Restaurants in Marbella: Discover the most outstanding options

Absolutely incredible experience from start to finish. We booked a private chef for our villa in Calahonda and it completely exceeded expectations. We were treated to a beautifully prepared bottomless breakfast by him and Joshua, with an amazing variety of fresh, high-quality food — from perfectly cooked hot options to fresh fruit, and great iced coffee. Nothing ever felt rushed and everything was presented beautifully. The cocktails were equally outstanding, they kept flowing all morning. It honestly felt like having a luxury boutique hotel experience in the comfort of our own villa. What made it even more special was the service. Friendly, professional, attentive without ever being intrusive, and they created such a relaxed, fun atmosphere for everyone. If you’re staying in Calahonda and want to turn your holiday into something unforgettable, I cannot recommend this enough. Worth every penny and easily one of the highlights of our trip. We’ll definitely be booking again next time.

he came he cooked he conquered. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from start to finish, the entire process was a breeze. the communication and planning was absolutely seamless. the table decorations, the cocktails, and my gosh the FOOD. THE FOOD. i cannot tell you how incredible every single course was, from the canapés to the Lava chocolate cake, incredible. don’t hesitate in booking, i promise you will not be disappointed. 14/14 guests satisfied. 🚀

Amazing evening in our villa with Chef Davis and Connor. Both lovely and very friendly. We opted for the premium bbq menu, chef Davis spoke prior on WhatsApp to confirm the food etc. turned up with all his equipment etc including plates, glassware, napkins, table cloth etc although our villa luckily was equipped. We had little canapés at the start. Starters included bbq chicken and loaded nachos with guac and homemade chilli as well as pill pill prawns and padron peppers. We removed all pork off the menu so mains we had chicken thighs, entrecôte steak and very kindly they included sea bass for me as I don’t each much meat! We had coleslaw, potato’s, Greek salad Dessert we all went for crème brûlée which was good! Menu also include mojitos and beers Was an amazing night and would definitely recommend and use chef Davis again!

Hired chef Dāvis for a hen party and chose the 3 course menu. There are no words to describe how amazing the whole experience was, the most incredible delicious food which was all made fresh and friendliest chef and waitress! Would give 10* if I could- highly recommend !

What can i say?! 10/10 service throughout! Communication, food, everything was great. We booked Chef Davis for my sister’s hen do and he went above and beyond. Will definitely book him again!

Really enjoyed our evening with Chef Davis & his awesome team. Food was excellent, communication upfront very smooth & proactive and they have great eye for details. The waiters were very attentive and it felt like they could read our minds. We were a group of 18 including lots of allergies, some vegans and children and they made sure everyone got to enjoy the full experience! Absolutely recommend them!

Davis comes highly recommended from All of us who had a dining experience in Marbella recently. A wonderful chef, the food was amazing! The organisation and communication from start to finish has been great. The setup and table decor made our evening super special for a hen doo. Everything was perfect and exceeded our expectations. We had such a memorable evening and nothing was too much trouble. Would not think twice about booking Davis again when we return

Excellen food if you are in the hunt for Italian food, bice outdoor patio on the sea view, highly recommend it.

The food was really good and the portions were very generous👌🏾The meat I requested passed the point a bit, but was still tender and tested amazingly good😉The servers were very attentive specially Maria that was excellent with our daughters, which made the experience even better😊. Pepe, which is the director was extremely helpful and attentive to us as well and we loved the experience. It’s a place to return for sure😉👌🏾

Fantastic meal and the staff were so helpful, a dining experience for sure , steak was great and the staff and management were great, highly recommended this restaurant if you like your steak and the fish was great too.

I had a fantastic experience here. The steak was cooked exactly as I requested, juicy, and seasoned perfectly. The quality of the meat was outstanding, and every bite was delicious. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The restaurant was clean, comfortable, and had a great atmosphere. Highly recommend this place for anyone who loves quality meat and excellent service!

Really nice place I loved La Cabrera experience

Such amazing food, really exceeded our expectations! Red 1 (waiter) was so attending and kind, definetly elevated our experience. They bring out little appetisers free of charge and sauces for your food that you can choose from. Would highly recommend this place!

Our Arabic waiter was horrendous. He kept absolutely insisting on what we take and what we remove, and it wasn’t in a nice suggesting way but rather insisting as if it came from his own money he also argued on how I should have my steak cooked and when I insisted it is cooked the way I wanted he went ahead and said okay and guess what he ended up cooking it like the way he wanted and told me “this is better” the bathrooms were also not that clean the water was cold and both toilets were dirty one even had those poles inside of it. I must admit the atmosphere was good and the rest of the staff were good especially one of the women who kept brining us samples from the chef. It was a decent experience ruined by the waiter who kept dictating our order and steak cook.

We had an amazing experience at Mogli Beach Club! The atmosphere was beautiful, the food and drinks were excellent, and the service truly made our visit special. A huge thank you to Elena Aragon, Elena Torija, Sall, and Edu for taking such great care of us. They were all incredibly friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit. Their professionalism and positive attitude made us feel so welcome. I highly recommend Mogli Beach Club and can’t wait to come back. Thank you for an unforgettable day!🫶🏼

Had the best girls day at Mogli Marbella 🌴☀️ Amazing vibe, beautiful pool club, great music and perfect atmosphere all day long. Everything was absolutely perfect, and a special thank you to Elena Aragon from the staff for being so kind and attentive ❤️ Truly one of the best beach club experiences in Marbella. Can’t wait to come back ✨🍾

Amazing place, the service is impressive. It genuinely Makes you feel like a princess at some point. Everything tastes good too. And Mariana is perfect. Highly recommend.

The atmosphere was amazing. Elena was really kind and made us feel special the whole day. The drinks and food were incredible. A 10/10 experience, def recommend

Alll the staff are lovely and welcoming. Recommend getting a bed on the day if possible! The bouncers on the door today were so friendly! Sushi was so tasty and so was the mugli house punch! And Jose and Alberto were soo good with us.

Alberto and Jose were amazing hosts, me and the girls had such a good time and nothing was too much. Was very hot and they kept topping our ice and drinks up!

Had the best day at Mogli, honestly such a nice beach club, really good vibe without trying too hard. Joan and Martha have been looking after us all day and they’ve been amazing. Super attentive, really friendly, and just made everything easy. Proper good service without being in your face. The whole place is just a vibe, nice setting, chilled but still feels a bit boujee. Would 100% come back.

This meal was so outstanding we didn’t want it to end. The view was great, the service amazing but the food – out of this world. The flavours, the creativity, the depth were mind blowing. Our waiter Nikita was knowledgeable, kind and considerate (especially to non Spanish speaking visitors). The pace of the meal was perfect – we started with just entrees and that was more than acceptable by Nikita, then he helped us with the mains and then desert. There was never any rush or over salesmaney tactics. Just incredible food done incredibly well. A must if you are in Marbella or Spain for that matter.

There are evenings you simply want to relive. Last night was definitely one of them. The Tuna Cut Show was truly exceptional. The freshest tuna, beautifully crafted dishes, a wonderful atmosphere, live music, and impeccable service came together to create a truly memorable experience. Every detail was thoughtfully executed—from the professionalism of the team to the outstanding cuisine and the impressive variety of dishes. It was an unforgettable evening. Thank you for such a wonderful experience. We will definitely be back! ✨🍣

The view, the portions, the prices, the service and the live music is just perfect. Among all these tourists traps, this one is worth a visit and definitely a remarkable example for a great restaurant. Also no long waiting times even though it was quiet busy. We definitely would pay it a visit again if we are in Marbella again!

Awesome ecperience. Ordered a Beef tartar as starter and Pizza Margerita bufala as Main. The Service is 10/10 Great, very polite and on point. Food is amazing. I can only recommend! Enjoy!

Ending our trip at Luini Sea View in Old Marbella was the perfect decision. This is one of the best Italian restaurants I’ve experienced. The food stays true to authentic Italian flavors while adding a refined modern twist. It’s the kind of restaurant that deserves to expand across Europe and the Middle East. A special thank you to Daria, whose warm hospitality and genuine friendliness gave us a wonderful first impression. She made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The chicken pizza completely changed my opinion of chicken pizza, it was perfectly balanced and absolutely delicious. The garden salad had a beautifully balanced dressing, the Pil Pil was spicy and full of flavor, the Paccheri “Cacio e Pepe” was an absolute must, and the lemon sorbet was the perfect finish with its refreshing balance of sweet and sour. An unforgettable dining experience and the perfect way to end our Marbella trip. Highly recommended!

Great place for Italian food! We sat inside and it was cool and pleasant. We had starters of pate and Vitello Tonnato which were fresh and delicious. Their pizza and pasta were great. There was no service and we had to wait to order drinks, we noticed that the staff were having lunch and there was almost no one to serve us. We will definitely come back again for the food and the atmosphere.

I enjoyed a lovely dinner at this restaurant. I reserved a table before coming. The waiter who looked after our table was incredibly welcoming and attentive, and we felt very well taken care of throughout the evening. The food arrived quickly, and the pizza was absolutely delicious, my mum even said it was the best pizza she’s ever tasted (and she’s tried quite a few!). The atmosphere in the restaurant was cosy and inviting, perfect for a relaxed evening. I especially appreciated the thoughtful touch of being offered a blanket to keep warm during the January chill, it made the experience feel even more special. I would highly recommend this place and would happily return.

We had the pleasure of both Nicholas and Sergio cooking and hosting us . The food was absolutely delicious and they were both so attentive and provided a really professional and slick service. I would recommend them both very highly

Nicolás and his team delivered an excellent meal for my group of 16 people. He arrived early, and left the kitchen spotless. We had different catering requirements, for vegans and vegetarians who attended. I felt at ease with Nicolás’ flexibility in curating the different menus. The food was delicious, and I look forward to eating his food again!! 😊

Nicolas was great from the moment I inquired to book until the very last minute. Guests were beyond happy with the quality of the food, presentation and service. Hope to use him many times in the future.

Nicolas is a fabulous chef, we booked him in for a 5 course fine dining experience for 3 in our villa & it was simply magical! The food was delicious, presentation super elegant & Nicolas is so lovely to deal with 🙏Highly recommend to use his services, we’ll definitely do it again

Nicolas & Sergio were absolutely amazing We were treated to the most incredible 4 course meal at our airbnb in Marbella this evening. Nothing was too much trouble having two small children 2 & 3 they catered for us all so well. I am a pretty strict vegetarian and the meals that were cooked for me I really have to give a 10 out of 10 for service, taste and visually food was the best Excellent food, excellent service and both Nicolas & Sergio gave us the best home cooking experience ever Would recommend in a heartbeat Thank you for making our experience so special Highly recommend 5 BIG STARS ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨

Nicolás was extremely communicative and accommodating with the menu planning for our group of 11. The food was delicious, great quality and plentiful! We will definitely hire Nicolás again during our next visit. Muchas gracias!

Last Friday 19th April 2024 my wife and I celebrated our 45 wedding anniversary in the company of family and friends and we have the privilege of Chef Nicolas Echazarra and Irene to look after us and special our guests during this unforgettable experience. The food was first class and Nicolas and Irene attention to detail ensure everyone was well looked after during the meal and all time afterward, Indeed I shall most definitely bring this chef and assistant again.

We visited Beïty Marbella twice for brunch during our 10-day stay, and it was simply outstanding. The food is beyond delicious, every dish is packed with flavor, beautifully presented, and made with such care that you just want to keep coming back. The service is equally impressive: warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. You immediately feel at home, yet treated to something special at the same time. Beïty has definitely become one of our favorite spots in Marbella, and we can’t wait to return. Highly recommended for anyone who loves amazing food and top-notch service!

Very cool place nice atmosphere and staff 👏🏼🤍 the food is very delicious 😋 most are like Moroccan food with western style 👌🏼

Brunch today was very nice. Our large group had pre-selected menu items; appetizer plates of pita and dips, main dish of chicken or beef tagine, tea and small sweet dessert. I had the beef, which came with roasted dates and quail eggs in a rich sauce, and it was delicious. Thanks to the young. energetic and friendly wait staff, for your patience and good service.

A genuinely wonderful spot for breakfast, brunch, lunch, chilled out coffees, you name it. The food is top quality and so well presented. Shout out to Ali for the brilliant service and ready smiles. We had an acai bowl, the Ottoman and a shakshuka topped off with coffee and matcha and all were faultless. Great job, guys!

Absolutely loved this place! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, making the whole experience even better. The atmosphere is warm, stylish, and perfect for a relaxed meal. If you’re in Marbella and looking for delicious Mediterranean cuisine, Beyti is definitely worth a visit. I’ll definitely be coming back!

The food & cocktails are top notch here , Ivan, our waiter made this experience a 11/10 by far, definitely recommend! In my opinion, after trying most of the restaurants in Marbella , Kena takes places in my top 5. Price/quality in unbeatable.

We had a spectacular meal here with my girlfriend. We are very well traveled and experienced when it comes to food and I can only say spectacular is the only word for it, from food to atmosphere to the staff, especially Ivan who looked after us is extremely attentive and very good at his job. Highly recommended you try this place.

Mattia along with his colleagues Tony and Miguel at the bar make for an outstanding experience. Mattia is the ultimate host on the 7th floor venue Kena. One of the most enjoyable places beach side in Marbella overlooking the ocean, enjoying great music and Tony and Miguel as master mixologists. Mattia ensures your party will be welcomed and have one of your bear nights out in Marbella. The hostesses and managers Roberto and Pedro ensure a welcoming and excellent experience. A must.carlo and jade are gorgeous

Had a great time with my wife visiting Kena, the staff were super helpful and knowledgable, they shared recommendations that were fantastic including the eel nigiri containing spicy chocolate which was not something I would expect to work together as well as it did. We have tried a few sushi spots around Marbella and Estepona and this may have become our new favourite, compared with the atmosphere on the rooftop and the friendliness of the staff Kena has been an amazing experience. Many thanks to Jason for looking after us and sharing recommendations and Juan our sushi bar attendant also. But all the staff across the board were great.

Some of the best Nikkei I’ve had, Kena more than delivered. Beautiful rooftop, warm service, and dishes you’ll be craving days later. Highly recommend.

Really the coolest of experience! The vibe of the rooftop were really cool… I thought that the sunset and the view were going to be the main character? But really the signature drinks steal the whole show! Super nice and unique! I am definitely coming back for the food, which btw looks insane 👀🔥

Great food, location and sercice. Iván was our waiter and he made the experience even better. Will definitely come back here 👌🏼

A beautiful experience. We spent our last evening at Nomad celebrating my friends Hen Do. The service was exceptional, very attentive and polite. Credit to the waitress for being incredibly patient with a rather large party. The food was gorgeous, beautifully plated, flavours balanced perfectly, a credit to the chef!

Nomad is such a beautiful restaurant—I truly enjoyed my solo dinner here tonight. They had plenty of vegetarian options, and every dish was full of flavor. I started with the corn ribs, then had the cauliflower and broccolini with a side of Japanese rice—everything was delicious. The ambiance is amazing, the servers were kind, and the music was just right. Definitely one of those places you wish you could bring back home—I’d love to have a Nomad in the United States!

Was pleasantly surprised by this place. Normally, when a restaurant has a great view and atmosphere, the food doesn’t quite live up to it, but this was the complete opposite. We had the pork shoulder and truffle arancini to start, followed by the lamb chops and Korean chicken for mains. Everything was outstanding. Highly recommend Nomad. Hassan made us feel very welcome.

From the moment we arrived, this Mediterranean gem felt special. We were greeted warmly by Terry at the door, who was an absolute gentleman, and received the best service from Hassan throughout the evening. His recommendations were spot on, and he genuinely made sure we had the best possible experience. The live entertainment was fantastic — an uplifting female DJ, a live singer with the most melodious voice, completed with a gentleman on the bongo drums. The three of them really brought the restaurant to life. Beautiful ambience, delicious food, and such a lovely atmosphere. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. A special thank you to Terry and Hassan 🙏

Visited on saturday just before Christmas. Nice venue with dinner entertainment. Did not seem busy in winter. Service and food was good.

Great food selection, with dishes that are beautifully prepared and clearly crafted by a talented chef. The decor and scenery are also lovely. Unfortunately, the service was extremely disappointing. The servers seemed disorganized and repeatedly forgot items. It took 40 minutes just to take our order. We were there for a birthday and requested a surprise cake, which they forgot twice. When it finally arrived, they had even forgotten the silverware. It’s sad to see a beautiful and expensive place undermined by such unprofessional service. This leaves a very poor impression of Nomad, a place we usually know to be excellent.

This restaurant was an amazing experience. The views from the terrace were spectacular. The staff are attentive and the service was great. And last but definitely not least the food was 10/10. Could not recommend more!

Very nicely located Chiringuito/ Beach Restaurant. Very reasonably priced and extremely friendly service. The house wine is excellent, so is the food and the presentation of it. Our new favorite at la costa del sol.

We enjoyed a nice evening here with drinks first on the beach followed by a lovely meal afterwards in the restaurant. Service was good and there were plenty of choices to cater for all tastes. We will come again, thank you for a lovely evening.

Italian food and drinks at it’s best in the sand or the restaurant. Food is great and fresh. Excellent service from a friendly team and romantic sunsets from the beach.

If you’re looking for an authentic Andalusian beach chiringuito in Marbella, Restaurante de Sergio is a must-visit. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, and Sergio, the owner, is always around making sure everyone feels at home. He’s such a kind and genuine person. The food is outstanding—fresh, delicious local Andalusian cuisine at very reasonable prices. The beachfront setting offers beautiful sea views, making it the perfect place to relax and enjoy a great meal. Highly, highly recommended. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Restaurante Da Sergio is one of our absolute favorite beach spots in Marbella! It’s the perfect place if you’re looking for a relaxed and less crowded beach day, with very comfortable sunbeds and a beautiful setting. The food is truly delicious, everything we’ve tried has been fresh and full of flavor. The price-quality ratio is excellent, which makes it even more enjoyable. Their cocktails are great, and the wine list is impressive as well. But what really makes this place special is the staff. They are always incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming, it genuinely feels like coming home every time we visit. A big plus for us is that our dog is welcome most of the year, which makes it even more special. Highly recommended if you’re in Marbella!

Beatiful location. Friendly staff and perfect meal for a reasonable price. We’ll definitely come back!

Been here a few times. Food consistently excellent. Great service staff but could be more attentive – couldn’t get thier attention sometimes. Fish last night was delicious. Prices are reasonable. Would definitely come again.

A good place to stop and eat with amazing Mediterranean Sea views. The food is delicious! Spicy prawns pasta and grilled fish is what we chose and not disappointed. Service is fine, not great but good enough. Place would need some nice music to lift up the vibe a bit. Overall a good choice!

Phenomenal service, food and atmosphere. Best octopus I’ve ever tasted in my life. Shout out to our waiter John who offered spectular service. Love from Malta 🇲🇹

We had such an amazing dinner here in Marbella! The paella was absolutely incredible — one of the best we’ve ever had. The seafood was extremely fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. On top of that, the view was simply stunning and created the perfect atmosphere for a relaxing evening. The staff was very attentive, friendly, and professional, making us feel truly welcome from the first minute. Everything about this place exceeded our expectations. We are so happy that we chose this restaurant for dinner — honestly, it turned out to be the best possible choice in Marbella. Definitely a place worth visiting if you are looking for delicious food, beautiful views, and exceptional service!

​⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Phenominal food and wonderful staff! I had an amazing experience here! The food was absolutely genius—perfectly cooked and full of flavor. But what truly made the evening special was the staff. The waiters are just wonderful people, incredibly welcoming, polite, and full of positive energy. If you’re looking for great food and a fantastic vibe, this is the place to go!

John – the best waiter everrrr!!! We spend amazing time here, eating delicious fried seafood and pasta bolognese with breathtaking views. I can recommend this place!!!

Everything was amazing! John absolutely made our night. The service was perfect and John made us feel like royalty. His recommendations were spot on and he really took care of me as a vegan!!!

Our waiter John was absolutely brilliant for our dinner tonight. We booked for a hen do and he was the perfect balance of professional and entertaining with making us feel invited with jokes and even taking brilliant photos of our group on request which were great quality! The food was hot, lovely and tasted fabulous. John looked after us the whole evening and could not fault his service, even gave us a shot to carry on our night in town!
