Food and drink at Capo La Gala

Hotel restaurant
The main restaurant sits above the pool, with various seating areas dotted around the hotel, inside and out, including one down by the beach. Crisp navy tablecloths stand out against the white Panton chairs, and there are stacks of stripey blue and white cushions. It has a Michelin star to its name, so expect fine flavour combinations, such as tuna steak in herb pastry with caponata and candied tomatoes, and ravioli with caciotta cheese and marjoram.
- Dress code Pucci and Prada, worn with a tan.
- Top table By the windows in the main restaurant to stare out to sea.
- Last orders Breakfast is on offer from 7.30am until 11am; lunch kicks off at 12.30pm and lasts until 2.30pm; dinner is served between 7.30pm and 10.30pm.
- Room service Order in various pastas and puddings between 12pm and 10pm.

Our favourite rooms
We loved Room 205, a classic double room with a sea-view terrace, for the terrific tiles in its bathroom: white but with bright blue splatterings only an angry person with a brush could produce. Its terrace isn’t bad, either – vast, with a cactus and a spectacular view out to sea. The classic rooms on the second floor are smaller but their terraces more than make up for it; views are less restricted, too.
Packing tips
Deck shoes, striped things and an oversized straw hat.
Also
The spa has ocean-green tiles, an emerald heated pool and coral sculptures, along with white treatment rooms containing paintings of green seahorses – it’s like being under the sea.
