    Estepona, Spain is a Foodie's paradise. I have had great Greek, Italian, and Chinese cuisine in…read moreEstepona but on one particular Sunday afternoon whilst strolling down Calle Caridad, I saw Las Gitanillas and they had paella on the menu posted outside which immediately caught my attention.  Let me cut to the chase, that was the best Paella that I have had in a very long time which paired quite well with a very nice Albariño highly recommended by Javier, one of the servers and family member. After a fabulous meal, I rather enjoy a nice aperitif and so far, Las Gitanillas is the only venue that I have patronized in Estepona that has my favourite, Drambuie.  Manuela, her daughter Gema, and son Javier were the perfect hosts and the epitome of exemplary customer satisfaction. Indeed Las Gitanilllas will be once of the first venues that I patronize for my lite snack and beverages with authority when I visit Estepona next year.

    Excellent service, food and cozy but elegant space! This is an establishment that does what so many…read moreothers aspire to and few achieve. We arrived for a Christmas night dinner with very few expectations. My what a Christmas gift. My wife and I arrived at 7:30 (I know really early by Spanish standards) to a half full room of diners including families dressed for a special evening, as we were. Shown to our table immediately, seated, allowed a few minutes to settle in before asked for drinks and shown menus. Very easy flow of menus, cocktails, wine list and time to peruse. They offered specials but the head waiter stopped in to offer the kitchen expertise for anything off menu that they might try satisfy. All done with ease and grace. Menu was expansive Spanish/ French with nice selections of seafood and meats. My wife had the lobster Thermidor and I had a fish soup and grilled corvina. We started with fresh bread and butter (excellent olive oil was on the table), a muse bouche of salmon purée, olives, an aioli and carrot/celery. The salmon was nicely done and a good start. The soup came next and was very flavorful and hearty. Nice chunks of seafood. The mains came next nicely timed. The Thermidor was nicely sauced with large chunks and sauce was exquisitely balanced. My wife loved it. My corvina was a a very nice portion. Gilled to perfection on a bed of whipped potatoes, julienne vegetables and delectable sauce. We finished with a goat cheese ice cream. It went well with our remaining cava (the wine list is extensive and heavily Spanish) and a nice cortado. We were given a Spanish cordial on the house that finished the meal. This was the work of a confident and professional kitchen. Service was special. We had at least 2 waiters (both young women) looking after us. They remained unobtrusive but efficient. Smiles and banter when we initiated but very professional. The restaurant was elegant but comfortable,15-18 tables I could see. As we left we were thanked and shown again the kind of genuine hospitality of gracious hosts who were confident and proud of their kitchen and staff and who truly enjoyed their work. I thought $$'s were equivalent to the value received. If you have the opportunity when you visit Marbella/ Estepona or make a special trek to try, I hope you will not be disappointed.

    Absolutely amazing Spanish food: we started with some "pulpitos" and followed by a lobster…read moretermidor... just amazing! A live guitarist has been adding to the magic of the moment. Highly recommended!
