Popular with expats from nearby Golf Resorts El Rey serves unpretentious Spanish dishes and tapas
El Rey Resto-Bar is a popular favourite among expats in the area around Balsicas, where the local villages now welcome a multitude of visitors from northern Europe due to the proximity of golf courses and resort developments such as La Torre Golf Resort, Las Terrazas de la Torre, La Peraleja and Hacienda Riquelme.
The key to the success of El Rey is that it is unpretentious, serving uncomplicated traditional food in both the Spanish and British styles. The well-presented tapas are always popular and although staple favourites are available all day, there are also regular daily specials. Tapas on offer include a variety of seafood specialities such as octopus, cuttlefish, prawns and squid alongside other local favourites such as goat’s cheese, omelettes and scrambled eggs with mushroom and prawns, but at the same time those who hanker for home can always order a full
English breakfast (until 3 p.m) for just 4.95€ including tea or coffee (available every morning of the week).
The layout of El Rey is such that eating snack-style at the bar is a popular option, but for those with a larger appetite a wide range of meat dishes are on the menu. Many are tempted by the 200-gram fillet steak and the 300-gram sirloin steak, but for the more ambitious there is also a 600-gram T-bone on offer! Oxtail and black Angus burgers are also among the meat specialities at El Rey.
Traditional UK-style cod and chips are also served, and the desserts include mouthwatering chocolate cakes and cheesecake.
As well as the bar seating and a spacious modern dining area there is also the option of eating al fresco on the front or side terraces. Wheelchair access is not a problem to either the terraces or the indoor seating area, and parking is on the street outside.
The food is always attractive at El Rey, but another factor in the establishment’s popularity is the live entertainment, which is suited to English-speaking audiences. Tribute acts, musicians and comedians regularly perform to a full house in the centre of Balsicas, giving holidaymakers and expats the chance to enjoy the talents of the likes of Elvis Presley and Cher in friendly and familiar surroundings!
Bookings are advised for the evenings when live entertainment is provided.
A warm welcome is guaranteed at this family-run establishment on the main road which runs through Balsicas, with opening hours in the Winter months opening from 6.30a.m to 11 p.m during the week and early closing on Mondays at 5 p.m.
Summer months 6.30a.m till late during the week with early closing on Mondays at 5 p.m. Saturdays they are open from 8.00 a.m till late and CLOSED on Sundays.
The kitchen is not in operation between 16.00 and 19.00, but of course this doesn’t affect the availability of light snacks and tapas!
