Cafe Yanx is a great alternative to the pretentious nature of some restaurants around the harbour area. It feels homely, intimate and it possesses a nice vibe. Add this to excellent food and service by our waiter Dan, gave us a wonderful evening. We would revisit without hesitation.Wow.......Thank you for your kind review and for highlighting our new member to our Team. Have an awesome day and we look forward to serving you again soon.

Reviewed By edieann
We love to share food so this tapas restaurant was perfect for the four of us.Everyone ordered a different tapas and there was plenty for all of us to share! Calamari, seafood salad, sausages braised in wine, octopus in a spicy tomato sauce, and roast pork that came with french fries that were to die for. Even though we were stuffed we ordered one more dish: batter fried anchovies fabulous; but then I love all things batter fried.I apologize for having no photos to post. We were really hungry!

We ate here a few times it was always satisfactory without being anything special. Good location on the seafront, hasn't completely sold it's soul to the tourists. Prices are reasonable, portions are reasonable, staff are friendly and busy but attentive. We never waited too long. It's has an air of confidence about it and is very well known by the Spanish locals.We ate different Tapas and were never disappointed. For a quick snack on the frontline, plenty to see, lots of passing action I would recommend it. Solid, familiar and reasonable.

Iâve been visiting Links Bar for several years now when on holiday, and have always found their staff to be friendly, welcoming and providing great service. The food is great and the menu is what youâd expect of a good bar menu, with something for everyone.There is always lots going on, with sport on the TV, the Friday Night Quiz and their popular Sunday Roast Iâll continue to go back and would recommend to anyone looking for a friendly âlocalâ when on holiday

We popped in here after reading reviews and were greeted by a customer who told us we wouldn't be disapointed. He was right. The owner seated us and gave us a great explanation of the smoking process. He was extremely friendly and made us feel very welcome. We ordered some buffalo wings to start and they were amazing. So crispy and tasty. We all ordered the ribs. Wow. Best ribs ever. I was full after half of them and couldn't stop eating. This will be a must any time we are in Marbella. Highly highly recommend coming here.

A friendly bar/restaurant situated in the beautiful Spanish Aloha Pueblo, just 5 minute taxi ride from Puerto Banus. If its just a drink, casual dining or more formal fine dining then this is the place to be! We specialise in meat, fish and Pasta cooked t

We were recommended El Banco by friends from the UK. Let me be crystal clear from the start.....we like Spanish restaurants with Spanish cuisine and Spanish ambience. Were not fans of the British offerings designed to appeal to the Brits wanting a home from home! El Banco is a 100% Brits Abroad with all that that brings. The owners are perfectly lovely and extremely welcoming and warm personalities. It pains me to say that after they found us a table immediately...we had to wait 20â for our drinks to arrive and just under an hour for a sole request of two main courses and nothing else! Two tables next to us arrived after us and weâre down and dusted before we had received our drinks and some bread. Iâm sure that this was one bad example as the clients were largely very happy, there was excellent live music and a great vibe if thatâs your scene. Itâs not ours but thatâs a very personal issue and should in no way detract from El Banco.Having said all this the food was outstanding. The owner very kindly offered a free drink courtesy of the house but we refused. We werenât fishing for freebies just extremely disappointed that the service was so poor despite reminding the waiter about 6 times!If you want a Brit style vibey, buzzing and pretty noisy place to eat with excellent food then check out El Banco. Iâm sure they wonât make the same mistakes again on super slow service.Dear Frontierman99,Firstly I would like to thank you for taking your time to write this review!I would like to re-iterate that we are not a Spanish restaurant and do not advertise as such! We are predominately British & International cuisine and serve a variety of dishes that use fresh meat and fish that is sourced locally. The fact we are located in the beautiful Spanish Aloha Pueblo obviously adds to the confusion too! We do however offer smaller (tapas like) sharing dishes for those who prefer smaller bites. I appreciate the word Tapas may be mis-leading and infer it is a Spanish restaurant, however the word Tapas literally means ' a cover' or a 'lid' and this is a common facet to many tapas origin stories. One says that, since tapas bars used to be standing only affairs, people who ordered a snack had nowhere to put their plate but on top of their glass-hence the tradition.I will not apologise or excuse the fact that the majority of our evening and Sunday clientele are indeed British, Ias well as our lovely Scandinavian friends and other nationalities, They certainly do enjoy themselves (especially on Sundays which is now become a firm favourite where they can enjoy good food, let your hair down and dance to live music!On the evening of your visit,we had been extremely busy for Sunday Late Lunch (from 5:00pm until 9:00pm) with a couple of big birthday parties celebrating and had been fully booked!Normally on Sundays we would have not taken any more bookings, however knowing you were associated with our friends we tried our best to find you a table. I apologise profusely that you had to wait 20 minutes for your drinks to arrive but understand from staff that the two large groups had just ordered a drinks round. The Kitchen then received your food order and having checked the till it was served to you within 40 minutes of being taken from the waiter. Usually on Sundays our guests tend to enjoy the whole experience and are not in any rush with their food, which I hasten to add is freshly prepared and cooked fresh to order so does tend to take slightly longer.I would really like for you to experience, if you would give us the opportunity, another evening at El Banco (maybe not a Sunday) where I think it may hopefully be more to your taste! Please by all means email me on [email protected] and let me know if you would like to visit again and I will personally ensure you are looked after!Many thanks
