Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

This is the 2nd time we have dined here and both times the food and the service has been excellent, it is a wonderful restaurant with a choice of set menu or order off the main menu, the shellfish soup is delicious and one that...you won’t get as good anywhere, it’s a great dining experience and if you’re lucky enough to be in Fuengirola you must try it but make sure you book as it’s a very popular place.More

Sunday lunch. We were once again feasting at one of our best places to eat in Fuengirola. The menu of the day was delicious as always. We recommend and will definitely be back. Book a table because the place is quite small and often booked.

This is a favourite restaurant of ours so chose this for our parents 58th wedding anniversary dinner. On arrival, the table was decorated and had a message on a light ox too. Made it very special. As always the food is fantastic. What would I...recommend? Absolutely everything on the menu! Highlights - oxtail soup, ribs, pork in peanut sauce, croquettes, crispy prawns. Thank you soooo much Mike and the Team for making our night special, you should be very proud of your restaurant.More

Lovely little find through TripAdvisor, so thank you everyone. Very nice food, atmosphere and staff. It’s always so nice to be greeted by smiling staff as you walk through the door, and they were busy. Will definitely return and have recommended to others. We were...lucky, but you may want to book because it’s only small.More
