Frommer's Review

This little discovery outside Marbella is in a rustic hacienda-like house, with internal patios outfitted in plants, trees, and flowers. Hanging hams and ceramics only add to the old-fashioned look. On a full night the place is a whirl of color and activity, and the charming waiters proudly point out the chef's specialties, some of the best of which include noodles with angler fish and baby clams, baby goat from the mountains above Málaga, and savory codfish cooked in a spicy fresh tomato sauce. The flavor of a perfectly grilled and tender veal cutlet is enlivened with rosemary, bay leaf, zesty pepper, garlic, and onion. For beefeaters, the sirloin a la ibérica comes with a tangy sauce made of fresh bay leaf and cloves. More enjoyable still, the restaurant offers a beautiful terrace for enjoying your meal.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
