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.

Lovely little tapas bar with delicious food. Had we known there were complimentary bread, olives & crudités we might not have ordered so much! Enjoyed four tapas dishes- Serrano ham, scallop & salmon, gambas pil pil & tortilla. Unfortunately there was no paella available on the day we went but that just means we will have to go back. Then they brought complimentary cake for dessert & 2 bottles of water for our journey home! Friendly & efficient service & great food at reasonable prices make this a great little tapas bar

La Alacena de Francis

Reviewed By IstanbulKate - Seattle, Washington

This is a tiny place but the food is beyond great. They smoke their own fish, make their own butter. Everything tastes so good. The service is excellent. The smoked fish platter is wonderful and the brandy braised baby broad beans are really, really tasty. The only thing I would say is call ahead for Reservations. It's a very small place.

My daughter found this cafe and our expectations were exceeded!! A family owned cafe manned by the son so proud of their locally sourced food and wagu beef. Omg I so enjoyed the cheese plate with the marmalade, the wagu beef carpaccio made perfectly I ate it all. My husband completely enjoyed the octopus with a cream and balsamic vinegar sauce. My daughter had tuna tataki which and left an empty plate and my son by marriage had the Iberian ham which was sliced cooked on the spot was more like a roast pork with quinoa and fries was excellent !
Worth the drive from Malaga!!!
Ps there was a rude and nasty old couple from Britain behind me who whinedthe whole mean. Ignore their post they are complainers of the worst order ! From the gracious waiter who tried hard to their change back they were awful and the poor owners son was in tears. They are a hardworking proud family who deserve their high rating from providing excellent food !!! This place is a must !!

I was a little sceptical due to the location however the reviews are absolutely spot on! Absolutely delicious food, the lycee and raspberry tiramisu, ravioli and garlic bread really stood out to me. The staff were extremely kind,friendly and proud of the food they produced. Fresh pasta made daily. We drove 40mins from Coín and would happily do it again tomorrow!
