Despite being a regular visitor to Nerja this was my first visit to Calabaza. The town was quiet in January and we were the only visitors at lunchtime. Despite this we were made to feel welcome and the service was friendly and personal. We had a light lunch and the food was simply delicious. I look forward to having dinner... More

We were given this place as a recommendation by locals. We went at lunch time and ordered a selection of tapas at the bar as we weren't ready for a full meal. It is absolutely lovely and a really nice change from the usual tapas. The food is contemporary and interesting often with an Asian hint. Really, really nice. They... More

Having been disappointed on our return to other restaurants or hotels we had previously been impressed by, we hoped this would not happen with Calabaza a year on from our earlier first visit(s). We need not have worried: everything about this place is perfect for a good night out. The food is prepared and presented with love, and is served... More
