SHOPPING sparkle with chilli and lemon grass Shopping in and curries are rich with aromatic Gibraltar and spicy tastes. Theme: Lek Bangkok in a modern Thai restaurant with influences from both east and west. The restaurant is situated in one of the most modern parts of Gibraltar, Europort is a hive of business activity with surprisingly few places to eat. The restaurant has two floors decorated in Thai artefacts with modern light effects to set the feel. The meal can be formal or informal with family, friends or business colleagues, we have the ability to make every meal a culinary experience that you will never forget. If you are looking for a Spanish-style tapas restaurant bar, you will find no better than Casa Pepe in Queensway Quay. This is the real thing and you can get paella, jamón pata negra, chorizo, as well as a large selection of tapas and canapes. A little farther up the Rock, you will find the world famous Rock Hotel. Dine informally on the Wisteria Terrace where they serve lunches, dinners, and afternoon teas. Or choose the more formal restaurant with its stunning views and 3 course house menu or full a la carte menu.
Price and selection make shopping enjoyable in Gibraltar but there is far more to attract the serious shopper who is looking for quality, diversity or a very special gift. It isn’t just price that attracts visitors because not all goods are cheaper than elsewhere. There are many factors that lure shoppers to the Rock. Most of the shop assistants in Gibraltar are bilingual providing service in either English or Spanish. Tobacco is one of the great bargains in Gibraltar. A carton of Cigarettes will cost half of what it does in Spain and a third of what it does in Britain. Cigars and spirits are also good buys. Those looking for electronic goods and photographic equipment have a number of stores to choose from. Video cameras and some SLR cameras are the best deals to be found. Men looking for a very special gift for their sweethearts will find jewellery a good buy - some items are about 35% cheaper than in Spain. Gold, silver, pearls, diamonds and watches can be found at well established jewellers located on Main Street. Special gifts can be found at some very unique stores.
