Restaurante Cafetería Hermes is on Plaza de España, right in the centre of Nerja about 150 metres from the Balcón de Europa. It opens every day from 8:00 to midnight, making it one of the few places in the centre for an early breakfast or a late dinner when others have closed their kitchens. It has almost 950 Google reviews with a 3.8 rating.

The set menu. This is its best-rated feature: around €12 for a starter, main and dessert (drinks extra), with generous portions of home-style Spanish cooking. The fried dishes are praised for their size. There are also breakfasts, combination plates and a children's menu. Expect €10-20 per person.

Good to know. Opinions vary widely: on the plus side, price, quantity and the terrace on the square; on the minus side, slow service even when quiet, curt manners from some waiters and dishes of uneven quality.

Who it suits. A cheap, quick set lunch in the centre, without high expectations. More ideas in where to eat in Nerja.
