way of life.
La vina de ale is definitely a place you have to go to, when you are in Torremolinos (or even a reason to visit Torremolinos)!

“September 2012”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 2, 2012

Great Spanish restaurant in Montemar. The food ranges from delicious tapas to splendid 3 course meals. Prices for food and wine are very reasonable. Menus in English can be had from the very helpful staff. The night we were there we shared a half portion of mixed croquettes and a large mixed meats dish - both were fantastic.Even the little starter (on the house) was delicious. The diners were mainly Spanish - but there were also English, French, Dutch and Irish diners enjoying this great little restaurant.
