I had a really long wait for my food despite dining solo and not a busy time. However, the food was actually amazing. I ordered the duck and the creamy croquette.

The food was amazing 10/10 !! I especially recommend the brioche with the liver and the brioche with rabo de torro. Make sure to grab a cheesecake before you leave it’s amazing ! Service was great and supper friendly. Must try if you’re in Marbella. Will be back here for sure when I am in Marbella.

We were after a specific dish here in Marbella. Salt baked sea bass and we found it here. This meal for two was 10/10. It was accompanied with amazing Mediterranean vegetables and we had a side of fries. The fish was perfectly cooked and served and deboned in front of us which is quite a skill. We also had tuna brioche to start which was a perfect balance of flavors. We would recommend and would return here.

Real high quality spanish food! We found this restaurant while walking on the sea-side and picked it for its nice island style. We ordered croquettes, patatas bravas, langostino, jamon and pork shoulder and it was everything amazing! Especially croquettes were a master piece with its heated jamon on top; you have to visit while being in marbella!

It's a cool locale with an elegant, rustic atmosphere, nicely prepared dishes, and good service. Enjoyed the Croquettas and chanquetea con huevo. The Presa Iberica is fine. Try instead the delicious rodaballo. The bravas con kimchi are fine as well. The coolant is a good lava cake. Service is attentive, and food came at a good pace (appreciated that they warned us they were backed up before we were seated)
