"Pure heaven. Right in front of sea ( perfect sea view, so close, if you're lucky & get a 'terrace seat) . Seafront drinks isn't that easy to get in Nerja. Up market so slightly more expensive but that's normal. Highly recommended."

"Great food, ideal location next to the sea and lovely service. We got the paella to share between 2 people and a salmon poké bowl, all of it was delicious and reasonably priced and the wait staff were lovely and accommodating to English speakers - we did use our basic Spanish which they went along with! Definitely recommend."

"A 'spur of the moment' decision to eat here for the first time, after walking past and loving the look of what people were eating. A light lunch for two, we shared the shiitake truffle croquettes starter and the goats cheese salad - both looked and tasted fantastic. Beautiful and quiet (when we were there) seafront location too. We will definitely be coming back to try the rest of the menu. Staff very friendly and efficient - muchas Gracias para todos!"

"This is one of my favorite spots for breakfast when I’m in Nerja, perfect for lingering on the beach after a morning walk along Playa Playazo. They were nice enough today to let me substitute the bacon with avocado on toast with egg and tomato. I’m an early riser so the 9:00am opening time works for me but most days they’re not set up until 9:30, when I asked, they said that they get set up when they can. So keep that in mind if you too like to get out and enjoy the morning on the beach."

"Beautiful views, great service. We only stayed for a drink. Had a look at the menu. Lovely food was coming out, great imagination on the menu as I do find Spanish menu's quite the same every where you go. There well in with the dietary needs and have it printed on the menu for allergies. I'm definitely going to try the food out next time we go. Reasonable prices. Clean. Hard working staff and very polite."
