You will not be disappointed, and I must say, it is NOT pricey at all. It is something different, a change from the other cuisine that you will typically find in the area. This is truly a hidden gem, a rare find, and by all means a bargain! They are closed Sunday evening and all day Monday except in June and July when they are open every night. You will have a set menu. In our case it was 6 courses for 36€. There is a full wine list with plenty of reasonably priced vinos. The service was phenomenal - we did not pour an ounce of wine ourselves. If the glass was near empty it was promptly filled. Same held true for the water. The place settings were immaculate - not a fingerprint to be found. The food was mind blowing. Everything was beautifully presented - artistic, flawless, just mesmerizing. Each course was cooked perfectly, exquisitely, and was nothing short of a culinary masterpiece. My compliments to the chef! You surely are missing out if you visit Almuñecar and don't eat here.

These are more traditional Spanish dishes. Excellent fresh, local fish is grilled just to the right degree: done but still tender and moist. The beef cuts are of very good quality, cooked at the right speed in the oven to also be tender and moist. The simple classics like salmorejo and gazpacho are excellent starters here. The same is the true for the cheese selection. There are some very nice options for vegetarians (nod to my wife). The wine selection is fairly good. The service is better than most. The patio is a nice place to sit and relax with friends. Prices are absolutely very reasonable. I would give it 4.5 stars if I could (and I almost never give 5 stars).

We went here for lunch. The restaurant is close to the beach, and has some sea view. Inside it´s…read morerather old looking, not fancy - more traditional. The food is ok, but this is a place for older Scandinavian people. In Almunecar is rare to find a Swedish/Danish speaking waiters/owner. We had several courses. The free appetizer was cocked potatoes with dill mayonnaises .The chicken salad was the best one, but the Chinese cabbage was a bit 80´s to us. I had clams, with a sauce of amongst others garlic and dill. At least 1/3 was not opened, so the starter was quite small. The main course, turbot, was very ordinary and the vegetables close to boring: cocked peas, carrots cauliflower and cooked potato with, yes dill. When you can eat great fish at Lute y Jesus almost next door and fantastic meat at Los Geranios some 100 meter from Sabina, there are no reasons to stop at the restaurant, if you´re not Scandinavian speaking and like a native tongue conversation.

She personally comes out to explain the menu to you. They have a fantastic "menu del dia", menu of the day that consists of an appetizer, entree and dessert for 9.95 Euros. Grab a seat outside with a view of the beach and enjoy your utterly fresh fish. The sole was fantastic, grilled to perfection and very fresh. The mackerel was also very good if you like mackerel. It's a saltier more fleshy fish thant the sole. I also had the cod, but I preferred the sole more. All of the fish preparations are very simple so you can really taste the fish that you are eating. Also order the Gambas Pil Pil appetizer to share. The shrimps stewed in garlic and tomato is very flavorful and you must order the bread to eat with this otherwise it will be unbearably salty. As a side note, beware of jellyfish on the beach, they will sting!

They have, compared to most of the restaurants in the area, the ability to renew themselves and the menu. Especially the tasting menus they offer Fridays and Saturdays. Sometimes they are excellent, sometimes very good - but they never let me down. I have eaten French, Italian, Asian and Indian meals here - all very well prepared. This summer I asked the restaurant to set a surprise menu for eight people - and they did - six courses with passion. Ingredients with high quality, like lobster and foie gras, excellent tenderloin and a superb dessert. Los Laureles hasn't the largest wine menu in the area, but they have chosen a very good variety of Andalucían (there are some very good ones), paired with a good selection of wine from other regions. Unfortunately many restaurants in Almunecar have mostly low or medium quality wines on their list. Cred. to Los Laureles for their ability to find wines that pair the courses very good and at the same time are very price worthy.
