    La Escollera - Tasty Grilled Prawns

    Really, these people have sacrificed decor for no-frills eating. But service was great with…read morebountiful AND spectacular seafood alongside the beach and Estepona's Port on the other. No Paella here. La Escollera is strictly seafood from what I saw. Because of Escollera's popularity with tourists AND locals alike, it gets busy so have a few things in mind: (1) give your name+last name to the host inside (2) if you can grab a high-top outside, go for it and get a Starter bite while you wait, (3) someone will yell out your last name, then (4) you're in. Attention from all the servers is definitely here and each offered individual tid-bit on what we ordered. Dozen oysters (or "12 pieces") were meaty and juicy with the right amount of oyster liquor. What's more, I know the oysters hubs and I have been getting on the East Coast in the States are good- but these here in Spain's Southern Coast are mind-blowing. Horseradish and mignonette? They're obsolete in these parts. You will get Tabasco as an alternate (for hubs) and some individually-packaged red wine. It did just fine. Prawns were good but the Sardines were excellent with a slightly crunchy-garlicky exterior. The oysters took it a bit over from what we've experienced during our stay. But come to think of it, comparing the quality and straight-from-the-sea catch to the East Coast, they were worth the €54. Skip the juicy-flavored sangria and go for a red or white instead. In essence, it's all about the seafood here.

    Best seafood I've ever had!!…read more We arrived mid afternoon and the place was crowded. We put our name on the list but ended up just getting a bar table outside (which has service anyway). We ordered a lot of small plates and everything was fresh, perfectly cooked, and well seasoned. While we usually prefer sautéed seafood, the fried squid was exceptional. Don't miss out on this spot! Right by the water, beautiful view.

    One thing I love about the restaurant scene in Marbella is their proliferation of small bars and…read moretapas places where the locals meet, eat, drink, chat and watch football. I was heading over to an old favourite from my last trip, el Asturiano for lunch but they were running on 'Spanish time' and not open yet I therefore wandered across the road to look at the menu on El Rincon de Cynthia. The ceviche had just caught my eye when Cynthia popped out to set up. As I studied the menu, Vittorio the chef appeared to explain that the menu was largely Peruvian in inspiration with some Spanish/Italian tapas small dishes making up the balance of the menu. I never turn down a chance to try out a new cuisine and where better to try Peruvian food than in a tapas bar in Marbella, Spain under the patronage of an Peruvian/Italian couple? As it turned out, Cynthia and Vittorio had moved over from Croydon in London and we had a good chat. What really convinced me to eat here was their obvious love for the food of Peru and their commitment to spread the gospel of Peruvian food. Good food is imbued with love from the chef and it's obvious that Vittorio loves his cooking When I had sat down, he came over to discuss what to cook me. He recommended the seafood ceviche but said he would do a half portion so that I could try other dishes. I went with all his recommendations - with his knowledge and passion for Peruvian food, I knew I was in good hands First to arrive was a dish announced as potato salad but it was like no potato salad I've ever eaten. The dish was served cold and consisted of 2 thick potato slices sandwiching a mixture of creamy, spicy chicken filling. The potato was wonderfully light and fluffy and the neutral flavour offset the wonderful chicken Next to arrive was chicharron - pork belly which had been slow cooked for hours and then sliced into thin slices and seared at the last minute. Vittorio said that like the Chinese, South Americans had appreciated the full flavour of pork belly long before austerity measures have forced European chefs to use cheaper cuts. The pork belly was soft with the rendered fat lending moistness and flavour to the meat The pork belly arrived with cassava chips and peanuts, which I think had been deep fried. Then, the piece de resistance - the seafood ceviche. The balance in ceviche is hard to get perfect - enough lime to 'cook' the seafood without over-dominating the overall balance of the dish. Despite the half portion size, there was a generous amount of squid, prawns and octopus. This was a most enjoyable dish It was also obvious from the interaction with regulars that Cynthia treats her customers like friends. I certainly felt most welcome and at home over my yummy lunch Although I'm a huge fan of Paddington Bear, I'm glad that he and his marmalade sandwiches weren't the only export from Peru!

    Really nice couple own this spot. The wife, Cynthia is the Host, and Vittorio is in the kitchen…read more Delicious authentic peruvian joint in Marbella, close to the beach. Many italian dishes as well to the typical peruvian dishes as well (there are a lot of italian immigrants in peru)
