Most praised: Original secret entrance and concept · Stylish, immersive atmosphere · Inventive, high-quality food

Restaurante Oculto is one of the most original restaurants in Nerja: to get in you need an access code that is sent to you when you book, and inside is a carefully decorated room with a night-time atmosphere. It is at Calle Castilla Pérez 11, about 400 metres from the Balcón de Europa, and has a 4.7 rating on Google from almost 1,900 reviews.

What to order. The cooking is creative, with familiar flavours given a technical twist. Among the most mentioned dishes are the tartare nigiri and the Iberian presa, and there are vegetarian options. The highlight is the tasting menus, which need to be booked several weeks in advance. The cocktail list works both with dinner and afterwards. Expect €20-40 per person à la carte, more with the tasting menu.

Opening hours. It opens in the evening only, every day from 19:45 to 1:00, and until 2:00 on Fridays and Saturdays. Without a booking it is hard to get in.

What reviews say. Almost everyone praises the food, the service and the experience of walking into a "hidden" place. Criticism points to smallish portions for the price, noise at some dinners and the odd dish that could be better. A good choice for a special night out. More ideas in where to eat in Nerja.
