With arguably the most photographed façade in Almuñécar, Los Geraneos definitely tastes as good as it looks.

The food is superb, the service friendly and attentive, but the main reason this place is so damned popular is the consistency. Being a wizened old fart, I’ve dined in a hell of a lot of eateries along our coast, but when push comes to shove and you want to eat somewhere you can guarantee is going to delight, it has to be Los Geraneos.

If you had asked me 10 years ago if the place could be made any better, I’d have answered, ‘probably not.’ But with the acquisition of the patio to the rear and extra dining space adjacent to the original premises, they have actually improved the venue, especially with the enclosed terrace, which is delightfully, picturesque area to dine.

Anyway, enough of this bigging the place up… just get your hungry butts down there and eat. If you’ve never dined there before, you are clearly suffering from some sort of mental breakdown, but you are in for a treat. If you’ve been before but not tried the new terrace, give it a go, you’ll be glad you did.

Finally, I’ve been thinking about what I would recommend, which is an impossible task really as everything is good and of course tastes vary. However, the Stuffed, Chicken Breast is ‘to die for’ and the Caesar Salad is delicious. But of course, Eladio, who runs the show along with his trusty team will give you a full run down of any specials.

Make sure you book! I know, we always say this, but believe me, this one is a must: Los Geraneos, Plaza de la Rosa 4, Almuñécar. Tel. 958 63 40 20
