Don't expect the default sardines at this trendsetting fusion favourite across from Playamar beach's western end. Asian flavours abound in offerings like Sri Lankan curry, chicken satay, tuna tataki and Thai shrimp cakes – but the real showstopper is El Gato's 'tapas experience,' featuring a flamboyant assortment of 12 Mediterranean-Asian tapas finished off with apple pie and cinnamon ice cream.
The relaxing beach-facing interior has a luxuriant allure, and the cocktails and highly attentive staff mean most people linger. The restaurant and the beach in front have long been favourite hangouts for Torre’s gay community.
