Comida muy buena y servicio apropiado. Arroz con bogavante exquisito! De los mejores que hemos probado!

Llegamos por accidente pasamos por delante y vimos lo bonito, y ya esto empezó a captar nuestra atención, para nuestra suerte pudimos comer sin haber reservado, y deleitar nuestro paladar con su comida. Pedimos poco pues ya habíamos tomado el aperitivo, pero me quedé con ganas de probar la fideuá, que tenía un pintón, así que visita de nuevo para matar el antojo. Todo lo que nos pedimos espectacular!!!Recomendable 200%.

Un lugar precioso, nos encanto tanto estéticamente, con la comida y el servicio. Llegamos sin reserva, nos atendieron súper deprisa, y la comida es una maravilla. Destaco la gamba a la plancha (volví al dia siguiente a cenar solo por repetir🤩) Puedes comer o cenar dentro o fuera en una terraza preciosa con vistas al mar, ya que está en la playa. Todo lo que probamos los días días que estuvimos esta buenísimo, no podría solo recomendar una cosa. Un imprescindible de Fuengirola para mi gusto. Repetiremos!

Muy buen servicio de sala. Pedimos de entradas canchas finas normales. Tártara de atún con aguacate y mango muy bueno y una cantidad aceptable. De plato principal pargo a la sal , como detalle te enseñan el pescado en mesa y te informan del peso detalle este muy importante, como pega las verduras de acompañamiento estaban un poco templadas. Postre profiteroles con chocolate normales. En definitiva sitio para repetir y volver a probar.

Una experiencia estupenda. La comida está riquísima, bien presentada y con mucho sabor. Se nota la calidad de los productos y las raciones son muy buenas. Además, quiero destacar el trato de Nicolás, muy atento, cercano y profesional, siempre pendiente de que todo estuviera perfecto. Sin duda mejora aún más la experiencia. Muy recomendable, volveremos seguro.

Si hubiese más estrellas se las daba , La comida excepcional todo fresco y de buena calidad, riquísimo , el servicio increíble , la atención , amabilidad y simpatía , toda la atención es poca en todo momento , nuestro camarero Alberto impecable y todo lo dicho anteriormente , se ve la calidad del servicio y atención , recomendado al 200 por 100 , el mejor sitio, no lo duden. Unos clientes que volverán seguro.Muchas gracias por todo . Por cierto el precio nos dejó sorprendidos , comimos lo mejor y no fue nada caro . Todo lo que pueda decir es poco. Desde Sanlúcar de Barrameda un diez y más

If you like seafood and fish, this restaurant will not disappoint. The food is quite refined. I had a tuna steak with pepper sauce...delicate and tasty. My wife had some fish which she liked++++. The service was professional and you never felt push to hurry up and leave. We went there around 6:30 pm and it was busy. I recommend this restaurant to seafood lovers. But they also have steaks and pasta if you prefer.

We were at La Caracola a couple of days ago, one of our favourite restaurants on the beach... Our waiter, Munir, was excellent. The food was delicious. We had the sardines and the house salad, it was so fresh and portions were ample. We had a lovely relaxing time, the location is superb. Recommended..

Very friendly staff. I only took a coffee but it smells lovely, grilled freah fish, popular place full of locals - it means it's one of the better places in the neighborhood. Clean and quick reaction by the staff, always a smile. I had a wonderful experience even if I was a "low value" customer pnly buying coffee, I was attended to 100%. Recommend.

Paia was cooked perfectly with an assortment of seafood. Delicious! Waterfront patio had great vibes.

We visited the restaurant on May 5, 2025 at 7:00 PM. The restaurant was very stylish, cozy and clean, and by the sea. The waiters were friendly and helpful. The white anchovies were fresh, crispy and tasty, just as they should be. The only downside was that for some reason the bill included two glasses of wine for 2 x 3.50 Eur, even though we only got one. Therefore I took two stars away from Service.

I had to get the Paella with seafood. This place is great, looks great with their fresh and modern interior. The food is amazing. Friendly staff as well. Not surprised that the place is so busy. See you tomorrow again!

The best seafood in Fuengirola. Amazing starter with avocado and prawns. Of course that for main dish we choose an amazing seafood paella. The best I've ever eaten in my life. The dessert were just as perfect as well. 5 star's to the food, staff and restaurant. I can only recommend!!

Best fish restaurant I jave been in years. Service is great, it does get a little busy but they have plenty of servers. The place is located on the beach and is a modern almost all glass restaurant with fantastic views and ambiance. Even though our dates were difficult and busy (January 1st) we were able to get a table for 9 reserving the day before. Pricing for the quality of food you get is dirt cheap and overall It was a fantastic experience. I would go to that restaurant everyday if I could to bad is 1000 kms away. If you are in the area please go there to experience the best seafood restaurant I have visited in years.

This is the best seafood restaurant in Fuengirola!! Great quality fresh seafood, beautiful surroundings - especially if you can get a table out on the patio at the rear overlooking the sea. We ate here several times because it was so good!! You can see this place takes great pride in the food it serves, the ambiance, and great service. You get what you pay for - something to suit all pockets. You need to book ahead if you want a table outside.

El tartar estaba increíble y los calamares fritos también. La atención fue muy buena y los camareros muy simpáticos, aunque la única pega es que personalmente pienso que ya no tiene el carácter fuengiroleño que tenía y ya es solo un lugar para guiris, donde es raro que haya algún autóctono

Actualizo. Hemos vuelto y está algo menos destacable. Servicio algo más común y desaliñado. Paella con exceso de colorante y sal. Está vez no nos pusieron aperitivo. El aceite de menos calidad y precio excesivo del pan.// Comida espectacular. Precios acorde a la calidad y el emplazamiento del lugar en plena playa tipo restaurante. Detalle de aceite de aperitivo y pequeña sopa caliente. Pescado super fresco. Precios de vinos competitivos y carta bien especificada. Postres algo elevados de precio. El servicio algo insistente a la hora de pedir cuando aún faltaban 2 comensales y el restaurante no estaba lleno por tanto no era necesario. Por otra parte estaba aún acabando mi plato y empezaron a recoger a mi alrededor al resto de personas, me pareció algo agobiante. Por el resto es una buena experiencia y digno de repetir.

Had an amazing meal! Very high-quality fresh fish. Highly recommended. The tuna tartare was a truly flavorful experience!

We love the food here, we come often. Service is mixed, eventhou the Staff is very friendly and helpful they sometimes forget you and have to ask a couple of times for things. Food is very good, tried a lot of different things already

A Mixed Bag by the Sea: A Gem Amid the Grime? We recently dined at this beachfront restaurant during a visit to Fuengirola, and overall, the experience was a mix of highs and lows. Let’s start with the food. The standout dish was without a doubt the rape a la plancha (grilled monkfish), which was perfectly cooked — fresh, flaky, and seasoned just right. If you’re a seafood lover, this is the dish to order. Unfortunately, not everything lived up to the same standard. The calamaritos were a disappointment: served cold and with a stale texture, they lacked the freshness and flavor you’d expect from a coastal kitchen. Another letdown was the avocado prawn dish. It looked impressive on the plate, but the flavors simply didn’t follow through — bland and unbalanced. The location of the restaurant is prime — right on the beachfront, offering what could be a lovely seaside view. That said, the view is significantly obstructed by rows of beach chair parasols, which detracts from the atmosphere a bit. Still, the proximity to the ocean adds a certain charm, especially if you can grab a seat with a clearer line of sight. One pleasant surprise was the wine selection. The list was extensive, with a solid variety of options across price points. Our bottle was excellent and well-paired with the meal. But the real highlight? Dessert. It was the most memorable part of the meal — thoughtfully presented, indulgent without being over-the-top, and absolutely delicious. It's worth visiting for the sweets alone. As for the town itself, Fuengirola doesn’t quite seduce with its surroundings. It felt dirty and grim

The food was good, however the staff was not very friendly and serving was very slow. Also, the bread you receive at the table without asking for it, it’s charged at the end with almost 2€/piece. Overall it was ok.

I had been trying to get a table at this restaurant for ages, the restaurant is very bright and lovely, maybe a little noisy in the main dining room. The beach front tables are nice. The octopus is very tender but the paella wasn't totally cooked. The service is very good.

Restaurante en la playa. El servicio en general muy bueno. Mejillones al vapor, gambas a la plancha, pargo a la sal y cigalas a la plancha. Todo correcto menos las cigalas. El camarero decía que eran frescas pero al verlas he manifestado mis dudas. Una vez que las han servido no tenían bien aspecto y la carne de la cola estaba blanda. Me he hartado a comer cigalas por toda España y estás ni eran frescas ni estaban bien cocinadas. 180 euros el kilo. Ni que decir tiene que las hemos devuelto. Una completa decepción. Vivimos en Fuengirola y no pienso volver ni recomendarlo.

Like other people have put the food is good. I wouldn't say fabulous as I've had better locally but still not bad. The issue is the service and the lack of empathy from the management. My wife and I tried to get into here before. This was the third attempt as they said 'workmen were in here'?? We've been in here years ago and it was good. The waiter was good until the end when I asked for the bill in Spanish . He smirked at me and then walked off. That was the last straw after waiting 30 mins for drinks. Two attempts to give us bread which we didn't want as my wife cannot eat it due medical. I approached the management and he asked how long I was here for ?? I said 9 nights . What that has to do with it I don't know. He took the bread off the bill offers a free drink or dessert but we declined. No apology nothing. Won't be going back. Shame as the food was good.

This place is a food gem, unfortunately the atmosphere casts a shadow on it. The smell from the toilets mixed up with strong detergent odour just blows it ... But hey ... good part? It's clean. Food .. we had grilled chicken breast with Spanish potatoes for our daughter which was absolutely delicious. Starters, sardines on skewers which were absolutely fantastic. For the main, we chose a fresh fish, catch of the day, which are all displayed on ice, check the photos, same with Spanish potatoes. The only downside I would say was the oil drizzle. We do love olive oil, but this was a bit too much for our liking. Otherwise, the fish was more than great! Definitely recommend the food! Top notch, fresh and tasty. Drinks, sangria and fresh orange juice plus a cappuccino. Sangria was a bit too strong for my taste but excellent, fresh orange juice .. well .. fresh and the cappuccino was very good also. Unfortunately, because of the aforementioned smell, we won't go back there.

Although the person who greets you at the entrance is very friendly, the wait time is terrible. I arrived at 1:20 pm and the restaurant was half empty. I ordered a beer, a red pepper salad, and Galician-style octopus. The salad arrived in an average time, but maybe 15 minutes, and then an hour passed and the octopus never arrived. In addition to witnessing an argument between the waiters, I lost all appetite. I went to the register to pay and wait for my takeout octopus. When I got home, the octopus was good, but the potatoes were tough and undercooked; some were soft and others were tough and raw. I paid $41 and it wasn't worth it. I don't recommend it. Don't waste your money and time there. I think they feel privileged by the location and the atmosphere with air conditioning and a good view. I don't recommend it.

Decepcionante, pedimos 2 espetos que eran tiburones, son enormes y con muchas espinas. Tambien pedimos coquinas, que venían con bastante tierra, y para rematar un pulpo a la gallega, el cual lo presentan en un plato que ha tenido tiempos mejores, completamente despellejado y una base bastante repugnante, por no decir la mala calidad del producto en si y los precios por las nubes...

Unfortunately, our experience at this restaurant was very disappointing. The service was extremely poor and most of the staff behaved in a cold, unfriendly, and even irritated manner. During our entire dinner, no one came to check on our table even once, while the Spanish-speaking tables around us received constant attention and friendly service. There were no condiments (salt, pepper, sauces) on the tables, and the food was very average — no special flavor, no creativity, nothing that would justify its reputation or prices. We were a group of five and ordered several expensive dishes, yet even a simple drink order was either forgotten or ignored. The only positive point was a staff member named Florin, who genuinely tried to help and showed professionalism. Overall, this restaurant seems to rely only on its location by the sea, not on quality food or good service. There is nothing special about the dishes, no memorable taste, and certainly no sense of hospitality. We will never return and do not recommend this place to anyone.

We came for a birthday dinner. It's best to start with what went well: we had a table reservation and got a seat inside as we had hoped and got food. Everything else then went a little worse. The food menu is extensive and so is the drink menu. It's a shame that the staff doesn't tell you right away what foods it's not possible to get and the same with drinks. There were no mussels and not even a single half bottle of white wine, although there were several on the menu. The same for dessert drinks, lots of options but you only got three so we didn't take any. We were not treated as customers but more like dogs. both the menu and the bread and food were thrown in front of us like to a dog. We asked for the bill three times and finally got paid. You can't see much from the copy of the receipt, but even the waiter didn't pay any attention to it. I don't know if the service was because we don't speak Spanish and telling them all this in English didn't work because no one spoke to us and/or didn't speak English. This restaurant would have had a chance to get 5 stars, but the lack of service ruined everything.
