El Refugio

The ambiance of rustic restaurants , with a score of feel-good character , reminiscent of a typical Andalusian restaurant . You can book the restaurant for a family celebration or other festivities.

Reviewed By MaggieDublin - Dublin

A group of us ate here & had a lovely evening. The food was good, I had the prawn pil pil & the sole. The prawns were on the small side, I prefer when they are bigger but it was a large portion which I couldn’t finish. The sole was very good. All of our party liked what they had. The ambience is great. The owner is a fantastic host & really made us feel very welcome. Definitely worth a visit.

Oliva

Restaurant with a modern creative Andalusian cuisine, with a solid traditional base but constantly experimenting with new tastes, textures, techniques and products. The wine list includes wines from all around Spain. The restaurant is very close to Balcón de Europa, in the center of Nerja and has a private sunny Terrace.

Reviewed By Steve D - Launceston, United Kingdom

From the moment our party of 3 arrived in the restaurant we were greeted by the waiters and we were in their excellent care thereafter. They explained the dishes we were interested in and advised on an excellent wine choice. The food was excellent and between courses we were served little surprises. We appreciated all the different elements that went into our food, superb! If you want to try something different and classy then do go, you won't regret it. Would definitely visit again when in Nerja.

Avalon

The Spanish and English chefs at El Avalon pride themselves in providing modern European food that is influenced by their extensive travels in North Africa and South East Asia. Service at El Avalon is professional and relaxed. We have a fantastic Terrace with stunning views, and a cosy restaurant with an open fireplace for Wintertime.

El Casino

Reviewed By Sunnyhouse15 - Costa Calma, Spain

Strolled through Frigiliana and came across this restaurant. We were so lucky that the table at the front of the top Terrace had just become available. Food was outstanding and the view was amazing. The service was excellent with the waiters speaking many languages as they moved from table to table. If you are in Frigiliana, a meal here will certainly not disappoint.

Reviewed By Cathy M - Southport, United Kingdom

We have been coming to Nerja for over 30 years and not visited La Posada Iberica. We saw the posts on TripAdviser and were not disappointed. The staff are very friendly and attentive. The is a great friendly place to visit and eat. It was pretty busy, but we managed to get a table. We started with the Iberica ham and Manchego cheese, both very good, before we have our Argentinian steaks cooks on the grill. These were succulent and very tasty. This is off the beaten track on a side street off Pintada. It is well worth finding it as the staff are great and you will not be disappointed.

Restaurante Jose Jiminez

Reviewed By geoffers10 - London

This place does not look that inviting from the road but once you are on the beach side of the restaurant it's lovely - right on the beach itself. We had dinner of fried aubergines , freshly made with the local black honey and then fresh fish from the specials board. My first choice of fish had run out which I viewed as a good sign - no unending supply of frozen fish here. I had a sole which was plump, juicy and full of flavour. Great staff, a nice local feel to the place so overall an excellent spot for dinner.

My husband and I were staying in Nerja for the second time this year and visited Frigiliana four times during our two weeks holiday, we love the place. We found this little cafe/restaurant quite by chance. We visited the beautiful Church in Frigiliana and spotted this menu board, all perfectly written in English and just had to have a look. La Tienda, as it is called is a small cafe which is run by a husband and wife. The food is amazing. I fancied the Ploughmans, my husband had a toastie. My ploughmans came on a platter. There were 3 large, thick slices of Cheddar cheese, a pot of Branston pickle, a pot of grainy mustard, crisps, 3 slices of ham, a bowl of sliced tomatoes and onions and in a separate basket, half a loaf of gorgeous bread with real butter. I was in heaven. This was by far the finest Ploughmans I'd ever tasted, home or abroad. My husband ordered the fresh fruit bowl which came filled with various fresh fruits with a topping of greek yoghurt and Frigiliana honey. Absolutely gorgeous. The couple on the next table had the Spanish platter and they were over the moon with their choice. There aren't many tables outside but there are more inside. I would definitely recommend La Tienda and this will be our favourite eating place when we go to Frigiliana again next year.
