Restaurante La Torrecilla sits on the seafront of Torrecilla beach (Calle Torrecilla 3), with a terrace on the promenade and another area in the garden of the La Torrecilla apartments, a little away from the bustle. It opens every day from 9:00 to 23:00 and has more than 1,300 Google reviews with a 4.1 rating.

What to order. The fried fish is what reviews mention most: clean and crisp. People also like the Iberian secreto with Cajun spices and chimichurri, salmon tartare with avocado, garlic clams, salads and breakfasts. Expect to pay €20-40 per person.

Good to know. The paella is the most criticised dish, for quality and price, and service is uneven: often quick and friendly, sometimes unpleasant. Some portions are small. You can book, and in summer it is worth doing for dinner on the terrace.

Who it suits. Breakfast or dinner by the sea at Torrecilla, especially if you are staying in that area. More places in where to eat in Nerja.
