P-SSSST, do not tell too many people about this gem ;-)! HANDS DOWN the best food, service and atmosphere in Fuengirola; surely one of my top 3 gems along the entire Costa Del Sol. Maxime, the new owner and Chef since 2-3 years, has undoubtedly gone through the culinary schools, training and experiences around the world. This, coupled with a talent for flavors and creativity, makes for numerous 'classics with a twist', cooked to perfection EVERY SINGLE TIME, and a service team and romantic restaurant location that will not disappoint. 11 out of 10 points would be appropriate and make sure to catch this place before it will be on the MICHELIN GUIDE.
What a lovely cosy place. I ordered their wild cod ceviche which was off the charts. Whole experience was special. Leave the beach and go to this unique place run by a charming Spanish/ Belgian couple.
Went here while visiting fuengirola. Very private and beautiful setting in a courtyard with restaurant one side and people's houses other sides. People going home walk past you which was a bit strange but not really different than sitting outside any restaurant. Very nice when the sun goes down as perfect for couples as very romantic. Service was excellent and food was faultless and would highly recommend. Next time I'm in fuengirola I will be going there again.
What a fabulous find a little off the beaten track but SO SO worth it. Everything was amazing especially the devils prawns and the veal who’ll so highly recommend ps photos don’t do it justice as camera was unfortunately fogged up on Time of taking photos
Fabulous cosy location, super friendly service from the whole staff and delicious food. I was invited to celebrate my birthday and enjoyed every minute! Very peaceful and intimate. The shrimps with the creamy sauce (starter) was very spicy, if you love that you’ll enjoy it. The fresh baby sole fish was pan-fried and served with much butter sauce (slightly too fatty for me), minced potatoes and a salad. The biggest surprise were the ladies who were singing for my birthday! The only minor thing was that we had to wait quite long for the food. So foresee enough time.
What an amazing place Me and my friend commented that this was the best food we’ve ever had on all of Costa del Sol Very cozy courtyard, super friendly and knowledgeable staff and everything we ate was divine! I had to go back again two days later since it was my last evening before returning to Sweden! It will for sure be a place to visit every time I come to visit And it’s very easy to get to, centrally located in Fuengirola, close to the train station.
This restaurant is a hidden gem in the heart of the city. The place is simply magical — from the decor and the fountain to the crisp white tablecloths, every detail has been thoughtfully curated. I absolutely fell in love with their “Ceviche de Bacalao Salvaje”. It’s the perfect fusion between Peruvian and Ecuadorian styles, and the strawberries add just the right touch of freshness and sweetness. For the main course, I highly recommend the Angus beef sirloin the black pepper sauce is finger-licking good. And please, whatever you do, don’t skip the lime pie. This place is an absolute must-have on your list of favorites in Andalucía.
Lovely and attentive service. They were careful with our allergies and adapted accordingly. The food was really good and of high quality — a modern take on French cuisine !
