When the phrase "hidden gem" was born, they definitely had Santiago's Kitchen in mind, just wow…read more.. Nestled on a quaint street in the middle of Alhaurin el Grande, you could easily walk past without realising it's even there. Step inside however, down some stairs and you walk into a beautiful courtyard, the sky filled with leaves and twinkly fairy lights giving off a wonderful warmth and cosy feel. The menu is varied with something for everyone, mostly gluten free too. I'd say it's definitely on the pricier end of the scale when compared to other local eateries though. After much deliberation I settled on the fig and goats cheese tart to start (€7). Oh my days I could've eaten the whole tart! The fig coulis accompanying it was scrummy and the pesto (which I initially had my reservations about), complimented the flavours of the tart really well. For main, I went all out and ordered the Mediterranean monkfish and king prawns (€19). When in Spain n all! It was just the right sized portion for me and the fish was perfectly cooked. It was served with a nice potato stack, cherry toms and a saffron sauce - deeeelish! So it was our last night...would've been rude not to have dessert right!? And the chocolate baileys ice cream parfait had my name all over it (€6.50)! Served in a cute glass mini-goldfish bowl there were different chocolate textures and honeycomb - what big kid doesn't love honeycomb?! Staff were warm and friendly, a mix of local Spanish speakers and British (it's owned by a British couple). Had such a lovely evening from start to finish, definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in the area.

There is plenty of picnic bench style tables outside with shaded options available (dogs however can only be in one half so make sure you check before getting comfy) so it's ideal for groups and families. It even has a small play area for the wee ones to keep them occupied. The menu has plenty choice, everything from salads (€10ish) to traditional ham and cheese plates (€8ish each) and Spanish tortilla (again about €8) which are great for sharing, to individual meat and fish main plates which are pricier. Service is a bit slow; took easily 10 mins to get menus after sitting down and another 10 to take drinks orders. Not many servers have good English unfortunately so we found ordering a bit tricky; 8 cerveza por favor is our limit ha! The food itself came out quickly however, as and when it was ready and portions were a good size so we left with full and happy bellies!

Albacara was one of the highlights of our visit to Ronda. The restaurant is beautifully situated at…read moreHotel Montelirio, with an extraordinary view overlooking the Tajo gorge and the iconic Puente Nuevo. The setting alone is spectacular, particularly if you are fortunate enough to dine on the terrace, but what makes Albacara truly special is that the food and service live up to the location. From the moment we arrived, the service was excellent. The staff was professional, attentive, friendly, and welcoming without ever being intrusive. There was a genuine sense of hospitality throughout the meal, and the attention to detail made the entire experience feel special. The food was equally good. The dishes were beautifully presented, well prepared, and full of flavor. The menu offers a nice balance of traditional Andalusian influences and more contemporary Mediterranean cuisine, with quality ingredients and careful preparation. Everything we had was enjoyable, and the meal felt like a true dining experience rather than simply having lunch or dinner at a restaurant. warning ‼: Do not try the bread. You won't be able to stop eating it. And then there is the view. It is difficult to overstate how beautiful the setting is. Sitting above the Tajo gorge with the Puente Nuevo directly in view, surrounded by the dramatic Andalusian landscape, creates an atmosphere that is almost impossible to duplicate. We were told that if you can time your visit around sunset, the experience becomes even more spectacular as the light changes over the mountains and the bridge. What impressed us most was that Albacara is not simply a restaurant that relies on its incredible location. The food, service, atmosphere, and setting all come together to create a memorable experience. For anyone visiting Ronda, I would highly recommend making a reservation at Albacara and requesting a table with a view, especially on the terrace. It is the kind of place where you want to slow down, enjoy the meal, have a glass of wine, and simply take in the scenery. Albacara is definitely worth visiting.

Smaller, cozy full of character Bar area and the whole place is filled with bottles. 5 tables outside but for me inside was much more interesting. I ordered a Verdejo and my Server brought out a complimentary tomato Tapa and Salami. Tomatoes were super fresh and slightly salted-delicious! Everything on the menu looked good! I ordered the Sturgeon, Foie Gras and White Sausage. The Sturgeon was exquisite with the tomatoes and peppers pairing perfectly! Should have taken the big order. Foie Gras and white sausage (mild) were simple, tasty and didn't disappoint. My Server was friendly and worked to bring out the dishes as they were ready given my time crunch. About an 8 minute walk from the city center and well worth it. Make the stop for some high quality/reasonably priced Tapas and Wine in a unique space.
