Manolo, who many will remember as the waiter at Restaurante Peña Parda, has opened a thriving one himself, together with family.

Restaurante Nuevo Arena which is found down the west end of the La Herradura Bay beach road, not only enjoys a splendid view of the bay itself, visible from both the terrace and the inside dining area, but also breathes space and clarity, thanks to its natural light and bright colours.

Manolo and wife, Paqui, are backed up by Manolo jr. at the kitchen’s helm, as well as Laura and Mila. Together they produce and provide excellent meat and fish dishes and natural garnish, to accompany them, as well as homemade desserts.

Closed Sunday afternoons and all day Monday, Restaurante Nuevo Arena‘s kitchen is open from 11.00h to 16.00h and 19.30h to 23.00h.

They also have a Menu del Día, available both lunch and dinner, comprising of a choice of six starters, six main dishes, and dessert for just 13 euros.
