What to order. Classic Málaga cooking: prawns pil pil, oxtail stew (among the best in town, according to reviews), croquettes, chargrilled fish such as sea bream or sole, and fish skewers. Portions are very generous and come with sides, so three dishes feed five people. Expect €20-40 per person.

Opening hours. Every day 13:00-15:30 and 19:00-22:30. There is a terrace and they also do takeaway.

Booking. The only drawback mentioned in reviews: it fills up early, so book ahead. If you want to eat like a local, away from tourist spots, it is a safe bet. More ideas in where to eat in Nerja.
