Food and Drink is back in Al Kasar !

Its good to report not one, but two new independent commercial enterprises opening in the Al Kasar courtyard. This site has a great pull and potential (with enough footfall !) and with the recent economic news over Corvera / Paramount and the huge rise in residential inquiries from buyers and investors, could 2012 be be the year to set up your shop in Condado ??

The Clover Bar re-opened officially last weekend and is under the ownership of the same hard working English couples who also run the Condado club located in the Jardines, running both bars on-site is a smart move allowing each to have its own profile and offer different things to different people without effecting the others trade. We all wish the guys concerned much success - I think they will do well, as its apparent that they have a background in hospitality and a capacity for hard work and long hours.

We were all sad when the Spanish  / Pizza restaurant closed in Al-Kasar,  we ate there on many occasions and always found the food good and reasonably  priced, (if you stuck to Pizza !!) the Paella we had was poor and the steaks were hard work to get through, even with the sharp knives supplied.

The closure of this facility was inevitably tied to the demise of PW and despite knocking an ugly hole in the wall to run a smaller part of the site as adjunct to the bar , the unit is currently sad and dusty looking.

Its good therefore to report that the lease has been taken over and the place will be re-opening to customers on Monday 2nd April - just in time for Easter !!  The concept is a Pizza/Bulgarian restaurant - I know these are two words not normally seen in the same culinary vocabulary but bear with me !

The new place will be under the management of  Darren and Yanka who run the existing Bulgarian place in the main square at Camposol B. This is a place I have walked past many times but never ventured into, so I can make no comment on what the foods is like - anyone one else eaten there ??  Bistro Bulgaria Website

For those (like me) who know nothing about food from this region a quick trawl online (and with thanks with  Wikipedia) shows that it looks good, be interesting to see what is available ??
