Is the second time that i have lunch in this restaurant and it´s the best option to have a good meal in Ronda. They have a fantastic menu for only 8 euros (drink not included) and you can choose between 3 starters, 3 main courses and 3 desserts. I had the mixed salad as starter, meat bolls with chips as a main and ice cream as dessert. The restaurant is very beautiful is located in a traditional patio from century 18 and the its decoration is amazing. The staff is very nice, the service and food is supper.

Es la segunda vez que almuerzo en este restaurante y es uno de los mejores restaurante que hay en Ronda. Tienen un menu por solo 8 euros (la bebida no va incluida) y puedes elegir entre 3 primeros, 3 segundos y 3 postres, yo comí la ensalada mixta de primero, albondigas con patatas fritas de segundo y helado de postre. El restaurante es precioso y está situado en un patio del siglo 18 y la decoración es lo mejor. El personal es muy amable, el servicio y la comida fantastico.

This is one of those really posh places, not really for a working joe like me. If your loaded and you like these types of places rather than a hearty meal at a working class joint than this place if for you.

Unlike other restaurants that put everyone near the window to make them look full, this restaurant puts you at the back so people don't walk past you all the time.

The meal was fine and slightly bigger than I expected for such a restaurant. This dish I ordered was fairly simply and it came as such, fine, but for such a restaurant you would expect them to be a bit more extravagant.

The wine was good and you can order half bottles which you are required to taste before being poured and then it is left to air before being poured for you. (it's that type of place!) The service here is impecable, it cannot be faulted at all.

The desert was really nice, but for an average guy like me just too small. All in all an experience, but not one I could afford to do again.

Favorite Dish: Before you've even ordered they bring out some really nice small apertisers for you to try, this was probably the best part of going to the restaurant as you can try these new things which you will never find anywhere else and they taste brilliant!

If you are tired of eating tapas, the hotel Don Miguel has a great restaurant, with awesome food and views of the gorge. This is not an inexpensive place though.

Favorite Dish: The chicken casserole was great!! So was the garlic soup!!!

Churros with hot chocolate is a very popular drink/snack combination in Spain. We tried it a cafe in Ronda. Actually we just tried the Churros - I tried it with coffee and Ruth went for orange juice.

Churros is difficult to describe. It's like a fried battered donut, similar to the dough used in a Hungarian langos. Normally it's served with hot chocolate, into which you dip the churros. It's very filling - I think if you had this every morning you'd have no difficulty skipping breakfast and you'd quickly put on the pounds.

We read a feature on this restaurant in the local English language newspaper, and liking what we read, we decided to give it a try. The article suggested the owner was very friendly and it turned out to be true. He is clearly a Gaudi fan as there were pictures of the Sagrada Familia on the walls and the bar had designs reminiscent of Parc Guell in Barcelona.

We went for the 10 Euro menu. Three courses, bread and a drink for 10 Euro was an excellent deal especially as we got to try the house special - Porra - and local speciality Gazpacho. Both are soups served cold, which sounded a little strange to me at first, though it was delicious. Our main courses were equally good and the wine they gave us was lovely.

Service was fine at the start though we had to wait a long time for dessert when the place got very busy. Most of the customers were locals which is always a good sign.

As breakfast wasn't included at our hotel, we went to a bar to grab something to eat. We found Cafeteria Cristina in a quiet street near Plaza del Socorro. Quite a few of the locals were already starting on the beer but all we wanted was breakfast. We got a nice breakfast of coffee and croissants for 2 Euro each.

This place is next to other restaurants that are cheap, so it's easy to overlook it. It was never busy when we were there, although I have no idea why. The food is AWESOME! The waiters were so professional and caring -- and they got to know us since we ate there 4 nights in a row! There are tables outside, and many tables inside. It's very pleasant to sit outside and eat that hot delicious food!

Favorite Dish: I had three different dishes. Bombay Aloo -- boiled potatoes in curry sauce; chicken curry; vegetable curry. Ask for the rice -- it's heavenly, seasoned with cloves and saffron. We had every kind of nan, here, too -- garlic, onion, cheese, and coconut-almond-sugar. They're absolutely wonderful.

We also had Navarra red wine, which the waiter suggested we try with lemon Fanta (basically lemon soda) and ice. This was delicious!

In the Plaza Duquesa de Parcent besides such lovely historical buildings there are also a couple of gift shops and a couple of cafes. We stopped at a cafe by by the Church of Saint Isabel of the Angels. a very tiny place, only a handful of seats inside, but tables and chairs outside, where we didnt eat just had a glass of ice cold beer. They did serve food as well.
