This was one of our favorite meals on our 10-day Spanish and Portuguese road trips!…read more We had the following: - FRIED MARINATED SEA BASS, LETTUCE, PICO DE GALLO AND ADOBO MAYONNAISE - FRIED SQUID SANDWICH W. ALIOLI AND SPICY SAUCE - RAF TOMATO W. CANNED TUNA BELLY AND ONION - GRILLED ARTICHOKES W. SHERRY WINE REDUCTION, EGG YOLK AND PORK JOWL Everything was absolutely delicious - our favorite was the marinated sea bass. It came with lettuce leaves perfect for making a taco. The tomato salad was also delicious and I loved the tuna in it - the only non-perfect part of the meal was that there was a sticker on one of the tomatoes - ha! (And also they forgot one of our dishes and it came out at the very end after we had to remind them but no biggie). The service was also very nice - I was trying to practice my spanish and our server was very patient and kind. Loved this restaurant so much!

It was also made clear that it was 45 Euro per person. With that said, we had the most amazing meal. I feel like I won't eat for a week. First up was toast with tomato relish and the BEST olive oil. Delicious. Followed by asparagus with parmesan. The salad was pumpkin with burrata and greens (I think my favorite), a white fish with roasted veggies, steak with spicy potatoes, and then poached pear in white chocolate for dessert. We have been in South Spain for six weeks and this is our most memorable meal to date. We highly highly recommend.... oh, and we came home with a bottle of wine. Delicious

We entered the restaurant and were greeted by a server who informed us that there was no printed…read moremenu. She explained that the meal was a prix-fixe style, although she didn't use that term. We were initially led to believe it was a daily pre-set menu. The server showed us the evening's offerings (pointing to a refrigerated display case with red meat, fish, and vegetables), which she said was 45 for meat and 30 (or 35) for fish, including appetizers, vegetables, and dessert of the day. Drinks were not included. When we asked for a wine list, we were told there wasn't one, and that they would choose the wine for us instead. We would have ordered another glass, but we had no idea about the price. The server inquired about any allergies, and I mentioned that while I wasn't allergic to anything, I didn't eat red meat. Despite not selecting the dishes, the following were brought to us: Appetizers Main course -- she brought red meat for both of us, but I declined since it was made for two Fish Dessert In the end, we were charged for each item individually, and our bill came to 145 Euros. While the food was good and the server was friendly, we felt we were misled and taken advantage of. If they are going to charge separately for each item, customers should at least have the option to choose what they want to order.

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.

Guillermo Lorenzo is a small-scale worker of miracles…read more Guillermo is the chef and proprietor at De Locos Tapas, and what he does at this tiny spot is difficult to believe until you experience it. He is the owner, chef, front-of-the-house guy, and server, all at the same time. How a guy who wears so many hats manages to conceive of and produce such a large variety of small-scale gourmet items at prices this low is beyond me. Our first encounter with Mr. Lorenzo actually wasn't too great. I'd earlier attempted to reserve a table through De Locos's website, but never received a response (we were in Spain without phone service, so I couldn't call ahead, and we'd just arrived at our hotel). So we trekked over to the restaurant without a reservation and waited around for the place to open at 7:30 pm in order to try our luck. When we walked in and explained our situation, Mr. Lorenzo frankly was not very friendly or welcoming, even though no other diners were present at the time. But he led us upstairs to a table nonetheless, explaining that he would need our table by 9:30. As soon as we were seated, though, the rather surly version of Mr. Lorenzo switched off like a light, and the excellent, gregarious impresario version of Mr. Lorenzo switched on. What happened over the next couple of hours was just about the best dining experiences we'd ever had at prices this low. He brought us plate after plate of wonderfully composed and almost uniformly delicious, mostly non-traditional tapas, which we ordered off of a handwritten-in-English menu (see the attached photos). While simultaneously perfectly pacing everything and playing the consummate cosmopolitan, hospitable, charming restaurant host. (A native of Bilbao with a globe-trotting resume and excellent English, he told us former New Orleans residents that his grandmother was born in New Orleans.) I've attached photos of the menu from that night, and, frankly, at this late date, I can't remember everything we had. But the ox cheeks, lamb tagine, smoked duck, oyster Bloody Mary, seabass ceviche, and red tuna tataki stood out. Everything was terrific, though, with the possible exception of the piquillo pepper stuffed with crab, which was just kind of mushy. We're not the biggest dessert eaters, but the Bailey's ice cream was terrific as well. All of this beautiful stuff, plus a couple of drinks each, set us back less than 40 euro, which just seems like an impossibly good deal. P.S. De Locos isn't all that easy to find if you're staying in the main, touristy part of Ronda. You've got to head south down the main road from the old town toward the Barrio San Francisco. Just before the road bends right as you're looking at the rather imposing Iglesia del Espiritu Santo, drop down the "ramp" on the left to the Calle Espiritu Santo, which leads to a little triangular square just inside the wall. When you get to the square, hang a left. De Locos is a the end of the row of buildings, facing the wall and square. (We went on All Saints Day, missed the "ramp," and ended up in the big square in San Francisco, where masses of locals were assembled for festivities. That got us totally turned around...)

Google had the closest to their exact physical address, which is A-397, KM.10, 29451 Parauta, Málaga. Venta La Laja is a restaurant located in the municipality of Parauta, very close to the Sierra de las Nieves park, and 10 minutes from Ronda. It is up in the mountains, along a CRAZY highway, that winds through mountainsides, with amazing views, but with drivers who speed at insane rates, passing one another (sometimes passing two, three cars at a time), with no abandon. If you make it there safely, this is a quaint, authentic Spanish roadhouse / family restaurant. The decor is very traditional hacienda-ish, with old crockery, wood carvings, painted tiles, exposed beams, and some very cool folk art paintings. They serve traditional food of the region for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We arrived around 5pm, which is about 3 hours before dinnertime in Spain, but they very kindly accommodated us with a gorgeous sandwich of jamon and goat cheese. Had we caught them for dinner, we'd have been able to try their specialties; lamb and goat meats, caldosos rice, or caldereta de chivo malagueño (baby goat stew). They also advertise aged sheep cheeses and homemade desserts. There is indoor and outdoor seating. In the off-season when we visited, indoor seating was a must, as it gets cold on a mountaintop when the sun begins to set. I would have loved to sit outside had the weather permitted it. The views of the nearby Sierra de las Nieves park, were amazing, and there is a goat farm directly across the street, which was very cool to observe. Their indoor dining room can seat up to 100, so they host parties and events. They are also open every day of the year. There is a large dirt parking lot out front, just off of the road. All in all a very cool stop for tasty food, and a surreal view of the mountains.
