We had monkfish wrapped in serrano ham which was to die for and we also had the rack of lamb with herb crust for two which was cooked to perfection, all was served with mixed veg, rice and... More

High quality food with freindly and attentive service. The only restuarant in Nerja we decided to visit twice ( we ate out 13 nights out of 14) and returned on our last night. Hard to pick the best starter, salmon crepe, prawns pil pil and onion soup were all extremely good. As were tapas dishes we tried. For the mains... More

Really enjoyed the food, we have eaten there twice now. Good tapas and some selection of vegetarian food, which suited me fine. very tasy indeed. I'm hoping they may add different veggie options every few months because I want to visit regularly and I'm back out to Nerja in September! Friendly service too. More

Two years ago when we found this restaurant we loved it and went there most nights for a meal. This October we visited it again and found that it was not as good, maybe it was the dish we ordered, and we were so disappointed. We found it expensive for the small portion we received and would not visit there... More

Introduced by our friends this restaurant serves high quality food, well presented,pleasant surroundings and perfectly spoken English by the owner, Jose, proud father of beautiful twins. Can't wait to return during our next visit in March 2011. No hesitation in recommending this to fellow visitors, Slainte, Patrick & Moyra McSherry More

Very well cooked food, good service and good value. I can recommend the pasta dishes. Free shot given with the bill. we found most places on Burriana beach to give free shots, unlike the restaurants in the town. More

What a find! The food service and wine were superb. A very interesting menu with highly imaginative dishes. The fish dishes of monkfish and palma ham, and baked cod with prawns were stunning. We are amazed more reviews have not been written, as this restaurant could hold its own with highly acclaimed restaurants in cities throughout the world. You will... More

This is easily the best restaurant in Nerja. It's a short stagger from Burriana beach for lunch, or a clatter down the hill in the evening. The tapas are spectacularly good, all fresly prepared, using the best ingredients. It is run by a charming husband and wife team, Jose and Sandra, one Spanish, the other German and the food, while...
