31.01.2010 - With no raucous machines to disturb you, this enter­prising new restaurant is ideal for those who want to settle down and chill out with gentle music and great food.  The menu is oriental based with an Iranian twist taking full advantage of the fresh local ingredients.  Noth­ing you enjoy here will be mass-produced, they make everything at the restaurant from the bread and delicious and unusual sauces to the luxury pastries.

Café Biblioteca opened on the main road in La Camella last summer and we heard about this unusual venue from close friends who had been at a birthday party there the night before.  They have a fabulous special offer for groups of ten or more, whether it be a family or company party, of a dish from each of the extensive list of courses for just €20 per head, guaranteed to leave you full of plumptiousness.

This restaurant is defi­nitely one to try for those who delight in something different and unique, but be aware that some of the most tempting dishes such as shoulder of lamb in red wine sauce with dried Iranian limes or duck in a creamy nut and pomegranate sauce, will take approximately two hours to prepare.  Time for a few glasses of wine, a gentle natter, or a good read and ideal for singles, couples or groups.

Take away specialities include Nan Pitch, an Ira­nian bread filled with meat or vegetables and a variety of sauces – you may never eat pizza again.  They also offer a lunch menu daily for approximately €8 from 12 noon to 6 pm.  The bodega has been selected mainly from Spain and the Canar­ies and there is a wonderful selection of cocktails, teas and coffees.

To further whet your ap­petite, you can receive daily menus from cafebiblioteca@gmail.com.  Opening hours are from 10 am to 11 pm.  Visit www.cafebiblioteca.es for images and more information or call 922 728 270.
