Restaurante Jamaica is a café-restaurant on Avenida del Mediterráneo, opposite the Riu Mónica hotel and a step from Torrecilla beach, about 700 metres from the Balcón de Europa. It opens every day from 8:00 to 1:00, so it works for breakfast, lunch, dinner or a drink at any time. It has almost 2,000 Google reviews with a 4.3 rating.

What to order. A long, unpretentious menu: breakfasts, which are well rated, salads (among the most praised dishes), combination plates, meat, fish and sandwiches. Portions are generous and value for money is the best-rated aspect: you pay €10-20 per person. There are vegetarian options and a children's menu, and they do takeaway and delivery.

Who it suits. Families and large groups staying around Torrecilla: the place is big and they usually fit in groups with children without trouble. You can book.

Good to know. Complaints repeat the same points: long waits when it is full, poor coordination between kitchen and floor, and some curt service. If you are in a hurry, avoid peak times. More ideas in where to eat in Nerja.
