Chef:
This is newly opened restaurant on the beach front of Mojacar Playa with a pleasant sun-catching terrace has taken Mojacar by surprise. In addition, the menu includes traditional Moroccan tagines, (I particularly like the beef and prune dish), and a creative selection of desserts, including a delectable Mandarin and lemon soufflé. It is also great to see a cheeseboard available either as a dessert, an optional extra dessert or you can just pitch up and have a cheeseboard and a bottle of wine whilst you overlook the Mediterranean Sea and the beach opposite. 
The wine menu is comprehensively Spanish, (even local with wines from Northern Almeria) including the usual Ribera del Duero and Rioja, with a single French champagne, Moet & Chandon included. Service is attentive to just the right degree, and the effervescent owner/host Maria speaks a number of languages making it really easy to convey your needs and comments. Chef’s specialities: Tagines, but frankly it is all recommended! Highly recommended: All of it – it’s excellent! Arguably this is the best restaurant in the area. It ranks alongside the restaurants of Hotel Catedral, Almeria (where the creative Chef Tony Garcia is housed), Terraza Carmona, Vera, Restaurante Juan Moreno, Vera, the Restaurante Alejandro, Plaza Vieja, Almeria (the themed restaurant from Michelin star Chef Alejandro). Cost: 3 course Lunch menu 12€ excluding wine and coffee To keep up to date: To follow the activities of Saffron it is recommended that you subscribe or follow Saffron, Mojacar on Facebook, where you can not only see some of their amazing food, but also collect some classic North African recipes!
