I would suggest making a reservation well ahead of time. They squeezed our group of five in when we…read moreentered at their 7:30 pm opening time. They just asked we be done by 9:30 pm for the next party. Mix of regional dishes but primarily Middle Eastern. We also had chicken shish tauk which is a kebab. The rice pilaf contains almonds so be aware for those of you with nut allergies. I had the lamb kebabs which came with roasted potatoes. All the food was very good. We sat on the lower level and inside which was cozy. Please note the stairs are steep and the head space as you are going down or between rooms is low.

We had a great experience and if we are in the area will definitely be back. Make sure to make reservations in advance. Also to give your self time to see the beautiful town. One last recommendation is after dinner, visit the "teteria" where you can enjoy drinks and desert on the rooftop terrace.

The person managing affairs was very nice and overwhelmed - too much work for one individual. Nothing quaint here. Needs a firm commitment to high standards.

The service was a little haphazard but they got it done. Most importantly though it was a really special place with a beautiful view of Ronda. The restaurant is on a large patio with a lot of nooks to explore and experience. Although it is a beautiful spot for a romantic dinner and nice family dinner it is also super kid friendly. My kids really had fun in their tree house and gardens. My only regret is not chatting up the owner to learn more about how this place came to be. If you go, please ask and post here so we all get the story. I bet it is good!

We loved our afternoon quick bite on the balcón overlooking valley. Food was tasty, service was…read moreleisurely the setting was lovely. The restaurant is actually the owners home, which adds to the charm and helps explain some of the service lag- but this is Spain/Europe. Expect to enjoy your meal/drinks without being rush. My guess is that it's a fairly new operation and will find its feet at some point.

Arroyo Hondo is situated in Casares, up in the mountains. The road up from the coast way (AP7) is…read morewindling, but it is so worth it. Arroyo Hondo is owned by a japanese woman and her brittish husband, hence the theme of the food is international with asian, moroccan and european influences. During the hot summer most of the visitors are sitting in the beautiful and lovely garden which reminds a bit about Japan exterior. The waiters are very nice and service-minded. We ordered chicken karage to share as a starter (8.5EUR) which was pleasant. As a main course we ordered Lamb chops, Skirt steak with soba noodles, turbot with baby potatoes and monkfish with citronaisse (mayonaisse with a touch of citrus). Approx. 18-22EUR per dish. The presentation of the dishes was fabulous and all of the tasted good. However the Skirt Steak became everyones favourite! The children ordered 2 margaritas that also looked really tasty (really good that they had options for children as well). As dessert it was really difficult to decide since the menu were full of tempting choices. However we ordered baked lemon cake and pavlova with berries (6.5EUR). Both of them really good as well. Why only 4 star? Arroyo Hondo has become one of my favourites in Costa del Sol. Food with modern touch, divine view up in the mountains, service-minded waiters/waitresses and affordable. However, for the last star I would like even more spices in the food and even more WOW-feeling (now I am comparing with restaurants in general and not only restaurants in Costa del Sol). Go here during your next stay. Eat, relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery high up in the mountains! Pay attention: You need to make a reservation at least 2 days in advance!
