Restaurant Guide  
LAS VIANDAS - FUENGIROLA – CLOSE TO BULL RING * * * *
We would like to thank Christine and David Binnie for introducing us to this lovely friendly restaurant which has a very large menu and surprisingly all very good. The food is excellent and so is the price three courses for just 12 euros, or 15 euros. There is also a good A La Carte Menu to chose from,. The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere and the staff are very attentive and friendly.
This restaurant is well established with the locals and therefore is always busy at weekends so it would be advisable to book if you are a large group. One of our favourites.
Directions:- Head for the Myramar shopping centre. At the roundabout, turn left under the Main A7 and you will pass a KIA/Suzuki agent on the left hand side. Continue past the garage to the next roundabout. Turn left and you will approach another roundabout where you need to also turn left. The restaurant will then be on your right as you enter this road.
Tel: 952 47 18 34
VENTA LA MORENA’S * * * *
This is a very popular local Spanish restaurant, and is well known for its speciality BBQ of Meat, for which they are famous. All portions in Moreno’s are huge (Desperate Dan Portions) so if you have children one meal with an additional plate will be ample. Everything comes with chips, baked tomato and alli olli or salad if requested. The Entrecote is our favourite and the flavour is beautiful. We can also recommend the Shoulder of Lamb bruchetta and grilled Dover sole. The mixed grill is not recommended for the English. However, if you prefer fish, Moreno’s has a large selection of fresh fish and paella to choose from.
Morena’s is a large noisy restaurant, ideal for families, it has the most amazing rear terrace for alfresco dining, which is complimented by a beautiful gated playground area for children. The staff are very friendly and happy to assist in any way they can.
Morena’s is a traditional noisy Spanish Restaurant, it will not appeal to everybody, but if you fancy a lovely atmosphere and a safe place for the children – this is the restaurant for you , still our favourite. On the Coin Road Mijas Golf, no need for reservations
MIJAS PLAYER – LA CALA DE MIJAS * * * * *
Superb Restaurant set opposite the beach in La Cala de Mijas . This restaurant prides itself on excellent food and service. This wonderful restaurant benefits from having live entertainment most nights to a very high standard. The menu is extensive with many regional specialities plus a wine list to suit everybody. This is ideal for that special night out. Booking is highly recommended and the table is generally reserved for the night, as dancing follows the entertainment.
This is really an adults venue and it is reasonably expensive but the service and ambience make it all work while. Children are welcome, but it really is not for the young ones. Save this restaurant for a special occasion, birthday or last night you are guaranteed to enjoy yourself and be very spoilt.

Directions:- From La Cala head towards exit A7 Malaga, but turn to right before taking the exit road and follow seafront round. Mijas is on right just as the road bends round with the seafront on the left.
VAL PARAISO * * * *
This restaurant is a top quality restaurant and the Menu is fantastic! There is dancing after dinner and the restaurant has a range of entertainment from opera singers to Spanish dancers who sing and dance during dinner. Thursday night is Flamenco night and probably the best night to take children. This is quite a dressy restaurant, so you would need to dress appropriately.
The setting is beautiful and the service is probably the best you will get in this part of the Costa del sol. Children are welcome, but I would not recommend the restaurant for the very young as it is a long night. Val Paraiso is a must if you haven't tried it before as it is totally in a class of it's own.

Directions:- Situated on the Mijas road, for reservations 952 485996
AROMA – QUALITY BISTRO * * *
This restaurant is situated in the Famous Fish Ally area of Fuengirola. It’s is in a beautiful setting and the food is excellent. Owned by a Scottish couple, we were introduce to this by Gerry and Lynne from Virginia, it is still one of their favourites when they come every year. The food is served to perfection with every little detail taken into account, whether you eat inside or Al Fresco the atmosphere is divine.
A little bit commercialised during the summer months because of the location, but the prices are middle range on this page. Excellent Service and attention throughout. Portions can be a little small side. (Not a restaurant for children)

Directions:- Head for Constitution Square and Park in the car park, exit the square to the left with the church behind you. Take the road to the left that heads towards the seafront. Take the second turning of the left and the restaurant in on the left. Tel: 952 66 55 02

EL OCEANO
On the N340 at Km. 199, the El Oceano has a superb location overlooking the mediterranean. This is the best setting for Sunday lunch on the coast. The price is around 25 euros for two courses, which includes live music and a table over looking the sea. After lunch the singer moves to the pool area where dancing continues until sunset by the pool. You can even take a swim and enjoy a drink at the swim up bar.
They also offer a full a la carte menu every evening. This is not the cheapest restaurant, expect to pay between 60 - 75 euros per person for a 3 course meal with wine, but one of the very best.
This is one of the few places adults can go and enjoy a nice day or evening out without being bothered by children as they are not permitted. The hotel and restaurant are family run and most nights you will find them eating there which is a testament to the food. Their fillet steaks are very tender and the menu has dishes like lobster thermidor.
Coupled with live entertainment every night of the week you are guaranteed a wonderful night out! Tel: 0034 952 587 550 for bookings
EL PONCHOS
This restaurant is fantastic for those who are great meat eaters! If steak is what you want then this definitely is the the place to go! They only serve the best Argentinean beef which is considered the best in the world. The steaks come in various sizes, but I have to say the normal size sirloin (entrecote) is big enough for most people.
We discovered El Poncho’s with our friends Jan and Sean. We ordered Steak of some kind and all were cooked to perfection and the side orders of grilled Mushrooms and caramelised onions just added to the flavour. The portions are huge, so no need for starters. Needless to say El Poncho got the thumbs up from us. Prices are around 25 euros per head, but well worth the money and very memorable. All meals are served with freshly baked rolls and garlic butter.
Located in the centre of Fuengirola opposite the Bowling Alley ( which is now closed) Reservations are advised. When we arrived around 8.30 there was one table available. Located in Calle Martinez Cartena. Telephone: 952 470 695
VILLA TROPICANA
This is our favourite beach restaurant, we discovered it whilst cruising past on the boat, it is not easily seen from the road, therefore you have to look out for it very carefully,
Juan the owner recently demolished the shack that was originally here and replaced it with an amazing rustic restaurant and beach bar to the side. The food is amazing specialising in Fish in Salt, Grilled Turbot, Sea bass, Salmon, Shoulder of Lamb, sucking pork, Entrecote, various meats from the BBQ and Paella.
Tropicana has a vast wine list from basic house to the most expensive wines available. The starters and desserts are to die for, so why not give it a try,

The restaurant is set on the beach and you can watch the sunset over the sea whilst dining, it is a truly amazing experience not to be missed. During the day they offer a snack bar and hammock service. Telephone: 952 465 320 Direction: A7 towards Marbella, take the 1st exit past Club la Costa exit. Park at the bottom of the slip road and walk through the tunnel to the beach.
VENTA LOS MARENOS - ALHAURIN
The restaurant to Los Marenos , is located inland on the road to Alhaurin and Coin at the roundabout section next to the BP Garage. The drive up during the day, is pleasant and enjoyable, going home in the dark is much less desired. Therefore choose this restaurant for a nice lunch.

This restaurant is very popular on Sundays as they cook everything outdoors on a huge open air BBQ. Visited by the Spanish, this restaurant is noisy, cheap and produces good food. I especially like the Chuletas de cordero y pimientos fritas.
It is recommended you arrive before 2.00pm. If you arrive after this, be prepared for a short wait but, you will get a table. Once seated, you will need to wave to get yourself noticed. Once the waiter has acknowledged you it will be plain sailing.
CASA ROBERTO – Calle Espana
This restaurant has the most amazing food. It is truly unique they must have 1000’s of different Golf Clubs hanging from the ceilings and is in the Guinness book of records. Many of our friends and family have eaten here and it comes highly recommended every time. The location is in the side street just along from Constitution Square and is very easy to find. The selections of wine are very good as is the unique menu.

It is recommended that you book as in season there is never a spare seat.

Closed on Sundays.
Directions:- Situated just of Constitution Square in the same road as the Post office.
952 465 809
ALBERTS

Alberts is situated in the Port of Cabopino holding a front line position over looking the boats and harbour. They offer excellent food and entertainment every night, their reputation along the coast has been excellent for years.

Deni and Allane Powel told us it was the best breakfast they had ever had, we have yet to try this out for ourselves but, it sounds great.
Open everyday for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Prices are quite expensive.
The menu is quite substantial and offers a good variety of dishes and wines.

Reservations are recommended. Telephone: 952 83 68 86
BAROLOS RESTAURANTE – FUENGIROLA

We were taken to this restaurant by our very good friends Ruth and Rob. They discovered it by accident the week before. The first thing I noticed was how busy the restaurant was and how friendly and helpful the staff were even under pressure. Vic chose the brushetta and I had the pate with caramelised onions to start, which was recommended by Rob. We both had the linguine with strips of steak and peppers cooked in a mushroom and brandy cream sauce. It was absolutely yummy as was everything we had.

The prices are very reasonable, which always helps. If you have children they offer a good children’s menu and selection of pizzas at only 4.95 euros each.
Barolos is situated on the Paseo Martimo. Ed Paraiso No.38 behind the carousel. Telephone: 952 198 070
EL TOMAQUET – MYRAMAR
Very casual bar with great Spanish atmosphere, the best selection Tapas on the coast and is always busy. Have a drink at the bar and wait for a table if busy! You will not be disappointed.
Recommended dishes
Potata Brava’s – Fried potato chunks with a local spicy sauce. Pinchito de cordero – local lamb kebab – spicy! Rack of Ribs – lovely! Pinchito de gambas y bacon – Prawn and bacon kebab – yum yum Mexicon bomibito’s – spicy ball containing mince and mash potato very much like an inside out shepherds pie – very tasty – Chicken Wings - Hamburguesa Piquena – minature hamburgers topped with cheese, bacon and a quails egg - Yummy
There are many more to choose from – something for everyone Very cheap!
Directions:- Myramar shopping centre, turn left at roundabout and go under A7, at next small roundabout come back on your self, turn first right. THE RESTAURANT IS UP ON THE LEFT.
EL TOMAQUET –FUENGIROLA
This is the same as El Tomaquet in Myramar but it is based in the heart of Fuengirola Town Centre down a side street. The restaurant is huge inside and also has a garden area at the back. The menu is the same as the other restaurant, but they do have a few special dishes everyday. This one is a proper restaurant and I prefer to have that atmosphere rather than that of a working café. I also prefer this one because you can generally get a table within a minute of two.
This is a lovely place to have lunch in the winter, especially if you have been shopping in Fuengirola., it is very warm, cosy and friendly. For some reason this Tomaquet has specials on the menu which the other doesn't have.
You cannot leave the area without trying a traditional Tapas, it's a great way of discovering typical Spanish specialities.

Directions:- Head down to Constitution Square. The restaurant is situated in the side street behind the Post Office (Correos)
TIPI TAPA –MYRAMAR
This Tapas Bar is a little bit more up market than the others. 1st Class service and a smaller menu, everything is lovely except for the pinchito de gambas (I do not no why but it is awful). The dates wrapped in bacon are the best I have ever had! A little more expensive than Tomaquet, but this is more like a restaurant than a Café. The menu is far less extensive than Tomaquet but lovely food all the same.

Directions:- Follow directions for Myramar Shopping centre. Turn left at roundabout instead of entering shopping centre. This takes you under A7 Continue straight ahead to next roundabout, turn left. At next roundabout (It’s a funny shape) turn left again,TIPI TAPA is up here on the right. If you go too far you will hit the Bull Ring Roundabout. Just turn around and it will then be on the left.

JF DESIREE II
 I have yet to see this restaurant empty, it took three attempts to get a table. This restaurant is amazing value for money ! The food is brilliant.....plus the portions are huge! The best way to tackle the menu is to order one dish at a time. House wine is around 5.80 euros and most dishes are around 6.80 euros, but will  be ample for up to 4 people. Combinados are meals, so stay away from them. Everything comes up fast, so pace yourself and only order one thing at a time. If you order a mixed grill the price is 21.00 euros, this will feed 6. The same goes for the mixed fish platter 19.00 euros.
The first time we ordered miles too much! We were defeated before we started. My daughter aged 12 ordered a portion of chicken wings, when the plate arrived we could not believe our eyes, there must have been 25 pieces of chicken on a bed of chips and fried green peppers!
You can eat well here for around 16.00 euros a couple including a bottles of house wine. The restaurant is very buzzy and very Spanish. Situated on the Los Campanales road (Garage Victoria)from the A7. Just opposite Mercadona

EL GOLF * * * *
For some reason it has taken us nearly 6 years to try this restaurant. Considering it is a local restaurant that we pass every day I cannot understand why we didn't try it before. We would like to thank Tony and Richard for introducing us to El Golf.

This restaurant is situated on the Golf Course over looking the famous Los Olivos Golf Course.. They serve a good selection of quality food like Chuletas de Cordero and Turbot which is excellent. El Golf is very popular with holiday makers, golfers and locals. They offer both inside and al fresco seating, all with good views of the Los Lagos golf course. During the day El Golf offer a 9 euro menu which is excellent value offering dishes such as fresh rosada, fillet of beef and pork curry.

Directions:- Turn left out of Main Gates and take the next exit on the left, only a few yards away. The restaurant is on the left.
RESTAURANTE BOTAVARA PLAYA  * * * * *

This restaurant is recommended by the late Raymond Poole it was one of his favourite lunch spots and it has now become one of mine. The restaurant is situated at the far end of the Fuengirola Paseo heading towards the Myramar on the beach side. The location is exactly where the road bends to head into the Myramar area.

This has to be one of the Best Fish restaurants in the Costa Del Sol area. Botavara is situated bang on the beach, They cook fresh sardines and fish on the beach every day. The restaurant is always busy with locals and tourists. They do the best bocarones ala limon, and the paella is to die for. Everything on the menu is good value for money and clearly priced. Beware! Anything sold by the gram ie: Salt fish or cigalas (Scampi) Obtain the price first as these can be quite costly. We like this restaurant so much we hold our annual fishing competition dinner there every year. Booking advisable on Sundays 952 119 269  Closes evenings during winter months.

 
MIRA INDIA – INDIAN CUISINE *****
The trouble with Indian in the Costa Del Sol is they nearly always disappoint you! It is truly hard to find one you would wish to return to, this was a fact until we discovered the Mira Indian
Same Quality as an English Indian – All Cooked Fresh to Order. This restaurant is run by a family from East London and they have tried to recreate the taste we English have come to expect. Until recently the only place to obtain a good Indian Meal was the UK. Try the Chilli Paneer starter, it's wonderful. The staff are very humble and make you feel extremely welcome. All the food is prepared freshly so be patient, we would like to thank Ian Warner for the experience.

Directions: Fuengirola Sea Front, it is on the far end of the Paseo Heading away from the Port End towards the Mosque. Keeping the sea to your left you will find it on the right hand side if you hit the end of the Paseo where the road bends to the right, you have gone too far! Turn around and it will be on the left a short way up from there.
 
THE WOK! *****
This is truly an experience not to be missed! Excellent food at a reasonable price!
This restaurant has a unique concept! You can actually choose your own ingredients from fresh bowls and go up to the wok or Plancha and they will cook it freshly in front of you in minutes. There are 6 different flavours to choose from, which are all truly amazing.
The best part is you can eat as much as you want, and keep going back up for more. This is great if you have a good appetite as the price is a fixed at 12.95 euros per head. Please believe me it is very good value once you see what you are getting. A word of warning! When you enter there is a buffet of normal Chinese, do not make the mistake of filling yourself on these things, because the best food is cooked in the woks!
Directions: Exit at the mains gates and turn left. Follow road to the very end and at the round a bout take the immediate right hand exit. Carry straight on past Dunne's Stores over a small roundabout, The Wok is on the righthand side.
EL SULTAN – MOROCCAN.
If you fancy something different then this is the place to try.
This restaurant has created a fantastic traditional Moroccan atmosphere and has been decorated to make you feel you are actually in Morocco. The staff and very attentive and friendly and happy to advise on the Menu on offer. The food is amazing, albeit mostly lamb dishes or vegetables. Everything comes with couscous and sauces of many flavours. They have an amazing selection of kebabs in all sorts of variations. This restaurant is a must, if you like spicy food. Prices are middle of the road and they have a fair selection of wine including Morrocan

Directions: Turn right at main gates. Head to the Myrmar Park shopping centre. Turn left under the A7.Got past the KIA Agent at the roundabout *Looks like an orange peeling turn right. You will have to come back on your self and take 1st right. Go past Crazy golf and the road bears round to right heading for seafront. El Sultan is on right before the Seafront.
