Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Authentic European cuisine set in a beautiful spot of torremolinos. Superb views as the sun sets. Food was tasty and nice size portion. Advised to book as it was busy at the start of the week. Waitress a little stern but attentive. Walk to the...restaurant take care as if wet steep steps can be slippy. Did try to return for a second visit whilst on holiday but was closed for the night mid week. However will be back again soon.More

This Little Restaurant is absolutely beautiful in two different ways! First of all the restaurant itself is situated on the steps down to the beach in Tormalinos. Inside feels very much like home and it offers a fantastic and in my opinion beautiful view of...the beach! This was our second visit as we went here here a few nights ago and was that impressed with the quality of food and service we came back for our last nights meal. The food is very Traditional but it's cooked to absolute perfection! I had tomato soup for starters then a beautiful medium rare fillet of beef with vegetables and a peppercorn sauce. We also had a very nice jug of sangria to share which went down a treat! We were both very impressed with the service and level of care shown in this beautiful place and Will be back when we come over from Engalnd once more!More

A lovely atmosphere and warm, friendly staff (Bianca and Teddy) met us when we went to Restaurante La Escalera. I highly recommend this cosy little gem of a restaurant if you're visiting Torremolinos. Thank you, Gisbert, for the best tarte tatin I have EVER eaten.

We dined at La Escalera two times during our 7 nights stay in Torremolinos. Very cosy ambiance with pleasant staff. Bianca gave us good advice on red wine and food. The service was excellent. My daughter and I really appreciate and highly recommend the place!

Charming restaurant with lovely ambience and friendly staff. Had a lovely fish and very tasty wine. What would be amazing would be if the fries were hand cut rustic. Very enjoyable meal.

Having been a few years since our last visit we came back again and were not disappointed, steak was still stunning, house red wine absolutely stunning! Waiting impatiently on the desert (20 minutes to be freshly prepared)! In the words of Arnold Schwarzenegger….. we will...be back (next Thursday… with dad…. A hard one to please)❤️More

Three of us spent six nights in Torremolinos and on three of those evenings we dined at La Escalera. The restaurant is small with a the three person multi-lingual staff which is welcoming and gregarious. As with most really good restaurants, the menu (in eight...languages) is not overly extensive so the food is excellent and extremely reasonably priced. We would return in a heartbeat. Reservations are not required but highly recommended.More

Small and intimate restaurant in the upper part of the stairs with nice view. The menu isn't so big but there are enough with meat and fishdishes. Sauce is served together with most of the dishes. We had sole fillets filed with shrimps. Unfortnately wasn't...the fish good at all, it was hard and dry. The sauce was very nice and also the shrimps. Service was ok.More

We found La Escalera quite by accident one night and were delighted with our meal there. Host was very attentive and service was very good also. The quality and presentation of the food was excellent. Also very good value for money. We returned to La...Escalera on the last night of our holiday and were not disappointed - everything just as good. Will definitely return next year.More
