😠 Owner was incredibly rude. I have been here several times and loved it. I asked if I could take a look around as they had changed the outdoor seating since the last time I had been there ( before I sat down and had lunch) and he told me I couldn’t take a look around. He was very aggressive and rude.... People often mention view, beautiful, Ronda, excellent, service, views, restaurant, people,

    Owner was incredibly rude. I have been here several times and loved it. I asked if I could take a look around as they had changed the outdoor seating since the last time I had been there ( before I sat down and had lunch) and he told me I couldn’t take a look around. He was very aggressive and rude. No wonder the rating has dropped so much in the last year. Avoid this place. So many wonderful places in Ronda with equally beautiful views and much nicer.

    Immensely rude. We came to ask if we can check the terrace and decide if we want to eat there, but we were told that it is not possible, no viewing. The disinterested looking guy told us with great “grandeur” that he hung photos of the restaurant at the gate, we should look at those! When I continued asking for an explanation, as I was puzzled by his answer, he turned even more rude and his body language was showing we are not welcome. When I asked for the manager, he called a lady (polite) who tried to explain. That explanation was interrupted by an “ogre” (I suspect the owner) holding a baby in his arms who came to tell us that this is how it is, take it or leave it. What followed was a heated argument during which he aggressively (while holding a baby) shouted that they like nice, polite people, not people like us. Wow, I have never experienced such a thing in my life. I would say: avoid this place! They value themselves higher than the customer and have no idea how to treat a potential client. 👎

    We arrived pretty early, few minutes after they opened, therefore the place was completely empty. We sat at a clean table with beautiful view, ordered beer and croquettes and watched the terrace fill up with people. The food was homemade and tasty, however I wouldn't mind a bigger portion for the price. The staff was very helpful, even though they didn't speak much English. The indoors are beautiful, couldn't believe it's a real path to the toilets. Finally, we had a quick chat with the receptionist. Quite lovely place, star down for the smaller portions and that they would also probably sit us near the entrance, if we came for drinks only.

    Beautiful views, but this city if full of that. Lovely patio. The “ensaladas” are not really salads. The bruschetta salad was just a thick piece of bread with topping. Looked good, but shouldn’t be in the salad section. Food was actually amazing in flavor, but the chicken skewers came out very cold and the service was so slow we just decided to eat rather than wait and send it back. The shrimp was amazing, so were the spinach croquettes. But the cold chicken and slow service and the PRICE made it a little difficult.

    The view is excellent, but the service is not the best. Our food was brought to the table separately, and slowly, so it was quite awkward waiting for the last person to get their food. Meanwhile other people who arrived later had already gotten theirs. The food itself was OK. Grilled veggies meant 3 pieces of sad looking green pepper. In overall, I wouldn't recommend.

    Hidden restaurant with beautiful view and great food.

    Relaxed and calm oasis with astounding views. You can see the bridge and the surrounding countryside very well, and sunset is amazing. The staff and friendly and you can walk around the garden and explore a bit. Don't leave without trying the lemon cake!

    We hadn’t even stepped in when we were asked to leave for not saying hello on entry. 😂. Maybe they didn’t know that my friend can’t see with his left eye and takes some time to adjust to his surroundings, but it still doesn’t excuse the sheer rudeness of the manager. They probably don’t need customers if they can so easily dismiss business. But I definitely don’t need anyone to school me at this stage. Even less when all I wanted was a peaceful coffee! We are at nearby Abades Ronda, with stunning views and very friendly staff. Much more recommendable!

    Seems like some people have had mixed reviews here but we found dinner here to be fabulous. We enjoyed our favorite meal of our honeymoon so far, with great sangria topped with cinnamon, beautiful views of the sunset over the mountains, and friendly wait staff. Food was excellent and a good value. We were lucky the Albacara restaurant was at capacity and we ended up discovering this wonderful place!

    Very beautiful mansion with overlooking landscape surrounding Ronda & white township.. The food is nice & good but slightly expensive.. The staffs are friendly, I was surprised with boss talk back to us in Malay, terima kasih.. Very underated star ranking so please come & try out this place..

    Probably most people go here because of the view. It is a solid place if you want some drinks. We did not order any food. Indoor and outdoor seatings are available. They accept cash and card.

    It was honestly the best place we visited in Ronda. Such a hidden jam without a crowd of tourists. Super lovely waiter and barista! and that view! 🥹🫶🏼 Spent two hours just enjoying the calm surrounding and drinking wine! Me and my husband especially appreciated the fact of them not playing any music as it was just perfect this way! Un grande placer!

    I love it. A nice small restaurant in Ronda with an excellent view. The personnel and the foods are at high level. Try t!

    Second time I have been here and it’s an absolute gem. Hidden off the beaten track and with breathtaking views. Six of us had everything from the starter menu and they were all delicious. Couldn’t recommend enough.

    Best place in Ronda. No further description needed

    We have had a wonderful evening here. Being alone in this beautiful restaurant, the service was very personal and lovely. We even got a Bluetooth box to play our favourite music. We definitely come back again. This place is known for a spectacular view towards Ronda with a beautiful terrace. But you need to see the inside absolutely too.

    We were trying to find the path to down into the gorge, so we could view the bridge. But this was closed, so found this place. Had to order some drinks in order to enjoy the view. €4 for an orange juice...well there you go. While we were enjoying the experience... decided to eat. So asked for some menus...only to be told the kichen opens at 7.30pm. Never mind!

    Excellent restaurant, a small but varied menu, mixed of Spanish classics, tainted of Asian fusion: Tatiki, Sushi and tempura neighbour to a Lamb brioche and medallions beef steak. The food was excellent. Good service and a beautiful terrace surrounding the view down Ronda's cliff... And the sunset on the mountains. Recommended.

    This was our best meal in Spain. We were a large group, and the service was still excellent. We ordered several items off the menu (gazpacho, burrada salad, chicken and pork skewers) and it was all delicous! So well-seasoned and flavorful. Our waitress recommended the hamburger, and what do you know? It was unlike other burgers I had had before and it was excellent. The view is also incredible.

👍👍 Possibly my favorite spot i visited in Ronda! Our receptionist recommended this spot as his favorite so we thought to try it out. We had the acorn fed pork which was possibly my favorite food of my entire visit to Ronda, so crispy and tender! We also tried the spinach croquettes which were delicious...
