"Great outdoor terrace with amazing views. Good variety of cuisine but a little limited if you want tapas or Spanish. That said, it's an Irish bar . Great service, and great atmosphere, so if you're missing your home cuisine, then dine here. We visited as 2 families (4 kids)."

"Service was terrible. Asked for drinks and menus, drinks came but no menue. After asking 3 more waiters they brought the menue. Half an hour later they came to take our order. 10 mins later the food arrived but the staff didn't know what table it was for. Worst service ever."

"If you're tired of all the delicious Spanish food, come to Cochran's Terrace to enjoy some pub food, mostly burgers and fries. The highlight of the restaurant is the terrace, which offers great views of the Mediterranean sea. The quality of the food was okay, but not great."

"Amazing and unbeatable view! Great service (Thanks Alba!). And for those complaining about dogs being denied, you should leave your dogs at home. They are not family members, they are pets. We are very happy this is a dog free terrace."

"We were obviously lucky to enjoy a sunnny day with cool breeze and zero people. Thus, the waiter was smiling and very helpful, the food and beer were simple but absolutely satisfying (we had nachos and guacamole and fried aubergines) and we spend lovely time there. Beware, the place may be crowded and not so relaxing at other times of the day :) ... we were there at lunch in June"

"Always a hot spot to grab a drink. The food should be avoided. Service on this visit was a little disappointing, especially given that management was on the deck."
