Mabrouk – Alghero’s hidden secret

Summer is well and truly here so it that time of year when I get to review all the local resturants in Alghero.  I know what you are thinking – yes it is hard, jumping in my car and driving around the good, bad and indifferent eateries in this Alghero.   I almost go on car auto-pilot to one of the very best restaurants in Alghero – “Mabrouk”.   This superb place is located in the very heart of the old town of Alghero.   You can not miss it as it is situated in an old stone building with arched interior ceilings – beautiful!  Now this place is one of Alghero’s little know secrets – not even a menu on the street to tell you it is there so shhh!  When you peek through the old windows you will observe an uninspiring entrance – don’t let this put you off.  One thing to be aware of is that it only sell seafood – caught fresh that day.   As usual I had the clam linguine with garlic and parsley.  This was followed by fresh fruit, coffee and a shot of Limoncello – if that is your thing. This food is to die for.   A meal for two with wine comes at a very reasonable $33 per person.  The wine which you can drink as much of as you like is great – not the house plonk.  

The service is great, the food is great – damn it – Mabrouk is and for ever will be fantastic
