ANDALUCIA’S most eccentric restaurant The Roman Oasis will be opening on July 1 for an incredible 35th season.
Near the celebrated Roman baths, La Hedionda, in Casares, hence the name, the summer barbeque restaurant is well-known on the coast for its delicious food and delightfully quirky decor.
A full-size cannon, a skeleton that lights up when you walk past and a King Arthur’s sword wedged in one of the tables are all part of the world of owner Paul Hickling.
Once the stomping ground of TV chef Keith Floyd (this was his favourite restaurant in Spain) The Roman Oasis should not be missed.
Guests dine in a charming courtyard under the stars, entertained and looked after by Paul, easily one of the coast’s most ebullient and amusing hosts.
