Arco Tapas Bar

Went with a friend for an evening meal . We made a reservation in advance so could request outside . Nice people watching spot on the street but not very comfortable . Food was amazing with unique choices - all dishes were packed with flavour and fresh. We had meatballs, mozzarella toast, fish tacos and fried aubergine. Aubergine portion was small considering the price . Service massively let the place down. Servers were not confident or professional , and service of drinks was slow. We ordered cocktails and waited 20 mins for them, a further 10 mins for our water. A small mention of the wait time to prepare could have avoided our frustration. Overall I would recommend but service definitely could be improved

Lovely tapas bar in a great location in the old town Fish croquettes, meatballs and burgers were lovely and we also ordered ceasar salad which was really fresh with loads of chicken Staff were friendly

One of the best tapas bars we have been to! They have a lot of different options, and the waiter was very helpful and knowledgeable when I asked if the dishes we wanted were gluten free. He asked the kitchen when he was unsure and I felt very safe. We ordered 5 different tapas dishes, and from these I would really recommend you to try the risotto, cheese fondue and the chorizo with scampi. Every table was full the first time we tried to eat here, and they had one available table the second time, so would recommend everyone to reserve a table if you want to eat in peak time. They have tables both inside and outside of your choice. It’s a big variation of the quality of the restaurants in the old town, but this place I would really recommend.

Second time lucky trying to get a table and for a very good reason; this restaurant is an absolute peach! The welcome was warm but the drinks, including the lovely house Cava were cold and spot on. As for the food, we had a variety of dishes which were all cooked and served to perfection. I had the chicken and bacon Caeser salad which was up there with the best of them. As for the fish tacos, just brilliant. If you can get a table, make the most of it. Reserving a table is almost certainly recommend but we got lucky with people just leaving. Truly one of the best in the old town and for perspective, I really love my food fresh and non pretentious.

Lovely little spot. Good and different choice of taps. Spicy fish taco, tuna tataki, etc. Went mid afternoon in June. Service was a bit too relaxed but nothing too bad. Nice wine too. I recommend this place.

We tried several different tapas at Arco Tapas Bar and every single one was excellent. The standout for me was the grilled octopus with potatoes — absolutely delicious. It’s also a fantastic place to sit back and enjoy the unique atmosphere of Marbella’s charming streets (when sitting at outdoor patio). A wonderful spot for great food and a memorable experience.
