A Spanish restaurant with Spanish theme. The food were delicious and several dishes to choose between. The staff was friendly and helpful.
The only thing we can complain about is the loud music. You could barely hear what the staff said and they could bearly hear you.
I can recommend this restaurant.

Food was stunning,but the reason for low score was we had booked a table for 9 for 3.30 pm ,was told on arrival there would be a delay of 5 minutes,didn’t mind as they were busy.over 50 minutes later we were shown our table.,wanted 20 minutes for someone to come over with menus.ordered our food and drinks,after another 15 minutes had to ask where our drinks were.waited another 15 mins for our drinks after asking again where they were.we were served our mains at 5.10 pm .we had to leave without ordering desserts as my granddaughter and her fiancée had a train to catch at 7.20 in Abergavenny.they missed the train because we were so late after paying the bill.also 5 tables of 4 that were seated after us, ,that we saw ,were served and left before us. My granddaughter had to buy new tickets for a train at 5 am tomorrow before the end of the day late back for uni.

Swansea marina El pescador

Swansea marina El pescador, ordered pork belly, arrived cold, then main was pork medallions with chips and veg, I received 9 chips in a basket, and 4 yes 4 chicken nugget sized pieces of pork along with watercress as the veg, this was such a small portion I thought I had been given a starter again by mistake, £23.99 for the most pathetic portion of food as a main I have ever had, surprisingly enough I will not return, and %100 not recommend.

Reply from El Pescador

Thank you for taking the time to share your impressions of your visit to El Pescador at Swansea Marina.

Our dishes are designed with quality and presentation in mind, rather than oversized portions. The pork medallions are prepared to highlight flavour and tenderness, and are served with chips and garnish to provide a balanced main course. The chips are always served in a basket with a consistent portion for all guests, which is more than the nine you mentioned — what you received was the full serving as intended by our kitchen.

We appreciate that preferences can differ when it comes to portion sizes, but our menu and pricing reflect the quality of ingredients we source and the care with which they are prepared. Many of our guests return precisely because they value this approach to dining.

While our style may not have matched your expectations on this occasion, we remain confident in the quality and value of what we offer. If you do decide to return, our team would be happy to recommend dishes that may better suit your personal preferences.

Warm regards,
Lorita Ippolito
General Manager
El Pescador, Swansea Marina

Our first visit today

Our first visit today, we went purely for the seafood and have had a beautiful meal. The staff are friendly and welcoming and it's a lovely location overlooking the marina. It was some of the best seafood we've had and very reasonably priced considering the quality. Would definately recommend and hope to go back soon.

Please add a chocolate based dessert to your set menu. There are only 3 ‘beige’ options .. creme brûlée, rice pudding (seriously?), and Affogato (coffee and ice cream). The medallions for main is always perfect. Just such a shame you feel it’s wasted money when you can’t have a dessert you like. I even asked for an alternative and was told it’s only those 3 . :-(
The 4 of us on the table felt the same.

My Experience

I found this restaurant to be of excellent quality in the layout, food and the customer service (in particular a lady called Carys). I thoroughly recommend eating there if you're looking for a sophisticated and efficient dining experience.

5* Tapas and Drinks

Great Tapas! Highly recommended. Delicious drinks choices too. Our server was particularly welcoming and we had a guest who had dietary restrictions that they catered for.

Dissapointing Festive experience

Having previously enjoyed an excellent meal here, we returned with friends for a Christmas catch up.

We chose the Festive menu for £32/head for 3 courses.

The starters were lovely, with a good choice.

Our main courses however, left us dissspointed. Large plates arrived simply housing the piece of meat and 4 small potatos. I queried if we would also have vegetables and I was told we hadn’t ordered any, yet they didn’t appear as a menu choice and we were not told or asked to order any!

Desserts followed, choice was a little limited but adequate.

On this occasion, and having had ‘festive menus’ at other restaurants, I did leave feeling very dissapointed and that I’d paid over the odds for my lunch. For £32 I would have expected better.
