El Patio II is part of a chain of 4 restaurants in the Murcia Region. You will find this establishment in Los Alcazares (near Mercadona Square) and if you are a meat lover this is the place to go...they specialise in "Carne a la Brassa" roughly translated that's basically Gilled Meat from their indoor Bar-b-que. They serve some of the best steaks in town and you can order them exactly how you like...remember rare in Spain is "Poco Hecho"...but don't worry they speak sufficient English to make sure you get what you want...try the "Carne a la Piedra" this is where you cook the meat on a hot stone at your own table.
