Restaurante Costamarga

Restaurant on the Agua Amarga beach, great patio with tables and chairs in front of the beach under a centenary tree that offer its fresh shadow during the lunch time. Fabulous staff attentive and eager to help. Excellent food with freshly cooked local ingredients. Price is adequate.

El Playa

Reviewed By Wolverine154

Got there on a fall day Sat. afternoon. Pretty busy but not full. No system visible to get a seat. Wait staff for about 16 tables. Inquired about getting sat. What? They acted like we were imposing on their busy schedule and should leave. Well, not a ton of other option in AA at this time of day. So we waited it out. It was challenging. Finally got to order. Finally got our order of a platter of fried fish. It was fried fish. Wow.

Hostal La Palmera

Reviewed By Jingle05

We just wanted a light starters lunch and a beer. I chose the anchovies (this consisted on 2 anchovies stretched across a tablespoon of marinated red peppers...and my partner's tuna salad was a plate full of lettuce with a desertspoon of tuna! Simply not good enough. Yes, the setting and the open beach and seaview was to die for...however the feed was poor...and cost Eu.19.30. Go next door next time.

Mediterranean food, in our menú you were finding from a few tagliatelle to the pesto with shrimps up to a delicious hamburger of tuna or veal done by our Chef, a complete and fresh salad Nicoise or a classic Club Sándwich. A space thought for the tranquil

Stayed at Real La Joya and used the beach club facilities most days. There was always plenty of sun beds and towels available. It was spotlessly clean with a good selection of food and drinks. A barbecue was also available whilst we were there, which was very tasty. The staff were very friendly and helpful especially Anastasia.Dear Guest, thank you so much fo to share your opinion about our Beach Bar and your experience there with our place and food, we just open just some weeks ago and all that we wish is to add a diferent and friendly place with top quality in Agua Amarga Beach. All the best, Isabel Cazorla.

Los tarahis

Reviewed By ibanejm

Los taharis belongs to that very Spanish bar category called “chiringuito de playa”, a bar by the beach which only objective was to provide drinks and some basic food to the beach clientele . Los taharis is definitely a flagship in this category. None of the food will win a Michelin nomination but they don’t even try. The value is having a cold beer with a paella (you need to order in advance!!) while you dream about a swim in Agua Amarga beach. Service is fast and competent. Paella are not great but you can eat it. Try to get a table with views to the beach.

Good pizzas, nice atmosphere, friendly service, tables quite close together outside and cars pass by out of season. although peak summer months there's no traffic through the village. Brilliant cheesecake!

Bar La Plaza

Reviewed By K2047MEadriana

Agua Amarga was the first stop on our June 2016 road trip in Andalucia. Always buzzing with patrons ordering seafood, cervezas or a 'cortado en vaso,' this laid-back restaurant offers the quintessential small-town experience. While strolling through town it was easy to figure out this restaurant is the main hub of the town; its large outdoor plaza allowed for many tables in the shade or sun. The staff made us feel right at home - offering us a gratis Yierba drink after our lunch. We visited this restaurant four times during our stay in Agua Amarga; the outdoor seating, lively atmosphere, attentive staff (as well as the fresh seafood) kept beckoning us back.Definitely check this restaurant out if you're passing through or staying in Agua Amarga.

La Villa

Reviewed By Wolverine154

Were in Agua Amarga to get a little bit of Costa del Sol during our 2 week drive around Spain and perhaps see where the Ben Kingsley flick, Sexy Beast, from the early oughts was alleged filmed. Well, according to the NYC relocated owner, right up the street! And the next day I drove around I think I saw it but I can't be sure.Regardless, we were staying at a quiet resort a few KMs outside of town and ended up here for dinner. Great setting surrounding their outdoor pool-very romantic. Our starter of langostino puffs were tasty. My entree of a local fresh catch in a Greek based sauce and setting was somewhat bland-there was just something missing. And my wife did enjoy her seafood pasta entree-but again a bit reserved and underwhelming.In the end, I am guessing that they have a somewhat novice chef who is not ready to break out and go bold but I could be wrong.

Aguamarga III

Reviewed By JandrewStamford

Having been recommended another local restaurant and finding it closed we came across Aquamarga3 and were very pleased we did. We sat outside at simple tables next to a tiled walled village square. The waiters were really friendly and speak English if required. There is a three course menu del dia for €12. The waiter helpfully suggested “fish of the day” - sea bass or cod with ratatouille. The star of the meal was the octopus starter which had a lovely smoky, char grilled flavour, very tender and the best I have ever tasted. This is a pleasant place to sit for a leisurely lunch being in the centre of the village, a short walk from the beach. Puddings are not really a strength here as the choice is limited eg Carmel cake or a Magnum and we really had had enough more than enough without a dessert but were caught up in th enjoyment of our meal.Water, 2 bottles of wine, and 4 three course meals came to around £33 per person - not the cheapest for a simple restaurant but we did thoroughly enjoy our visit and would certainly return.

Asador La Chumbera

Estamos abierto todos los dias medio dia y noche,para disfrutar de una comida en un cuadro relajante.lo todo a buen precios

Reviewed By JandrewStamford

Some of our party having visited prior to the restaurant were warmly greeted, setting the welcoming tone for the meal. We sat outside on a beautiful day, thoroughly enjoying the atmosphere; pretty situation and attentive service. The menu offered plenty of choice for meat and fish eaters. This is not a cheap restaurant but the food was very tasty and well presented. The Raf tomatoes and anchovy starter is to be recommended. One plate easily serves two people. Do ask about the fish of the day which extends the menu further. On the day we visited Amberjack was on offer: quite a meaty fish simply served with small chips. Perhaps vegetables or salad would have added to the dish. The steak ordered was cooked to perfection. For dessert the brownie is in fact a gorgeous chocolate fondant, beautifully served with chocolate dipped physalis and ice cream. What a treat.The bill is expensive for Spain but we thoroughly enjoyed our service and eating experience.
