This is a little chiringutio on Torrox-Costa promenade. Nothing fancy but great food., fish grilled on open fire. They also serve paella for one which can be dificult to find.

Very Spanish looking, waiter/owner has reasonable English. English menu available.

Favorite Dish: Fried anchovies

Excellent Chinese restaurant on promenade in Torrox-Costa. If you have a car, it's well worth coming here to this fairly recently opened place. The food is great, and there is little extra flourishes like vegetable carved as birds. Interior is large and pleasant.

Favorite Dish: Pescado con Salsa Picant, fish with spicy sauce.

La Taberna del Sacristan is a lovely restaurant right in the centre of Frigiliana right in front of the church. There is outside seating in the Plaza with a view of the church front.

The food is excellent and the staff are very good. The menu is in English as well as Spanish and the waiters speak good English.

In the evening, it is a lovely place to have dinner. It is also open at Lunchtime. This is my favourite restaurant. It is dearer than average but not exceedingly so. Our last meal for two with three courses, water, house wine and coffee came to just under 60 Euros.

The female diners always get a flower on leaving.

Favorite Dish: They have a great grilled vegetable selection for starters and the fish dishes are good. All main courses are served with a baked potato.

Pleasant little cafe to have breakfast at with outside seating. Its attraction is that it has hot chocolate and churros, both delicious and a popular breakfast or mid-morning snack for Spaniards.

Favorite Dish: Churros. Churros are made from dough extruded into thin tubes, these have a star shaped cross section and are several inches long. Deep fried to form loops and coated in sugar and dipped in a bowl of hot chocolate they make for a sublime start to the day that is hard to improve on.

Only had lunch here of omelettes which was good so can't really comment on food but the view from the terrace is great. It's big and it overlooks the sea and other than large umbrellas over the tables, the sunshine has an unrestricted path to you.

There's a proper restaurant inside but on the terrace there's a little bar you can sit round as well. Drink prices are average.

Favorite Dish: The view

A popular restaurant overlooking the beach at Playa Torrecilla. There are outside seats on the promenade and seating inside but still with good view of beach. The food is better than you would expect from its location close to the beach and more Spanish than international. Lunch for two including sangria was generally less than 30 Euros, reasonably priced as this was for fish dishes.

The waiters are very quick in fact one usually runs from kitchen to table. Also good spot to have coffee or a drink and ogle people on the beach. One of the days we were there, there was a mobile massage centre on the beach with staff from nearby hotel's health centre.

Favorite Dish: Merluza a la Romana

Good local restaurant with outside seating. Great view of countryside from outside seats. Staff all Spanish but menu is in English as well as Spanish. Good toilets.

Favorite Dish: Brocheta Spescado, grilled mixed fish on skewers

Very good food specialising in seafood. The restaurant overlooks the sea and there is an outside terrace. At night you can watch the lights of the fishing boats and listen to the crashing of the waves.

Staff are all Spanish but the menu is in English and German as well as Spanish. You can have just a drink or coffee here and the view during the day is lovely.

Favorite Dish: Caldereta de arroz marine, a kind of seafood stew with rice
