Eating is one of the activities to which we dedicate an incredible amount of time a day and that we tremendously enjoy, even though we can’t do it as much as we’d like to with work and all the routinary things we have to do everyday that makes it even more complicated to go out to lunch or dinner.
In Spain we are known for our rich gastronomic offer, it’s one of the main attractions for people that come over other parts of the world to get to know our products. The mediterranean diet has become internationally famous even in America where they’re starting to get the benefits of healthy eating. In the South a proper diet is one of the main concerns and we love to socialize while having a lovely meal. But, as ever, there are doubts. Where to eat? Where am I going to get the best home made food and attention?
At the Costa del Sol there’s a lot of diversity, when it comes to types of food there’s no restaurant missing to fit everyone’s liking if you would like to go out and celebrate some special moment or just hang out with friends for a while. Our food is delicious, but nevertheless you absolutely can find what you are looking for, whatever your preference in food is.
Which are the most recommended places to eat in Marbella?
Our liking in food may vary when it comes to food, of course, so it depends to what we feel like eating at the moment, which is not always the same but you may find options for just everyone. You can find famous firms like VIPS, that nowadays are promoting more than ever to be open to just everyone to serve them just what they need or want, no matter if they’re vegetarian, lactose intolerant, allergic or you don’t like certain ingredients. They don’t offer that kind of attention everywhere, so their slogan ‘we’re open to everyone’ means exactly that. Every person has a place to eat there. And they know just how vital this is.
The restaurant – tabern Gaspar is a huge favorite and a safe option to go to if you want homemade, delicious food at a great price, I specially recommend the paella and spanish omelette. It’s located at Avenida Belón in Notario Luis Oliver street, you can find this cozy tabern where you are made sure you won’t leave without having a great, satisfactory meal.
The plaza de los naranjos is another famous location at Marbella old town where the essence of what Marbella was long ago still stands to this day. In the little shops, their chapels and of course the orange trees that give name to this lovely orange square as it’s known among people that come visit. You can choose among the variety of restaurants you can find while you’re just walking over there to enjoy our quality products. The Bar Altamirano is a great example of home made Andalusian food praised by everyone that’s ever been there. You may find it at Mendoza street, one of the most popular at the old town. Another positive about this location is that you can go for a walk after feeling so full from your meal out and just enjoy the beauty of the most charming part of the city.
The Boulevard at San Pedro Alcántara has the charm of a large promenade surrounded by little businesses that have improved over the time it’s been built which is not too long ago that’s earned the title of the most beautiful part of San Pedro city. Just a walk away there’s a little place where you can rest, have a beer and eat really good – and generous – tapas. The place is called El Comercio, you may not want to miss their secreto ibérico with fries. The tables placed outside are perfect for the summer but you can also go inside if there’s room. It is adviced to book your table in advance, though. Specially for the festivities that we’re now facing.
Going out for lunch or dinner is one of those things we invest a lot of time and money in, even repeating the experience at the same place if we’ve loved it. We all do have our favorite restaurant and type of food. But, truth be told, there’s nothing like typical mediterranean food when greatly cooked is an unforgettable experience. Money can’t pay that satisfaction.
