Bar-Restaurante Mena Garden is a garden bar at Calle El Barrio 15, about 250 metres from the Balcón de Europa. What makes it special is the patio: a peaceful garden with a fountain, plants and birdsong, a few steps from Nerja's busiest streets. It has more than 1,300 Google reviews with a 4.3 rating.

What to order. It serves all day: breakfast, lunch, dinner and cocktails. The most praised item is home-made cake with coffee mid-morning, and the menu has simple dishes with generous portions and vegetarian options. It is one of the cheapest places in the centre, with dishes from around €5-10.

Opening hours. Every day from 10:00 to 23:00. You can book.

Good to know. Service is uneven on some visits, some dishes are basic, and a few reviews complain about extra charges for things like ice or changes to a dish. In return, it is one of the quietest spots for a break near the Balcón. More cafés in our guide to cafés in Nerja.
