Kronox Café is the café-bar on the Balcón de Europa itself, with a terrace on the square next to El Salvador church and the viewpoint. It is one of the two Kronox venues in central Nerja; the other, Kronox Plaza, is about 100 metres away on Plaza Cavana. They share a Google listing, rated 4.3 from more than 1,800 reviews (4.2 on Tripadvisor).
What there is. It opens every day from 9:00 to 2:00 and serves everything: breakfasts (including diabetic-friendly ones), coffee with churros, brunch, tapas, lunch and dinner dishes, cocktails, wine and beer. There is a children's menu and you pay €10-20 per person.
What reviews say. The location, the lively terrace and the drinks are the best-rated aspects, and many customers praise particular waiters and the attention given to children. Criticism mentions uneven service when it is busy, food that is fine but no more for the price, and kitchen hours shorter than the bar's.
Who it suits. Breakfast or a drink watching the comings and goings on the Balcón, at any time of day or night. More cafés in our guide to cafés in Nerja.
