Lo Tapas - Alaior

Fabulous choices for Menu del Dia on blackboard and only 10 Euros, including bread and a drink. Typical Spanish in an industrial part of town opposite supermarket (if you need one) and well worth the trip out of tourist areas. Family run, son Ruben served us, speaks English and is very professional. Mama cooking in kitchen. Very Spanish menu great Paella. Definitely recommend if you like meals that do not cater to tourists.

Lo Tapas is in an industrial area, opposite a supermarket, so well away from the tourist areas. This is good as it remains a very popular bar/cafe among the locals. and proves the menu del dia still exists as was intended, an excellent and inexpensive lunch for ordinary folk. New management seems to know exactly what was needed and on Saturday and Sunday lunchtimes the place is buzzing inside and out. The menu del dia at 10 euros is amazing value with a choice of an ample starter, substantial main course and a small desert. It also includes bread and a drink. There are the usual tapas and platos combinados but to be honest, you're much better off going for the lunchtime menu. You probably won't want to eat again that day.
