Restaurante Botanic is a creative restaurant right in the centre of Nerja, at Calle Almirante Ferrándiz 28, about 250 metres from the Balcón de Europa. It opens for dinner only, every day from 18:00 to 23:00, and has a 4.5 rating on Google from almost 800 reviews (4.4 on Tripadvisor).

What to order. The menu is a change from the usual in Nerja: duck bao buns, croquettes, risotto, tuna tartare, foie gras and beef burgers, which have many fans, plus a vegetarian option. The desserts and the brioche are often mentioned. There is a good wine and cocktail list, and the kitchen explains which dishes can be made gluten-free. Expect to pay €20-40 per person.

The place. It has a terrace and two deep indoor rooms decorated with plants and a small fountain. The staff are the best-rated aspect in reviews. Criticism points to the rooms being full and noisy at peak times, and some inconsistency with the meat and duck.

Booking. You can book, and in high season it is worth doing: it is the most common complaint from people who turn up without a table. A good choice for a relaxed dinner after a stroll on the Balcón. More ideas in where to eat in Nerja.
