My partner and I ate here last night for the second time in three weeks. We love Los Palangreros. The staff the food, and the ambience of the restaurant are all excellent. The prices are very reasonable for the standard of the cooking, and the choices on the menu are varied and interesting. I would recommend that you book, because each time I have eaten here I have seen disappointed people turned away, as it’s not a huge place.

Visited twice on our recent holiday.
The Carvery is excellent with 5 different meats to choice from, have a piece of each one and the plate is full, to struggle to but your fresh veg on. Excellent quality and service.
The Prawn Cocktail is also to die for, so big and full of prawns that me and the wife share one!!
The place only looks small from the outside, but it is huge inside, so modern and clean.

We came to eat here last year October half-term but sadly it had already closed for the end of season. After hearing it was closing later this year, we were determined to visit this year. We travelled from where we were staying (Estepona) and were not disappointed. Five of us dined and we had fantastic food, enjoyed friendly & warm service all at great prices too! The fish & chips + dreamburger were outstanding. Can't recommend enough.

Reviewed By JWMW101 - Leeds, United Kingdom

Excellent food, beautifully presented and always that bit different. Delicious prawns, and the twisted tapas is just sublime, from the wild mushroom soup, to pork belly, salmon, duck, fish cake, pea and ham risotto, writing about it doesn’t do it justice. If you like food you won’t be disappointed, friendly service and good atmosphere.

Reviewed By laurogolfer - Alhaurin de la Torre, Spain

We ate lunch here today and really enjoyed it. Excellent Indian cuisine, very well presented and served. Next time, I think we will probably try the Mexican menu which appeared to match the Indian menu for choice and value. The restaurant is situated within LasTerrazas Commercial Centre at the top of Calle Acuario, on the first floor but easy access on foot or by lift.
Hope any readers enjoy it as much as we did!

Scoffers Cafe

Reviewed By Simon B

Walking along the front from Mijas to Fuengirola and popped into scoffers for a breakfast. Opted for an English breakfast with coffee and orange juice - good friendly service and great value food. A breakfast is straightforward to put together, this was a good example with decent quality produce and all that was left was the clean plate.

Bistro & Fondue

Restaurant specialized in Belgian cuisine, different kind of Fondues and Argentinian Meat on the grill

Reviewed By garside501 - Ilkley, United Kingdom

Visited here with friends who'd been before, but it was our first visit. There were lots of 'pluses' about the evening - great service, nice atmosphere, and a novel experience around the fondue, cooking your own main course. The only real negative was the cost - c€200 for 4 without any entertainment seemed a lot, with the mains at over €50 per couple felt a bit steep, especially as you cook it yourself. Can't fault the welcome or the service which were 5*
