Conrad's Il Ristorante - Nueva Andalucia

It must be 2 years ago that Il Ristorante in Compana disappeared into what we thought was oblivion, only to find out recently, courtesy of an article in the Weekend World that in fact they had Re-branded as Conrad’s Il Ristorante and opened up in Avda del Prado. Double Michelin Star chef Renee & wife Sabine now have an eatery of over triple the size of the old one but with same ethos of serving Renee’s twist on Italian cuisine, although many of his dishes are better described as international, they all are generous in size, cooked to perfection, and still as flavoursome as I recall from years ago. They bake their own bread, make all the dessert that are on offer, and have justifiably earned a high reputation, witness the long term following that they have. With about 90 covers, 50 of which are on the very pleasant terrace, with comfortable seats, tables that are well spaced and nicely set, and most importantly smiling staff that seek to please. Led by manageress Tola who hails from Poland and maitra‘D Sabine leaving Renee do what he does best.


Their manageable menu has less the 30 item on it which you can either use as an a’la carte or create a 3 course set dinner menu with 3 optional price grouping of 25€ 35€ or 42€ with the lower band incorporating the 5 Pasta and Risotto dishes, the mid price having the more economical cuts of meat or Cod, and the premium list include Sole Turbot and Seabass - and for the carnivores Ossobuco and Beef Fillet for mains and a Scallop starter. All the mains in the last two groups come with fresh vegetables and potatoes.

Our party of 4 chose a Cucumber Gazpacho with Scallops (how interesting and delicious) - Pil Pil - Tuna Carpaccio - Goats Cheese & Apricot Salad for starters and mains of grilled Sole and a Loin
Of Lamb. Desserts of apple Pie with vanilla ice-cream - Crème Brulee - cheesecake completed our dinner. I have an intolerance to anything that is cooked in Olive Oil and so they cooked my order of Pil Pil in Girasol which was fine but their homemade bread had a little olive Oil in the dough, but with out moments hesitation Tola went next door and bought a Bara for me - Now that’s what I call service. So Thank you Tola.

We have happily re-joined the followers of Renee culinary offerings and just rue the two years that we have missed!

Awful experience
by: Angela Marar

I am pleased you enjoyed your meal at Conrads.

We, too, were good clients of Il Restaurante before
they moved location and changed their name to
Conrads.

We always enjoyed our meal and service. The same cannot be said on our last visit to Conrads where the service was terrible.

When I commented on this to the front of house owner - her reply was 'bring your own waiter in future' and 'where do you think you are - the Marbella Club'?

Needless to say we have not returned. Pity as the food is good...Just the front of house needs sorting.

Obviously, they have lost us as customers.
