We were one week in Fuengirola and this was the first restaurant we visited. The food was excellent and the service very good. Since we were so satisfied, we went back on the last night and were not disappointed. We have tried steak, chicken steak, roast chicken and strawberry ice dessert and everything was delicious. The atmosphere is very calm, a little bit away from the biggest tourist bars. We give our highest recommandations

I had lunch here. The service was very good. Not too crowded. A fairly diverse menu with some traditional dishes, but catering to all tastes.

We are 6 days in on a 2 week holiday. We have been there twice and will be be back again. Waiters are friendly and helpful, Fernando is top class. The food is excellent and reasonably priced. We had salmon in orange sauce, we were not sure about ordering it but it was lovely. The grilled sole with vegetables and lovely sliced potato was excellent. Night 2 had chicken skewers with chips and vegetables very nice, might get it again. My wife had the pepperoni pizza and loved it. Sangria was great and gin and tonic was spot on. Free shot of limon Chloe to end the night went straight to my head. 8 days left in holiday , we will be back.
