Perfect Deia (http://www.andrewlloydwebber.com/sections/news/newsdb.php?article=22&section=news)
Puddings are mainly excellent, particularly the summer peach cooked with a local almond ice cream. However, an ice cream dish served with a cold sobrasada, a local sausage with caramelised apricots, honey and a basil cream, is invention taken to absurdity.

If you're a foodie and a connoisseur of c*ck-ups, you're going to love the 2003 AA Restaurant Guide. My first encounter with this glossy, limp-covered tome was last year, when the 2002 edition directed me to one of the worst meals I have ever eaten, of which more anon.
