Chiringuito

There are local restaurants like that at every Costa del Sol town. Their speciality is the fried fish and even the "paella" (Spanish speciality of rice with meat, fish and seafood). This restaurants are located directly on the beach and it let them a special atmosphere. The main problem is that they are too crowed in summers, specialy at weekends.

Hay restaurantes locales como estos en cada ciudad de la Costa del Sol. Sus especialidades son el pescado frito e incluso la paella (especialidad española consistente en arroz con carne, pescado y marisco). Estos restaurantes están situados directamente en la playa, lo que les dá un ambiente especial. El principal problema es que están muy llenos en verano, especialmente los fines de semana.

I love the squid rings fried!

¡Me encantan los calamares fritos!

This is an excellent ice cream parlour. Actually it's not called "heladería italiana" but this is how it's well-know by the locals. The cafeteria is owned by an Italian family who made their own handycraft ice creams.

Esta es una excelente helader?a. Verdaderamente no se llama "heladería italiana", pero así es como se conoce entre la población. La cafetería pertenece a una familia italiana que hace sus propios helados artesanalmente.

Mary and Jaymes

There were several nice-looking restaurants along the seafront, by the Marina. As we were there in the late afternoon, in early March, most of them seemed quite empty of customers.

We chose tht Bistro del Puerto because it looked somewhat 'fresher' in appearance to some of the others, but I'm sure they were all very good places to eat.

Another view of the same restaurant. Mary is enjoying a cool lager, or was it orange? Haha.

We paid 8 Euros for a very good Pizza. With our drinks and whatever else it was we had, our bill for the three of us was 36 Euros (or US Dollars).

And here we go again!

Again, another Chnese restuarant. This one is situated more in the throng of things happening hence it being busier. I was actually having lunch in the restaurant next door to it so I thought I would take a photo!

If you like Chinese food and fancy something different when youre over in Spain, then I suggest you try this place. The food l;ooked quite tasty, and it seemed to have all the usual affair.

They get everywhere!

I haven't been here to eat I must admit because when you live in a country with Chinese food 24/7 right at your doorstep, you kind of steer away from it when you go on holiday! I just thought I would show this to let you know how very popular Chinese restaurants are in Spain. There are actually quite a lot of Chinese working up the coast, many of whom can only speak a little Spanish and who almost always find jobs in Chinese restaurants as chefs or waiters. I once had a job in Puerto Banus, a really expensive port another 30minute drive up from Estepona, and there were several Chinese there. I was working at a stall over the summer selling furniture from Asia and one guy always used to come by and say hello when he had time. He was a lovely Chinese man and we used to speak Chinese together which made him feel less homesick and helped me practice!

A somewhat useless piece of information for you, and slightly going off track from the main point....excuse me!

	bar Ibiza: OAP Seafood Special	Tip Rating:

We love Ibiza, but this year couldn't afford to go. We laughed when we found this bar as we were walking through the town.

There seemed to be some old person's special going on as the bar was full of elderly people lapping up the Cruzcampo and getting loads of seafood bought to their tables. We stuck out like sore thumbs being the youngest people there.

Strangely we never saw the bar open again apart from that Sunday morning fish frenzy!

The Vines is run by a lovely English couple who've run restaurants in France and Spain before they came to Estpona. They serve up a mixture of International dishes so you're sure to find something you like on the menu.

You can eat outside if you like but we went inside where the decor is heavily influenced by the owners love of wine. if you have a question about any of the wines on the menu they will be able to answer you.

We shared a garlic mushroom starter which was lovely. I had the chicken in a mushroon sauce for my main course. It was creamy without being sickly and very more-ish! Chris had pork in honey and mustard sauce which again was delicious. You get a generous serving of roast potatoes and vegetables as well.

I had the cheesecake for dessert mmmmmmmmmm I was fit to burst afterwards!!

	Rayuela's: Rayuela's (Argentinian Restaurant)	Tip Rating: Satisfaction:

By Helen196

This is a tiny, cosy restaurant tucked away just off Calle Real and Av'da San Lorenzo. The menu is extensive with plenty to chose from. Steaks, chicken, ham, fish, pasta and a small but varied wine list.

The waiter who was working when we visited was really friendly and helped my with my pronounciation of the menu (which he told me was more French than Spanish :lol:).

Argentinian Pasties - very tasty!!

Just be warned the main courses are HUGE servings so it might be an idea to share a starter if you have a smaller appetite!
