Reviews For Bar Virgen Del Carmen

The best quality tapas place we were in Almeria. One tapa with the beers was some crayfish, another a grilled tuna loin, delicious bravas, grilled fish... We didn't stop!! We ate at the bar because it is packed. You have to go early or late. In the middle hour you queue yes or yes. We ate very well for 12 per head.

10-STAR FRESH FISH TAPAS We visited this bar on a Monday lunchtime and we liked EVERYTHING, from the quality, quantity, price, and atmosphere. We also highlight Fran's fast and friendly service. We ordered a half portion of calamari, and it was delicious. Fresh and generously sized. It costs 13 and is worth every penny. It's recommended to arrive early or call ahead to secure a table. The dining room has no tablecloths, and bar service is fast and welcoming. 100% recommended.

One of the best bars I have tried without a doubt. Everything is delicious, there is no dish that is bad. The waiters are nice and fast. It is perfect to enjoy a good meal in the sun. We have already come twice this week!!

Awesome! This place is so good it should be a secret. Authentic athmosphere with great seafood tapas for a very reasonable price.

FRESH, FRESH fish and the preparation with top ingredients, even the fried ones show that they are prepared with quality oil. The freshest and best fish, impossible. Value for money, outstanding. The most attentive, friendly and efficient waiters, impossible. You cannot pay by card and reservations are not made. At peak times, not always, but most of the time it is very busy, so much so that people usually queue.

Bar of those that no longer exist. Example of tapa-cana from Almeria, great food, fresh fish, generous portions and good service. The bar is located in the La Canada neighborhood, and it is advisable to reserve in advance. The grilled tuna tapa and the smoked herring tapa, the best. The portion of red shrimp is also crazy. Highly recommended.

When one in Almeria thinks of a fish bar, what comes to mind is Virgen del Carmen. Fresh fresh fish, people from the neighborhood and people who come from Almeria just to eat there. The service is a little scattered at times but if you go early, everything is fine. I recommend the grilled tuna and the shrimp pancakes.
