La Santa: Spanish warmth, flavor, and authenticity in every detail La Santa is a Spanish restaurant served with overwhelming friendliness. Its owners, Anaïs and Sebastiana, made us feel at home from the very first moment. We also want to highlight the professional and friendly service of Anni, the waitress who served us with great kindness and efficiency, adding even more warmth to the experience. It's clear that this isn't just any old place: the entrance is separated from the rest of the restaurants by a space that reveals a distinct urban layout, something unusual among roadside restaurants. It's located within the town and very close to the beach, making it an ideal choice for those looking to combine good food with a relaxing stroll by the sea. The setting is charming. The restaurant retains the typical structure with a sloping, pitched roof covered with woven dried leaves, which, along with the wooden tables and chairs, create a warm, welcoming, and very authentic atmosphere. Everything invites you to stay a little longer. Breakfast is simply spectacular. The Spanish Breakfast is generous and delicious: a crispy ciabatta, accompanied by two fried eggs, Manchego cheese, Serrano ham, and salchichón. A true feast to start the day with energy and a good mood. It's a recommended place for families, both for its relaxed atmosphere and the quality of its cuisine. Although the restaurant isn't fully accessible, it does have a table accessible to people with reduced mobility, which is appreciated.

Only came here for a dessert, but our waiter was so lovely and so was the food. We got the chocolate truffles (₽200) and a sugar crepe (cooked perfectly) (₽100). Their tapas selection also looked brilliant. I would definitely recommend to anyone in Port Barton.

The ambience was warm and inviting, perfect for both a relaxed meal or a special night out. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Overall, a great spot that I’d highly recommend to anyone looking for great food and a lovely atmosphere. Can’t wait to go back!

Im from Belgium, so yes ... "French fries" we can be very critical about them, but i have to admit... These French fries are outstanding! Even better then in some Belgian places... At Lasanta they were fresh, fried and served TOP notch!!! Btw the grilled octopus was also a killer

Great food, the ciabatta is huge and I really enjoyed their bacon. Owners are hospitable and nice too. Coffee is alright, and when I got there the only waiter was struggling with the service. In my opinion still worth the wait. Would recommend
