Marbella is well known for its spectacular array of restaurants that serve up food from both Spain and around the world. But the trouble with visiting such an area of culinary excellence is that often it’s difficult to know where to start. Here’s a brief guide to five of the best restaurants that you should visit next time you are in town.

1. Morelli’s


Launched by Irish chef Silvano Morelli, this is one of the restaurants that always seems to get great reviews from its happy diners. Located on the east side of Puerto Banus, the centre of wealth and opulence, it caters for some demanding diners, but it seems to please nearly all of the time.


The friendly staff at Morelli’s are welcoming and will make you feel right at home from the moment you step foot inside the building. But of course it is the food that makes or breaks any restaurant, and Morelli’s has some of the best that the Costa del Sol has to offer.


Serving up a wide range of Spanish dishes, including pasta, meat and fish dishes, it aims to please everyone and manages to do just that. Typical starters include fresh mussels, tempura prawns and Caesar salad, and recommended dishes include the meat ravioli, the fillet steak and linguine with fresh lobster. It is not a traditional Spanish restaurant, but if you want to dine well on excellent food in a superb location, you can’t miss Morelli’s.

2. Zozoi


Zozoi is known as the trendiest spot to eat in the Old Town of Marbella, and as soon as you step foot inside the converted house you will see why. Decked out in modern décor, everything is designed to appeal to the eye and attract the ‘in’ crowd in the town.


But it’s not just an attractive interior that makes Zozoi special: here you will find some of the best Mediterranean cuisine on offer in Marbella. The menu is constantly changing with the seasons, so that you are always in for a surprise depending on the time of year that you visit.


The large terrace is perfect for those long, warm summer evenings, and this combined with the fresh food and the great atmosphere make it one of the highlights of Marbella’s gastronomic scene.


Some of the main courses include roasted salmon with honey and lime, braised lamb shank with couscous, and grilled fillet of sea bass with saffron fettuccini and asparagus.

3. Messina


The original Messina was located in the Old Town, but it became so popular that in the end it had to move to bigger premises. This is a sophisticated restaurant that boasts a great menu and a huge selection of wines. There is a sense of fun in the menu that is revealed through the creative dishes that strive to be inventive and end up delivering a real treat to the taste buds.


Items on the menu such as Argentinian fillet steak, grilled skate and Iberic pork lasagne with caramelized apple are sure to lead to an interesting and tasty excursion. There’s also plenty of parking space and a valet service to take the hassle out of visiting.

4. Casa Fernandos


If you’re looking for something traditional and respected by the locals as well as the tourists, you can’t do better than Casa Fernandos. This family-run restaurant has been going for over 30 years, and always seems to be full, which has to be a good sign.


Its speciality is fish, and its loyal customers will tell you that here you will find the best fish dishes in town. But despite seafood being the speciality, it also serves up impressive meat dishes and a popular paella. Located in a large house, customers can sit inside or out on the terrace, and the friendly waiters will make sure to keep your plate full with lots of local delights.


The starters are particularly good, with local cheeses, smoked ham and bread options all very tasty. On top of that it boasts a great selection of Spanish and international wines to accompany the meals.

5. El Pozo Viejo


Translated as ‘The Old Well’, El Pozo Viejo is located just behind the Church of the Incarnation in the Old Town of Marbella. It is a delightful old building, and one of the most impressive features is the old Andalusian patio inside.


The owner is an ex bull fighter, Jaime Carbrerizo, a name which attracts some well-known faces to the restaurant. Here diners are treated to traditional dishes from the Basque region as well as the south of Andalusia, and the motto seems to be quality food at a good price.


The traditional setting is made even more atmospheric when on various nights flamenco dancing and poetry readings take place, making it a rather special evening out. The ‘albondigas’ (meatballs) come highly recommended.
