Review
About
La Brisa offers British and International Food in a relaxed informal environment. Located on the edge of Quesada's main town set back from the busy high street. With its stylish, comfortable interior that complements perfectly the classic features and charm of the wonderful building this restaurant is set in and when the sun is out, with it's cooling breeze there’s no better place for a meal or a drink than out on the terrace or in the relaxing setting of the courtyard. Our aim is this, great food, a warm welcome and great service to match. We also believe in making the most of the seasons so our menu is constantly changing to bring you the best of locally sourced produce. La Brisa has focused on casual dining and delivered the highest of standards since opening in 2015, making it one of Quesada's finest places to enjoy food! With the long term vision of a ‘local’ quality restaurant, Brian, Lisa and their team use high quality, locally sourced ingredients to serve up the best the region has to offer in innovative and classical ways.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This was our first time at this restaurant and an excellent find.
The service is excellent with nothing too much trouble. My husband is unable to eat peppers but alternatives were readily suggested.
The atmosphere is very relaxed and we never felt rushed which can so often happen.
There are plenty of choices for all tastes and the fixed menu is such good value and servings generous.
The food was very tasty and we couldn’t fault anything.
We will definitely be making this restaurant one of our regulars when we return

A great experience! From the moment you enter, the restaurant looks spotless and you are made to feel at home. The staff was 10 attentive.
The ribs were perfect: tender, juicy and with a delicious sauce. And for dessert, the oreo cheesecake was simply spectacular, finger-sucking!
I will definitely come back, not only for the food, but for the good vibes of the place.

Having read the reviews we had very high expectations but these immediately dispelled by the slow service and flat atmosphere. When we arrived it took a while to be given menus (around 10mins) so we were twiddling our thumbs for a while. We also saw another table had barely touched their main courses which was also slightly worrying. The restaurant was only half full but it took over 45 minutes for our mains to arrive (for which I did chase) and the waiting staff appeared be neither interested or attentive during this time. The rather naff background music only added to the dull wait time which is a shame as the food (Chicken & Steak) was pretty good for the price (2 courses for 18 euros) with the apple pie being a particularly highlight.
Its a shame that if the service matched the food it would be a good restaurant to visit but as it stands, I cannot recommend it.

My first visit to La Brisa in December 2022 was as a guest and it made an impression on us.
When a group wanted a venue for a friend’s special birthday, I suggested we try La Brisa as none of them had been there before.
What a good choice it was. The whole evening was just perfect. From the warm welcome the minute we walked in until we fell out, they looked after us and, made our guest feel special which meant a lot.
La Brisa has a varied menu which caters to all tastes and a well-stocked bar to match. Both are complimented by a wonderful service team lead by the owners, Brian and Lisa.
All-in-all a lovely dining experience that I highly recommend to everyone.
Well done and thank you.

Saturday night outing. Restaurant was busy however surroundings and atmosphere were very relaxing and comfortable.
Took a while for food to arrive due to high number of customers however when it came it was all freshly cooked and tasted great.
Would recommend.

I’ve been coming to this restaurant for many years now and the quality and service has been exceptional at all times. It is always good to have a great place to rely on in the ever changing Ciudad Quesada. Been here twice on this trip and loved it both times. Lisa and Brian as well as being great hosts have excellent staff who make every visit a pleasure. The food is fantastic and I was lucky enough to be in a group who left bits of their meals for me to sweep up so I got to taste a good range and all was excellent especially the bit of fillet steak I hoovered up. Already looking forward to my next visit in the future. Thanks and keep up the good work.

The atmosphere is so relaxing when entering this restaurant. You are attended to immediately by Lisa and Jenny. All four of us enjoyed the starters, I had the pate which was very tastey. The others all had different starters and all were praising their food. Three had the salmon main which was cooked to perfection. They all said not had better. I decided on a rump steak which can be tough but usually tastey and was plesantly surprised, it was both tender and full of taste but more than that it was cooked exactly as I ordered (full marks to chef) We will be visiting again soon.

The meal was beautifully cooked, my Steak just melted. My husband had Lamb Tagine, gorgeous flavor. The White Chocolate Cheesecake was divine.
We always choose this Restaurant when we want something special and they never disappoint. The Staff are really friendly and nothing is too much trouble.

We got a table despite the heavy traffic. Nice place with a good view. Pleasant service. They were unfortunately out of stock for some dishes, which was stupid. My wife's steak was slightly overcooked, while my sea bass was well cooked. All in all, we were fairly satisfied with the meal, but not an exceptional experience.

We had our first visit to this restaurant last night and we opted for the 3 course menu.
All 3 courses were delicious as well as being well presented. The steak, which we asked for medium rare but more rare than medium, was cooked to perfection, so tender. We also paid extra for a sauce each, both delicious. The house wine was both tasty and well priced at €2.80 a glass.
Service by Lisa was excellent, despite the restaurant being busy.
Our bill came to just under €50 for two, worth every cent.
Lovely views of the sunset too.
In summary we definitely chose well to celebrate our special day.

Romantic evening to celebrate wedding anniversary. Sat outside with a nice breeze from 8pm. Ordered from menu del noche, food was well cooked and very tasty. Three courses for €22 well worth it.
Nice views from the terrace watching the sunset.
Staff were lovely. Can definitely recommend.

La Brisa is truly a jewel in the crown of Ciudad Quesada. Lisa is great at her job - she serves the food at a very relaxed pace making it a complete dining experience. The food is just great - nice choices and reasonably priced. Definitely worth a visit.

What a great restaurant - lovely staff (you get looked after by the owner Lisa), excellent food at reasonable prices, nice venue with outdoor space, and best of all is the pace of service. You don’t feel like you are being rushed through dinner - it a leisurely delightful experience that I highly recommend. Food is all good; however, the lamb tagine is positively out of this world 😋

We visited here on a Friday evening, we were offered a choice of sitting outside on the terrace or inside in the restaurant, we chose the terrace as it allowed us to watch the sunset over Quesada. The food was amazing, we both had the home made pate to start, which was served with a side salad, mini toast and onion chutney. For mains I opted for a chicken satay salad which was scrumptious and my husband had a fillet steak which was cooked to perfection. Desert was profiteroles which were fabulous. The staff were amazing.
This is definitely a restaurant to put on your list when visiting Quesada.
