"I went with a group of friends last Friday at 8pm after a recommendation from a work mate in Gibraltar. I´ve lived in La Linea for around three years now, and none of us had been here before so we thought we would give it a shot. It´s a little off the beaten track but not to difficult to find. The Meson is divived into a tapas bar and a sit down restaurant, the latter of which is well looked after and where we decided to eat as there were six of us and it looked a bit cramped in the tapas bar. Anyways, the service was nothing special if I´m honest. We opted for some starters to share and then some main courses (see uploaded receipt for prices). The food was good, but it was more expensive then what we are used to paying in la linea. Once we divided the bill between 6, it came to 27 euros each, which is quite a lot given that we only had a couple of drinks each. Maybe I´m being harsh and unfairly comparing it to other places in La Linea, but after a big meal like this most restaurants offer some sort of shot of something like Pacharan, but not here, and as a result the general feeling of the group was the night here was okay, but we wouldn´t be coming back and it´s the first time in La Linea that we made a unanimous decision not to leave a tip! Maybe I´m being too harsh after just one visit. But the food didn´t stand out as anything special. But to be fair I will go back and try the tapas bar next time and leave another review."

"Forget about 'Muck 'Donalds which is a few metres away, and eat clean instead at La Linea Verde! We had a very nice welcome from Georgie the owner, who is an animal-loving Hungarian lady. She purchased the cafe premises in this arcade (Av. Veinte de Abril 21 Bulevar) and set up LLV. You walk through the arcade to reach the Gibraltar border from the main plaza in La Linea de la Concepcion. It is literally less than a 5 min. walk from Gibraltar/Spanish Customs. Find LLV located opposite the Transylvanian Cafe! It is advertised as a Food Takeaway but if you want to perch outside and the weather is warm enough, she has a couple of little tables. Georgie offers one main meal a day with other items like sandwiches also on offer. I was amazed that the 'omelette ' in my sandwich was actually ground up chickpeas done in a pan in such a way that I was pretty convinced there was egg in my sandwichThe desserts were especially tasty. The most surprising thing of all was the brilliantly low price. I think it would have been nice to have had some hot vegetable soup available in November, and the toilets (they are not the cafe 's, they are a shared bathroom for all the street cafes in that area) was, with so much foot traffic, not the most pleasant place. On the other hand it was great to be able to park underground really close by and quite cheaply too. We will return!"
