De visita por ronda paramos a comer a la sombra de un árbol en la terraza de casa María, el trato por parte de la dueña y el camarero que nos atendió fue estupendo, no tienen carta te ofrecer lo que tienen en el día y empezamos con un par de ensaladas para compartir con mi pareja acompañadas de pan con aceite y tomate, de pescado pargo a la plancha y de carne entrecot. La tarta estaba espectacular no lo siguiente. Conviene reservar e ir pronto.

Fuimos a ciegas, y resultó un magnífico acierto. Servicio excelente, con amabilidad, disposición y simpatía. Los platos genialmente elaborados, con ingrediente de calidad, un producto excepcional y sobretodo bien combinado. Da una experiencia gastronómica completisima y llena de sabor. Cantidad mas que suficiente, los hambrientos no saldran con hambre. Hemos disfrutado plenamente. Llevan 34 años, y no hay nada que añadir que esa solvencia no les avale. Solo decir que si visitais Ronda, pasaros a experimentar esta delicia en la restauracion. Gracias Maria y a tu madre! (Probaremos tu receta de la tarta de queso!)😉

Fue una gran experiencia directa al paladar, pasamos de casualidad pero volveremos seguro. Trabajan con cocina de mercado, cada día tiene platos diferentes. Ellos te dan a elegir la bebida y te preguntan si tienes alguna alergia o intolerancia; luego ellos te sorprenden con 5 platos ,en nuestro caso. Muchas gracias por hacernos disfrutar de este rico almuerzo

10/10 the best meal we had in Spain! Inventive, tasty, fresh ingredients and great vibes. What they get at the market is what they serve you. A 1st course of an amazing braised duck, peanut, pomegranate salad, pan con tomate, baked Malaga goat cheese. Fresh fish and seared veg. Exceptional steak, and a wonderful desert. Different every night and even different per table. Highly recommend going here with an open mind ready to try anything and know you will love it.

We had the opportunity to eat at Casa Maria during our visit to Ronda. Being vegetarians we were surprised at how could they quickly provided us with delicious food . The use of fresh local ingredients made it even more interesting and we truly felt as we were eating in a Spanish house . We would definitely recommend visitors to try their yummy food.

We went here on a trip to Spain and loved everything from the vibe, to the staff, and the food and wine. The whole experience was created, including interacting with Maria herself. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip.

If I could give this 20 stars I would! One of, if not THE best dining experience we’ve ever had. The staff was extremely nice and friendly, explained how the restaurant worked. Started at 45 euro per person and you get a set menu of salad, appetizers, fish meat and dessert. Everything we ate was amazing. The flavors were so good and each dish kept getting better and better which we didn’t think was possible. We called a day early to get a reservation for the next day. If you are in Ronda PLEASE go! It was the best dinning experience ever and you won’t be disappointed. It is more expensive than other places but 100% worth it!!

Amazing family owned restaurant! A pre-set menu that puts love and care into their food and service. Almost feels like you are going to a family member’s house for dinner that cooks the best food you could have in Ronda. If I could give 6 stars I would, it was the best dinner of our entire trip

Delicious unique experience. Felt like I was eating at a family member’s home. They catered to us considering we’re vegetarian. There was also an extremely friendly cat in the square that enhanced our dining experience. Would highly recommend to anyone staying in Ronda!

My boyfriend and I went to Casa María for his birthday. We were asked about dietary requirements and they were accommodating for vegetarian/vegan options too which is brilliant. It’s a fixed menu which changes depending on what’s fresh, so you have to go with an open mind! Delicious food, lovely and attentive staff, relaxing atmosphere on the small square. 10/10!

Dining at Casa María in Ronda was one of the most memorable meals of my entire trip through Andalusia. Tucked into a quiet plaza just a short walk from the Puente Nuevo, this small, family-run restaurant delivers big on charm, flavor, and authenticity. What makes Casa María special is its unique concept: there’s no fixed menu. Instead, the host asks about any allergies or dislikes, and then you're taken on a culinary journey made from that day’s freshest market ingredients. Each course arrives as a surprise—and every single one was a delight. From a perfectly grilled local cheese starter to an exquisitely tender piece of Iberian pork, everything was beautifully balanced and thoughtfully presented. The atmosphere is incredibly warm and welcoming. María and her family treat you like guests in their own home. She explained each dish as it came out, often with stories about the ingredients or how it was prepared. It felt personal, intimate, and unpretentious.

We had such a good experience at Casa Maria! The food was incredible, everything was fresh and of the highest quality. No menu - Maria instructed us there would be several courses, which were all fantastic. My partner is a coeliac and we’re not too big on seafood, so our meal was tailored to our preferences. We had a duck salad, feta/asparagus and pan con tomate to start, a 45 day aged steak which we seared on a hot stone and a poached pear with a white chocolate sauce to finish. Only dropped a star for atmosphere, because we were the only ones there for lunch service, but we can’t complain about that! A proper Spanish eating experience form start to finish 😊🇪🇸

Casa Maria has been on my list for agessssss!! It was so worth the wait. You’ll be hard pressed to find better service- they are all SO sweet! They do well in explaining the dishes, and made us all laugh. It’s a set menu, so as others have said… you get what you get, but my gosh. We loved EVERYTHING! Such a unique dining experience. You can’t go wrong here. They also have delicious alcoholic beverages and wines. A true European dining experience. Don’t miss out on this!

Petr Kalanyos

What an amazing experience we had!!! Not a planned stop but due to a rainy weather, we stayed a bit longer in Ronda - thankfully! No fixed menu, seasonal food served by Maria, only 4 small tables… and she welcomed us despite it was already quite late (all the other guests have left, we were the last one). Everything was absolutely perfect, Maria and her mom are sweet and heartwarming people. If we will come back to Ronda someday, we will definitely stop at Maria’s place again!

Great food and perfect wine paring. Simplicity. We could taste the quality of the ingredients. Maria and the ladies were super nice! Great atmosphere. Price for the set menu was 45 EUR. Plus wine.

My husband and I had an absolutely delicious lunch here on the last day of our holiday in Andalusia. We stopped by on the off chance and they were more than happy to accommodate us. We loved not knowing what we would be eating – they asked about any dietary requirements first and we were then served four wonderful courses. Everything was exceptional. Thank you so much! It was a highlight of our holiday.

We had a wonderful and very delicious lunch at Casa Maria today. Best food we had so far in Andalucia. Great service, very good wine recommendations and food to die for. There is no menu, instead you are served whatever they found to be the best and freshest ingredients of the day. All prepared with love and the best cooking skills. All foodies just go there!

Do not miss this hidden gem!!! There is no set menu, you get family style portions of whatever grandma cooks but it was all delicious. We left full and embryonic in our group agreed that it was a magical experience. You get a bottle of wine as a paint gift. Wine is not included in the 45 euro power person price, but don't let that deter you. It is worth it!

Mouth watering, absolutely delicious, next level cuisine. My husband and I consider ourselves to be gourmands. This family run bistro serves its own set menu (45 euro/person) with freshly prepared appetizers, mains, and deserts that will not disappoint even the most pretentious pallette. Each dish is perfectly balanced, and although the portions are all generous, the whole menu is balanced such that we didn't leave feeling uncomfortably full and heavy. I honestly don't know how we will be satisfied with anything else during our stay in Ronda. Absolutely worth every penny! Michelin, where are you? These guys deserve some stars.

This is the warmest, most welcoming restaurant we’ve ever been to. The restaurant owner is kind and very considerate; we had a two year old with us and she made thoughtful adjustments to our meal to accommodate her. She speaks multiple languages and made us feel very at home. The food was fresh, seasonal, and abundant. Everything tasted amazing, and we were so full and satisfied by the time we left. I highly recommend visiting Casa Maria!!

Se encuentra en una plaza muy amplia con una terraza muy agradable bajo los árboles. El sitio es peculiar porque no tienen carta. Te ponen los platos que tienen en el día. Así que es una sorpresa lo que vas a comer. Los platos están bastante ricos. Si tengo que poner alguna pega, le hechan demasiado aceite a todo. Los camareros muy profesionales y amables. Un sitio recomendable como una experiencia pero no creo que vaya a volver. Nos ha aparecido un poco caro para lo que es porque han sido 80€ 2 personas con la bebida incluida.

Hemos ido por recomendación de uno de los comensales que ya había estado hacía dos años. Menú degustacion, precio a partir de 45€/pp.,al final con botellas de vino, cervezas.. hemos salido a 70€. Entrantes varios y como principales, lubina y pargo y dos platos de carne. Todos los platos estupendos y destacando la lubina y la carne espectaculares. Atención muy bien. Un restaurante a la antigua, con productos de temporada y bien realizados.

No es un restaurante cualquiera, es una experiencia. No sabes que vas a comer, te lo van trayendo y compartes cada uno de los platos. El producto de la comida es muy bueno, pero la elaboración es muy sencilla. La atención es muy buena, excesiva para mi gusto. El local tiene una decoración muy bonita. El ambiente cálido con un hilo musical tranquilo. La pega es que eramos los únicos comensales. Le pongo un 4 porque relación calidad-precio me pareció caro. Comes en un mantel y servilletas de tela, te cambian los cubiertos en cada plato, la calidad del producto es muy bueno. Lo tengo en cuenta, pero aun así caro. 5€ agua de 0.75l. Pagamos 118€ 2 pax con un agua y una copa de vino. No sirven café

The food and the experience were good. They offer a fix menu starting from 45€ and varying depending on the meat and fish. I think this is the only downgrade as you don’t know how much you’re going to pay. If u offer a fix menu, then it should be a fox price. Beverages were of course excluded. Other than this, a very good restaurant!

Tuvimos una experiencia agradable en general. La comida estuvo bien, con platos sencillos y correctamente elaborados. Las alcachofas con jamón, el queso frito con mermelada, el pan con tomate y la lubina nos parecieron acertados. El solomillo estaba en buen punto, aunque llevaba bastante sal gorda, lo que hacía que en algunos bocados predominara demasiado el sabor salado. El postre fue correcto. La cuenta fue de unos 110 € con agua y una copa de vino; no es un sitio económico, y quizá por eso esperábamos algo más que una cocina simplemente correcta. El servicio fue muy atento y profesional, aunque también es cierto que estábamos solos en el local, lo que facilitó una atención muy cercana. En resumen, un lugar agradable, con buen trato, aunque la propuesta gastronómica podría sorprender un poco más para ajustarse mejor al precio.

We chose this restaurant expecting a bespoke dining experience that showcased local Ronda ingredients, but ultimately left underwhelmed. There is no menu and no clear pricing beyond a starting point of €45 per person, which set expectations for something more refined and generous than what was delivered. If you look at photos from other reviews, that is essentially what you get: bread, asparagus, cheese in pastry, a fish course, a small steak shared between two people, and a cake for dessert. Both the quantity and quality felt lacking for the price. The dessert in particular wasn’t to our taste, and we would have happily opted out had there been any flexibility or choice. Bottled water was €5 per bottle, which felt steep, though perhaps not unusual for this type of establishment. The overall experience was also impacted by the lack of atmosphere. We were the only diners at the time, there was no music and the space felt quiet and somewhat flat rather than intimate or special. While the concept may appeal to some, we didn’t find the experience as unique or satisfying as we had hoped, especially given the cost and limited transparency.

The Casa Maria restaurant greeted us with the announcement that they were offering a set menu for two that evening at a price of €45 per person. My Spanish-speaking wife accepted the owner's suggestion, and we were immediately seated—which wasn't surprising, as there were no other guests, and none were expected for the entire evening (although, to be precise, a group of four did arrive, but they declined the set menu and the price offer and left; as did another customer who had called ahead and, after being informed, also declined). So we were left alone with the staff, who consequently had time for interesting conversations with us—in our German, which she spoke very well, having lived in our country for many years. Right at the beginning, she asked us about any allergies—a remarkable thoughtfulness! The evening was very relaxed, and the food was excellent; both the fish and the meat were outstanding! The appetizers and dessert were also exceptionally good. Unfortunately, there was an unexpected twist: the originally quoted price of €45 per person ballooned to a hefty €64. Our budget hadn't been adjusted for this, and we felt it was unfair to be confronted with such a significant increase afterward. This is a real shame, but perhaps it also explains why we were the only guests all evening. Future guests are therefore advised to explicitly state their budget for the evening to the owner and not to allow any additional charges afterward.

Precio de lujo a nivel bajo. El sitio es como "un quiero y no puedo". La comida es buena pero bastante normalita. Pescado hiper básico sin una gotita de aceite...postres prefabricados. La comanda es escasa, platos al centro y poco. No hay carta ni precios de bebidas. El espacio deja mucho q desear, que diria ni cumple normativa. Ni volveré ni lo recomendaré.

Fue una experiencia nada recomendable, no me explicaron nada de lo que había aún comentándole que estaba embarazada y no podía comer ciertos alimentos ni los alérgenos al no haber carta. Nos dijeron que era 45€ el menú y nos salió a 70€ por persona sin habernos informado previamente. La atención por parte de una de las trabajadoras fue nefasto y te dejaba con la palabra en la boca, dándose la vuelta y yéndose. Platos muy mediocres y productos de baja calidad. Aparte de que el lugar es muy pequeño. Nos lo vendieron como un sitio bueno y nada que ver. No volveré nunca más y tampoco lo recomiendo.

Fuimos a Casa María en Ronda porque nos comentaron que el menú tenía un precio desde 45 € por persona, bebida aparte. Sin embargo, al final de la comida nos cobraron todos los platos por separado, superando ese precio, sin habernos informado previamente. Pensábamos que el menú costaba 45 € e incluiría todo lo que nos sirvieran (salvo bebida), y que solo subiría si pedíamos algo fuera de lo previsto. Pero no fue así. Al final, nos sentimos engañados y la experiencia nos pareció cara para lo que fue. Una lástima, porque si realmente el precio hubiese sido cerrado (45 € + bebida), habría sido una experiencia genial.
