El rincón del vino y la fondue - Guardamar

El rincón del vino y la fondue - Calle Crevillente 32, Guardamar del Segura



Took us back 40 years to our first fondue in Austria a few years after we were married!
A great idea to open a restaurant specialising in fondues - meats, cheeses and chocolate.
Run by a very friendly and attentive Belgian family in what was a bodega, it looks very Spanish and the atmosphere is intoxicating!
We just had the mixed meat one which had pork solomillo, chicken, meatballs & beef.
First a lovely home made soup & various tapas - salads, potato salad, fresh made bread and their own herby butter; and chips.
Too much for us to finish and for only 35€ to include a couple of glasses of decent table wine.

Very nice and different - although owner said that fondues are very popular in Belgium again.

They only opened last Friday & still waiting to get on trip adviser.. We were the only visitors, but superb service.

Martin. This sounds great, does the meat fondue pot come with oil or broth. And do they do just cheese fondue.

For meat fondues, the pot has hot oil for you to put the meat in to cook to your taste; for cheese ones the pot is molten cheese.
The meat ones had a choice of either bourguignon, or mixed meats.
We had the mixed which comprised of pork solomoillo, chicken, beef/veal & meatballs (4 pieces of each per person = total of 16 pieces of meat each.)
Price was 16€/person for the mixed fondue and 1.50€ each glass of wine.
For the cheese ones there's a choice of 'ordinary cheese', goats cheese & blue cheese.
(The owner told us they'd had some Spanish customers in at 11pm the previous night for cheese fondue who'd been very impressed.)
They also do a full menu with meat fondue followed by chocolate fondue.

please excuse my ignorance, so you get your meat raw then cook it in the hot oil ,is that it, or do you then dip it in the molten cheese, is that how it works? or is it meat or cheese?if its cheese,. dipping cheese in molten cheese . never experienced fondue before ,but would like to try.

With a meat fondue you have lumps of raw meat which you cook in hot oil & you can then add some sauces to it which are provided - I think they were curry, garlic, rosa & something else if I can remember.
With a cheese fondue you have raw veg like celery and carrots etc to dip into molten cheese. :)
