Restaurante Cafetería Mirasol is on Plaza de los Cangrejos 21, in the Torrecilla area, about 500 metres from the Balcón de Europa. It opens every day from 9:00 to midnight and serves everything from breakfast to dinner. It has loyal customers, locals and visitors who return every year, and a 4.3 rating on Google from more than 1,100 reviews.

What to order. Simple Spanish food with large portions and good prices: pork tenderloin with mushroom sauce, escalope with Roquefort, pizzas and the schnitzel, which surprises many. The house wine is praised too. There is a children's menu and you pay €10-20 per person.

How it works. You can book, and if you turn up without a booking they put you on a waiting list, which usually moves quickly. There is a terrace on the square and they also do takeaway.

Good to know. Service is the weak point: when it is full, waits are long, and quality varies from day to day. For a generous meal with no surprises on the bill, it is a safe choice in the area. More places in where to eat in Nerja.
