In a little square, right in the middle of Almuñécar, La Trattoria, is like a hidden treasure. The reason this restaurant/pizzeria survives is because people know a good thing when they find it, and return again and again.

Eating out in the province of Granad
Mesón
by David Darby •
Of course I’d had a few lovely rations of food in Meson, in the town-hall square in Almuñécar, but I recently tried their evening menu, and plumped for the Brocheta (skewered meat), and was quite disappointed when I realised it meant just the one skewer…
El Árbol Blanco
by David Darby •
Back to the top of Avenida Costa Del Sol now with those talented brothers Jorge and Nacho, who have made this most popular of restaurants a must on the Spanish, as well as visitor s’ list of places to go.
You can enjoy a fantastic range of brilliantly prepared Mediterranean cuisine, either on the cool terrace, inside or even an intimate table for two in the upstairs dining area.
Iguana Playa
by David Darby •
Table with a view sir? Well, that’s the only type of table you get when you dine on the terrace at Iguana Playa. Situated at the far end of El Pozuelo Beach in Taramay, Almuñécar, it truly is a stunning location.
Khan

It is difficult to pass on to readers, which are the best of the dishes available, as we have enjoyed everything from delicious mild Kormas, tasty Tikkas and lovely spicy Masalas, through to a very hot Phal after which it was scientifically possible to fry an egg on my left buttock!
Pin-Ball
by David Darby •
If, like me, you enjoy finding a bit of shade during the summer, but still want to watch the world go by, do what I do and pay a visit to Café-Bar Pin-Ball, on under the Paseo del Altillo in Almuñécar. With its huge terrace, with seaviews in both shade and sun.
Reina Sofia
by David Darby •
Miguel has created a first class venue, beautifully styled and serving superb, original international cuisine, and this combination has made this restaurant into one of those rare places where the customers are divided equally into Spanish and international clientele.
La Ventura
by David Darby •
Just two minutes from the beach, this restaurant delivers on all fronts. The place itself would be worth a visit, even without the food, and it is just as beautiful now as it was when I used to partake of a drink or two there, nearly 30 years ago.
Meson Mari y Miguel
by David Darby •
Accompanying the Ed to Mari y Miguel turned out to be a real treat. Expecting just a tapa or two with our beers, we were so impressed with the meat dish we sampled that we ended up getting a whole ration!
Los Laureles
by David Darby •
If you visit the Almuñécar area, and don’t eat at Los Laureles at least once, then you should seriously consider a visit to the old ‘head doctor’ when you get home, because you’d have to be mad not to eat there!
