I had eaten here on a previous trip to Nerja and enjoyed the food but found that the service was very slow so I wasnt in a hurry back, but my five year old son got it into his head that it was the one place he wanted to visit so we relented and took him for lunch. We werent... More

This restaurant is stylish and modern with a well stocked bar. The food is excellent and it would be worth a visit just for the views over the balcon de europa. More

We visit Nerja regularly and always eat in Rey Alfonso on our last night. Hidden away at the end of the Balcon down a flight of stairs, this has to be one of the best places to eat in Nerja. Don't be put off if it'squiet and you don't get seated straight away - it's worth waiting a couple of... More

Everytime we are in Nerja, we visit this restaurant under the Balcony. It is hidden under the nicest tourist spot of Nerja. The food is delicious, we had a vegetarian paella and rey alfonso sole. The food is delicious, portions are enough for an adult. You have a beautiful vie on the sea and de sunset. It is not only... More

from it's location one could belive that this a tourist trap, but since a few years it is a very good restaurant with ambitious cooking. It is not cheap, but not too pricey either. I have never had a bad meal there, portions are large and the food well done. Some evenings they have live bands and the bar is... More

We stopped in here in the early afternoon for a couple of drinks (tinto de verano & San Miguel Especial cerveza) and to enjoy the view. The drinks were good, service was very good and the views were amazing--out first time seeing the Mediterranean! More

No trip to Nerja would be complete without a visit to this amazing restaurant. The food is excellent & very reasonably priced, the staff very curtious & helpful. If you don't see what you want on the menu, they will do their best to cook it for you. Or if you don't want to eat, you will still be made... More

Went there twice, once for my birthday and lately for my wife's one. Excellent food, nice atmosphere, no hassle like most of Nerja's so called "restaurants" . Time enough to eat, drink, talk and enjoy. One of the top ten More
