What there is. It opens every day from 9:00 to 2:00: reasonably priced breakfasts and coffee, brunch, tapas, lunch, dinner and cocktails. The barbecue pizza gets good mentions, and a complimentary snack usually comes with your drink. There is a children's menu and you pay €10-20 per person.
What reviews say. People like the large terrace, the atmosphere of the square and the location, where the Balcón meets the old town's bar streets. The most frequent complaints are brusque service from some staff, prices not shown on the menu and uneven cocktails and food, so ask the prices before ordering.
Who it suits. A coffee or a drink on one of Nerja's liveliest squares, at any time. More cafés in our guide to cafés in Nerja.
