We arrived for a late dinner with no reservation and the place was quiet and classy. Waiters gave…read moreexcellent service. All four of us were blown away by the quality and amazing taste of the food. I had the "7 carnivores" tasting menu, which was more than enough for my parents and girlfriend to have tastes of each round. The total for four people including a bottle of wine was under 150 euros. Second best meal that my father has ever had, but the best value by far. Best meal my girlfriend and I have ever had. We will be coming back at least one more time while we are in town!

It was a rainy evening when we went to Escarpio. From the main area in Benalmadena it is a winding…read moreroad leading to the hotel La Fonda where Escarpio is located. Not a good drive on a dark rainy night. We had reservations and even although the restaurant was 1/2 empty we were given a seat near the back of the restaurant and were unable to enjoy the lights of the town and the view. The service was very slow and somewhat indifferent. We were served but there was no attempt to establish any connection with us other than to take our order and bring the food out. I had the ox tail with mashed potatoes and it was very good. The rest of the meal was okay but not memorable. It is unlikely that we would return. For the prices charged I was hoping for a more memorable evening out.

The 4 of us split a seafood paella for 2 people, fried cod, grilled octopus, salad and had wine and sangria. The meal was delicious and service attentive. I highly recommend for the fresh seafood and the fact that it's tucked away from the touristy spots.

But why did I get such a rubbishy frozen steak, no grilled but cooked in its frozen water and served greenish grey on my plate ? I ask for a good piece of meat and grilled "medium red", not a thin blue/green/gray, boiled one and certainly not after that other rubbishy tomato/olive "kind of paste pressed in a form" as an entry (like if it was haute-quisine) ??

This is a great supermarket on the marina. It sells all the usual food products ( I would say they…read moreare not that cheap though). It is a fairly large shop, but only about two thirds of it is for food. It also sells gifts, dvds, games and games consoles. You will find the games consoles work out a bit cheaper than in England. (This was last year, now the exchange rate is not so good, you may not make any savings). The only problem is you need to buy a plug adapter when back in England for charging. It isn't too far from the road. And opposite there is a fair amount of parking. During high season you have to pay for this though.

The best part of the meal was the vegetable tempura, which was crunchy and well cooked! All of the food was delicious on the scale of a decent Japanese restaurant. The wait staff was also very accommodating although we arrived late.
