When I am in Estepona, a few months out of the year, this is my favorite restaurant and I eat here…read moremultiple times a week. First, you will definitely need a reservation. It is always busy. There is seating in the "patio" with a nice man made fireplace in cooler months. There is the main area with the bar and a long table. And there is the option to sit on the 'terrace,' which is a pedestrian street. Weather cooperating, we love to sit on the terrace and people watch. All areas are extremely clean and cheerful. Service is friendly and efficient without being pesty. When a table is reserved, it is yours from your reservation time to the remainder of the evening. They never try to hustle you along so that others (without a reservation) might be seated. American restaurants could learn from this. The menu has about 30 different tapas offerings as well as pinchos, tostas, and entrees. There is something for every appetite. There is always one or two tapas of the day, which change. I am not a seafood eater, so I am thankful that at least half the items offered are not from the sea. My boyfriend loves seafood, so there is plenty to satisfy his tastes, too. We really like to chose 2 to 3 tapas each and that is very filling. My favorites are "taco de manzana" and the chicken burrito, oh, and the mini lamb hamburgers! I guess I really don't have just one favorite! Everything is very fresh and tasty. Most of the tapas are 2€ and 3€. The tostas are 8€ and very filling. My favorite is tosta queso de cabra. Among larger items, my boyfriend really likes the shrimp brick. They will also accommodate an appetite and make it larger or smaller. I normally drink sparkling water or tea. My boyfriend is the wine drinker. They have an extensive wine offering and at least once a month will have a special event with wine pairings or a wine class. They have a full time sommelier who organizes these events. There is also a full bar. I will usually have an after dinner drink. The pours are generous! Our bill for the evening (2 people) is usually 20€-25€ for 6 tapas, a wine (or two), water and an after dinner drink. Highly recommended!

One of my favorite meals in Marbella was our dinner at The Orange Tree. The friendly owners, Frank…read moreand Irene, warmly welcomed us into their restaurant and made us feel like family. Shortly after we ordered a bottle of wine for the table, Irene brought us the most incredible homemade bread that was accompanied with olive tapenade, whipped butter, and pickled garlic cloves. I could have ate the bread all night, but I finally had to push it aside so I could save room for my dinner! The Orange Tree offers a two-course and three-course early bird menu. Since the early bird menu was so reasonably priced I decided on the three-course menu since it was only a few dollars higher than the two-course menu. (Calories don't count when you are on vacation, right?) For my appetizer I ordered the Thai-style Mussels served in a green curry and lemongrass broth, for my entree I ordered the Duck Confit with mashed potatoes and red cabbage, and for my dessert I ordered the Pear Tarte Tartin. Please note that the menu does change frequently to incorporate seasonal ingredients. The mussel appetizer is amazing and I highly recommend ordering this dish. The broth is so fragrant and each bite was an explosion of different flavors. I stole a few bites of my husband's scallops and pork belly appetizer and it was fantastic! The duck confit was delicious, but I was too full and couldn't finish it. I tried to cancel my dessert, but Frank insisted there is always room for dessert so somehow I managed to polish off a pear tarte with vanilla ice cream. Originally we had planned to turn in early since we had a 6:00 am flight the following morning, but our dinner was leisurely spread over a three hour period. Everything is made from scratch so expect food to come out of the kitchen at a slower pace. We didn't mind at the time since we were enjoying our meal and chatting with Frank.

Perfectly located on the main strip of La Cala village, Tikus is easy to find although parking is tricky in season. You can dine inside or on the ample terrace and both are perfectly appointed. The menu is not too extensive but for me sufficiently varied. Iberian platters are very good with Bellota ham well cut and presented. My visit with my family we shared a few platters and a couple of excellent main courses - supported with some good wine served by the glass. Service was very good even though the restaurant was very busy. The meal cost approx. 70€ for four including the gratuity. Certainly worth the visit and I will definitely visit again!
