    Very impressive geographic location. Excellent service and I really enjoyed being served by everyone who attended our table. It's a shame I did not take any pictures but in all honesty sometimes I just want to enjoy eating my food with my barehands like I did today for I have never enjoyed the Moules Mariniere cooked in a spectacular Red Sauce as I did today. It simply was the best and I can't wait to go back and try it again and buy the Chef a drink of his choice to thank him for his culinary taste. Bravo

    Over rated for the food, but a fun place to stop...it's right on the beach & wait staff are great.

    Nice restaurant and views at this restaurant. The paella was tasty but lacked the nice crispy crust at the bottom of the pan. The prawns were large and tasty. I would recommend this restaurant if you want fresh seafood.

    Fantastic sea food, service was great and very friendly, can’t go wrong with sitting on the beach eating anchovies and squid whilst listening to the sea roll in.

    We had beds and lunch here and it was very good. I would have given 5 stars but the lady who takes the booking is not very warm and friendly. She needs to look her customers in the eye and remember it doesn’t cost money to smile. A warm welcome to a restaurant makes a big difference.

    Everything was ok until the waiter brought out the kid’s plate. The fries looked like the very last bits from a potato bag, short and pointy and were too crispy and too dry, as if reheated in oil. Right away, I kindly asked the waiter to replace them and he refused. Seems like they don’t really care about customer satisfaction. The kid didn’t eat the fries since they were just not edible. The atmosphere was nice, though!

    Amazing picturesque view, sea, 🤩 You have to taste the "espeto de sardinas". The staff is the heart of this chiringuito 🦀🥗

    Lovely meal with 1st class service. At €50 the Turbot I had was probably the most expensive single course I’ve ever had but it was done beautifully & it was a big one! All the waitresses & waiters were very attentive & professional without being overbearing. Nice!

    An excellent meal with great staff. When ordering the server actually said we were ordering too much & she was absolutely correct. Prices in this restaurant are very competitive so all in all well worth a visit.

    The friendliest service we’ve encountered in estapona. We came with a baby and all the waiters gave him plenty of attention and were very helpful without being full on. Prices are very reasonable and food matches the price. They do some fresh seafood on a fire pit at the side of the restaurant. Located on the beach with some tables on the sand and sunbed’s to rent.

    Food was ok, but stuff was not always available. We were waiting for waiter to ask for a bill long time. In the end we go inside restaurant and pay on a bar

  • 5/5 Andrada G. 10 months ago on Google
    - amazing food - excellent staff - fast - delicious

  • 5/5 José Daniel Díaz C. 2 years ago on Google
    Based near the traditional slides and climbing frames on the promenade. Paco can proudly state that he's been one of the pioneers in Estepona. I can remember his portable van selling burgers. They were and still are delicious. In this beach bar you will find all types of food, I strongly recommend thr paella.

  • 4/5 Jeeves D. 1 year ago on Google
    Popped by for a quick coffee. The service was pleasant and efficient. It was a quiet morning, but liked the atmosphere. We'll definitely come back to try the food.

  • 5/5 mark m. 11 months ago on Google
    Dropped in last evening. Great atmosphere and really friendly staff from the outset. Waiter suggested a bottle of verdejo ( Ramón Bilbao ) mid range priced which was really nice. We had the mixed fried fish platter, (dogfish, anchovies, sardines, squid, ray, bream), which although delicious, we couldn't finish, all to the sound of the waves. We squeezed in postres, homemade nougat cake and lemon meringue pie. Each really nice. Give this place a try. You won't regret it.

    It wasn't really beach weather and 2 of us ordered meat. One lamb chops one secreto. Both hard and chewy, but the sole was fabulous. So stick yo the fish.

  • 5/5 Karianne Z. 1 year ago on Google
    Great service despite being a very busy place - but I can see why! Great location on the beach and delicious food! And again; wonderful service! Can’t wait to go back!

  • 5/5 jonas s. 9 months ago on Google
    Nice place on the beach and at late evening with a nice breeze. Superb grilled whole fish and fresh salads. Nice desserts and quality wine for 4€ a glas. Excellent service.

  • 1/5 cristina r. 9 months ago on Google
    Very nice place perfectly located. We've been here many times since we have a house since 50 years ago the manager has been rude and unpolite every single time. She is also quite selective and usually doesn't accepts people who want to have a nice "ración" with a beer and not have a full meal.

  • 4/5 Adam S. 1 year ago on Google
    Nine restaurant. Had a baguette which was lovely. The staff seen to be told where to seat people so you can't choose where to sit. Which is a shame. That's what we found anyway. Watching other people arrive, they were also told by the manager where to seat them. Worth a visit though.

    Excellent food on the beach front. Would recommend 👍

  • 3/5 Simon W. 1 year ago on Google
    Have been visiting for 20 years and this time felt that standards had slipped. The ritual order for a sharing plate of °fritura mixta" while still plenetyful, fresh and hot had suffered from a downgrade of ingredients including a remarkable decision to include section of skate wing....which when cut into small sections and the bettered became completely inedible. Still a lot going for it but left disappointed this time

  • 5/5 Jack C. 1 year ago on Google
    I had chicken wings here for the first time now there my favourite food. My family all enjoyed there food. And was well priced and there was a beach nearby. Would highly recommend

  • 4/5 Aija K. 1 year ago on Google
    Quick and polite service. Tasty traditional food like sardines and calamari. Little bit noisy during lunch time, but that's understandable.

  • 5/5 oscar e. 3 years ago on Google
    Very nice restaurant, the paella was Great. The kids loved the kids menu's and we had a nice evening. Also the staff was very correct and nice.

  • 4/5 Philip V. 5 years ago on Google
    Verry nice beach restaurant/bar to have drinks, ice cream or lunch. An elaborated menu with good quality food gives it a good price/quality balance. The kids menu makes it interesting for kids to. If you take a spot at the beach with An umbrella and beach seats, they will bring the food to you. Verry crowdy during lunch. Be in time or reserve your seats! Staff is less friendly during crowdy Moments, but I guess that's stress based...

  • 4/5 Dominika P. 3 years ago on Google
    Food was really delicious - especially calamares! What i did not like - staff talking to me english, though i was talking spanish? I wish there would be more tapas versions of food - for one person it can be difficult to order something else than entire meal. Neverthless - i would recommend!

  • 5/5 Yucel T. 2 years ago on Google
    Restaurant on the beach. It was fully reserved when we rocked up, but they made us a table off the side and we were able to enjoy the amazing fresh food. Beach was busy and this place was far more popular than others we had passed, which says alot.

  • 5/5 fab 1. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing food, amazing place, nearby cheap underground parking. Overall nice place for decent prices.

  • 5/5 Jackie M. 2 years ago on Google
    Paqui & Fran helped us with a large group for my 30th birthday, they were so professional, friendly and were there to help us with anything we needed. I will definitely will be going back!

  • 5/5 Johan L. 3 years ago on Google
    Why have an office when you have great WIFI at the 3rd Linea of hamacas at the beach? Staff respect your privacy and visit you when you ask. Food is as an Chiringito should have. The chef at the grill is super proffesional, and makes the best Pulpo in town! Charred and not dried. Ask for copa of Barchelo-cola and menue after work and enjoy you stay in the best of playa restaurants in Playa de Rada.

  • 5/5 ingrid d. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice staff good place for lunch or dinner. Or just relax on the beach

  • 3/5 Lijana J. 2 years ago on Google
    Calamares were really good but paella definitely not the best we have ever eaten. And had an unpleasant surprise to be charged for bread and butter which we didn't order and didn't eat. It was not fair. Better to call it service fee.

  • 3/5 ShakeUp Y. 2 years ago on Google
    Good beach. Not nice service

  • 1/5 Amandine D. 7 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    EVERY TIME we come to this restaurant, none of the staff are friendly. When we want to take a deckchair in front of the sea or even take a table, the people who work in the restaurant answer us with a haughty air. Worst of all, their food isn't even good. I wouldn't recommend the horrible bell pepper salad at all. The restaurant and staff are not worth it.

👍 Nice spot "on" the beach literally. Very quick service and all very decent. Do like the Spanish...eat fancy late and you will enjoy. Oh, I am used to spicy (believe me, just check my profile and my whereabouts of the last 20 years)...but spicy was spicy!! Great !
