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.

Arroyo Hondo is situated in Casares, up in the mountains. The road up from the coast way (AP7) is…read morewindling, but it is so worth it. Arroyo Hondo is owned by a japanese woman and her brittish husband, hence the theme of the food is international with asian, moroccan and european influences. During the hot summer most of the visitors are sitting in the beautiful and lovely garden which reminds a bit about Japan exterior. The waiters are very nice and service-minded. We ordered chicken karage to share as a starter (8.5EUR) which was pleasant. As a main course we ordered Lamb chops, Skirt steak with soba noodles, turbot with baby potatoes and monkfish with citronaisse (mayonaisse with a touch of citrus). Approx. 18-22EUR per dish. The presentation of the dishes was fabulous and all of the tasted good. However the Skirt Steak became everyones favourite! The children ordered 2 margaritas that also looked really tasty (really good that they had options for children as well). As dessert it was really difficult to decide since the menu were full of tempting choices. However we ordered baked lemon cake and pavlova with berries (6.5EUR). Both of them really good as well. Why only 4 star? Arroyo Hondo has become one of my favourites in Costa del Sol. Food with modern touch, divine view up in the mountains, service-minded waiters/waitresses and affordable. However, for the last star I would like even more spices in the food and even more WOW-feeling (now I am comparing with restaurants in general and not only restaurants in Costa del Sol). Go here during your next stay. Eat, relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery high up in the mountains! Pay attention: You need to make a reservation at least 2 days in advance!

Great location and views! The menu is in English, Spanish and German. The speciality is grilled: seafood and from the land. My boyfriend ordered grilled German sausages and I ordered a hamburger. Both were cooked to perfection. He thought his was coming with potato salad, but came with fries instead. Portions were huge. Service was super attentive and friendly. The above with 2x sparkling waters and 2x 0,0 beer was 35€. No service charge or bread was added. I would not chose here for fine dining, but it is a definite for grill/barbecue/beach fare!
