A new Mediterranean restaurant is opening in Swansea Marina named after the owner's mum

A beautiful new Mediterranean restaurant and terrace in Swansea Marina is gearing up to open to the public. Loli's Mediterranean is the sister eatery of popular independent Spanish restaurant, El Pescador, and is set to launch on June 30, 2023.

Owner of El Pescador and Loli's Mediterranean, Juan Hernandez said the idea for the new restaurant came more than a year ago, after El Pescador customers began to request a wider range of Mediterranean dishes be added to the menu. Realising how popular Greek, Italian, North African and dishes from other Mediterranean countries were, and wanting to offer what his regular customers desired, Juan decided to start adding extra dishes to the El Pescador menu and exploring whether another restaurant would be just as popular as his first one.

Loli's Mediterranean is named after Juan's beloved mother, Loli, who taught him to cook many years ago at their home in Gran Canaria. After growing up on the beautiful Spanish island, Juan moved to Swansea 20 years ago to learn English and soon fell in love with the city. He now considers Swansea his home but loves sharing meals from his childhood and home country with his restaurant customers.
