Merendero La Barca Nerja Reviews
Riquísimo. Tortillitas de camarones, espeto de sardinas, boquerón fritos... muy buena calidad! las almejas al ajillo un poco más sosas pero también ricas.
Un muy buen restaurante tipico de la zona con especialidad en pescado a la brasa. El trato inmejorable y la calidad de los productos de primera. Muy buen precio para la cantidad que ponen. La fritura de pescado para 2 es abundante. En temporada baja nos han dado un servicio de 10. Gracias por todo.
Merendero de playa típico. Comida buenísima. Precio acorde. Siempre lleno. Pero servicio rápido y eficaz. Nos pusimos, mi mujer y yo, hasta arriba de comer. Raciones generosas.
Cena de verano a pie de playa. Pedimos espeto y dorada a la brasa, tienen una carta con muy buena pinta. Todo estaba muy bien hecho y buenísimo. La dorada viene con guarnición de ensalada y una patata asada con alioli. De postre tarta de queso casera, correcta. El trato de los camareros de 10, en especial de Ivan, un chico muy majo que nos trató genial.
Comida calidad precio buenísima, Buenos profesionales, sirven rápido, no admiten reservas por lo que las horas puntas puedes encontrar colas para entrar pero la espera es poco tiempo. Pedimos un espeto de sardinas que no me gustó porque estaba bastante seco llevaba ya un tiempo hecho, sin embargo pedimos una ensalada César que fue espectacular y calamaritos a la plancha que también fueron una auténtica delicia. Un lugar completamente recomendable
Para repetir. Comida excelente y personal atento, no nos faltó nada en ningún momento. Pedimos arroz negro y espetos, riquísimo todo y la tarta de queso de postre buenísima. Recomendable.
Pedimos media ensalada de la casa, rejos, cazon y paella. Todo buenísimo. Y para rematar una tarta de queso.
Se come muy bien y los camareros muy simpáticos. No es demasiado caro para la cantidad de comida que ponen en el plato. Vistas a la playa de burriana.La única pega es que no tienen teléfono ni web por lo cual tienes que ir en persona a reservar. Nosotros pedimos reserva para las 14.30h porque desde las 12.30h comen los guiris y a nuestra hora había algo de menos gente.
Si vas temprano, tendrás mesa. El calamar a la plancha estaba muy bueno! Se esta bastante bien y los camareros estaban todos atentos 👌🏽
De lejos el mejor restaurante de playa Burriana, siempre comemos aquí, me encanta el entrecot, el mejor que he probado 100% BBQ, y la dorada… recomendada 100%, lo único que no me gustaba era que dejaban fumar dentro, pero hoy una cliente preguntó si podía fumar dentro y le pidieron el favor que fumada fuera…. Se agradece para los que no fumamos, los niños y las embarazadas. FELICITACIONES AL PERSONAL.
Celebramos el 80 cumpleaños de mi madre, se portaron genial, no faltó comida en ningún momento, todo muy bueno y con abundancia, totalmente recomendable
Pasé el fin de semana en Málaga, y a la vuelta, antes de bajar a Murcia se nos ocurrió parar ahí, y menos mal, por que a parte de estar todo buenísimo, los camareros súper simpáticos y atentos. De todos los sitios que he estado comiendo este finde sin duda, aquí fue el que más nos gustó. Y qué pena que nos pille tan lejos, por que volveríamos 100%. Se a donde volveríamos si vamos otra vez por esas zonas. Todo espectacular. Estamos tan acostumbrados a los pequeños platos que nos ponen en Murcia que cuando nos pusieron estos platazos no sabíamos dónde meter tanta comida jajajaja.
El chiringuito de toda la vida!!! El personal muy amable y rápido. La comida de calidad y muy sabrosa! Siempre venimos y nunca falla!!!
Chiringuito en primera línea de playa en Burriana. Es muy amplio y cuenta con un servicio atento y amable. Cuenta con gran variedad de pescado al espetó y fritura de pescado, también algunos platos de carne y entrantes. La relación calidad-precio adecuada. En verano demasiado lleno, pero el resto del año un lugar excelente.
FENOMENAL, hemos pedido paella mixta y estaba buenísima. Destacar la amabilidad y atención impecable de los camareros súper cercanos y amables. Lo recomendaremos sin duda y volveremos seguro!!
We were blown away by the quality of their seafood dishes! The mussels were perfectly cooked, and the gold brass fish was a highlight. The sardines straight off the grill were absolutely delightful. But the real star of the show was the fish soup - it's hands down the best I've ever had! The service was also incredibly quick and attentive. Highly recommend this spot for seafood lovers!.
I have no idea where the bad reviews come from. Perhaps we we're lucky? Nice food (though we're difficult to make happy), friendly staff,... Paella was perhaps a little more salty than most people would like, but it's all about taste. I liked it a lot. So for compensation 5⭐
The fish at La Barca is simply excellent, fresh and perfectly grilled, full of flavor. Eating here with your feet in the sand makes the experience even more special. The grilled fish is always accompanied by a delicious baked potato with aioli, which is really good. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and very helpful. It can get quite busy in the afternoon and evening, so if you plan to go with a larger group it’s definitely best to make a reservation. All in all, La Barca is a must-visit for anyone who loves authentic, simple, and perfectly prepared seafood in a beautiful beachside setting.
Down the beach in nerja, this is one of the best places to be eat. The service is very good even during their busier periods. The food is absolutely amazing. And the atmosphere is lovely. It’s always busy and I guess that can show that they’re very good. This is our third visit and we’re always full and happy after. Defo recommend.
If you plan to eat someplace nearby the beach this is your place. Food was better than those around. The service was as good as it could get in rush hours, be patient with them as we all want to eat at the same time and they’re not machines! Big warning ⚠️ Go before 1.30-1.45 or you’ll be queuing up for a long time. Can’t do a reservation. First in first served.
This is by far and away the best merendero on Burrianna beach. We have been coming here for several years and the food and welcome is always magnificent. Always busy at lunch time with a high proportion of Spanish clientele which is always a good sign. The seafood is always excellent especially the grilled fish which is expertly cooked over a charcoal flame. The meat is also of a high quality, beer is very cold, and the wine is typically of a good solid quality. The vibe is typically Andalusian so stay relaxed and do try to speak some Spanish, it will enhance your visit. Lovely waiting staff as well. Highly recommended.

Excellent swordfish, padron peppers and caprese. cuttlefish a bit tough. Efficient friendly service and decent value. Sandy floor a little unusual, but it is on the beach!

Otro buen descubrimiento para comer en tu día de vacaciones en la playa. Recomendamos los espetos de sardinas, la ensalada de aguacate y la paella de arroz. Servicio dinámico.
Comida muy buena y a precios muy razonables para estar en primera línea de playa. Hemos esperado a tener mesa unos 5 minutos. El servicio fue estupendo por parte de todos los camareros excepto el que te da mesa, que inicialmente te dice que hay mesa para 5 y a los 5 minutos te dice que no hay mesa después de esperar en la cola. Después de discutir nos dice si nos valía un mesa de 4 para 5 personas y al final nos la prepararon. Debe de tener más educación para atender y dirigirse a la gente
Pedimos espetos 10/10 tortillitas de camaron que nos gustaron pero sin mas y chuletillas que algunas zonas estaban algo quemadas de mas pero aun así muy buenas
A great beach restaurant. Don’t be deterred by the plastic tables and chairs if you want tasty food with big portions! We had the goat’s cheese salad as a starter to share and that alone was enough. I had mussels and my husband the pork with Roquefort sauce, delicious! We could not got dessert in unfortunately as were too full. Beach is right in front.
First thing we did after we arrived was head to the beach and then look for some food. This place looked the most promising but looks were deceptive. Service was good but the food ‘just okay’ - d…

Altho the food was quite tasty my mother was served raw chicken they put things on our bill that we didnt receive or that we did not order. The girl ( a rather skinny one ) who was responsible for taking our payment was extremely rude. Not coming here again.
Lovely food and great staff Except one particular waiter who bash’s, bangs and shouts, he is the rudest person I have ever seen in the hospitality sector, it’s such a shame as everyone else is love…
Algo caro para la calidad de la comida, la paella fueron 30€ para dos personas, un precio medio de paella en cualquier sitio de playa y era grande, pero no nos gustó nada, era insípida y tenía muchísimo tomate. Por otro lado pedimos unas patatas alioli y el sabor no era muy bueno, algunas patatas sabían rancias.
Arrived with friends 40 mins before it shuts and the waiter was stressed and immediately pointing to when the kitchen shut Asked for food that took 30 mins but was told no time Had the lasagna whic…

Mal no poder reservar mesa y tener que esperar en una fila situada delante de todos los que están comiendo. Resulta bastante incómodo para quien está ya comiendo ,ver cómo los de la fila nos miran deseando que terminemos de comer para poder sentarse ellos. En lugar de poder ver el mar que está justo enfrente hay que mirar la fila de gente esperando poder tener mesa. Así que el encanto del lugar se pierde por esa mala organización del Merendero . La comida es la normal para un merendero de esa categoría. Los tallarines a la marinera que pedidos tenían tierra de no haber limpiado bien los mejillones .
