The view from one side over the bay of La Herradura; The view from the other side, over miles of unspoilt coastline with great beaches and an amazing sunset; The ambience of the place - tranquil and scenic; First class service, coupled with top quality food - classic dishes using traditional Spanish ingredients and a blend of something different - e.g. Prime Spanish entrecote steak with a 'Diane' sauce of shallots, mushrooms and white wine, finished with cream and mustard and served with proper chips. If you are in the Costa Tropical area, you simply have to go there.

We went here for lunch. The restaurant is close to the beach, and has some sea view. Inside it´s…read morerather old looking, not fancy - more traditional. The food is ok, but this is a place for older Scandinavian people. In Almunecar is rare to find a Swedish/Danish speaking waiters/owner. We had several courses. The free appetizer was cocked potatoes with dill mayonnaises .The chicken salad was the best one, but the Chinese cabbage was a bit 80´s to us. I had clams, with a sauce of amongst others garlic and dill. At least 1/3 was not opened, so the starter was quite small. The main course, turbot, was very ordinary and the vegetables close to boring: cocked peas, carrots cauliflower and cooked potato with, yes dill. When you can eat great fish at Lute y Jesus almost next door and fantastic meat at Los Geranios some 100 meter from Sabina, there are no reasons to stop at the restaurant, if you´re not Scandinavian speaking and like a native tongue conversation.

She personally comes out to explain the menu to you. They have a fantastic "menu del dia", menu of the day that consists of an appetizer, entree and dessert for 9.95 Euros. Grab a seat outside with a view of the beach and enjoy your utterly fresh fish. The sole was fantastic, grilled to perfection and very fresh. The mackerel was also very good if you like mackerel. It's a saltier more fleshy fish thant the sole. I also had the cod, but I preferred the sole more. All of the fish preparations are very simple so you can really taste the fish that you are eating. Also order the Gambas Pil Pil appetizer to share. The shrimps stewed in garlic and tomato is very flavorful and you must order the bread to eat with this otherwise it will be unbearably salty. As a side note, beware of jellyfish on the beach, they will sting!

Five star standard for food, service and the setting. This was great value for money…read more Brendan from Ireland.

I have visited more than 30 restaurants in Almunecar the last two years, but I return to Los…read moreLaureles again and again. They have, compared to most of the restaurants in the area, the ability to renew themselves and the menu. Especially the tasting menus they offer Fridays and Saturdays. Sometimes they are excellent, sometimes very good - but they never let me down. I have eaten French, Italian, Asian and Indian meals here - all very well prepared. This summer I asked the restaurant to set a surprise menu for eight people - and they did - six courses with passion. Ingredients with high quality, like lobster and foie gras, excellent tenderloin and a superb dessert. Los Laureles hasn't the largest wine menu in the area, but they have chosen a very good variety of Andalucían (there are some very good ones), paired with a good selection of wine from other regions. Unfortunately many restaurants in Almunecar have mostly low or medium quality wines on their list. Cred. to Los Laureles for their ability to find wines that pair the courses very good and at the same time are very price worthy. Compared with the other restaurants in the town, this is a five star restaurants. 10 minutes walk from the tourist traps and you are trapped in the best restaurant in town - and like to stay...

Deep fried with pork and vegetables with a nice dipping sauce. Very tasty. My main course was the sizzling king prawns in spicy sauce. Not spicy at all, but flavorful. I wish these places would peel the prawns, but it is part of the presentation. The reason they lost a star was the espresso, it was Nescafé instant. With so many places here grinding fresh coffee beans, that was a disappointment. Otherwise a nice place to eat.

We ordered the tomato with anchovies, patatas bravas, grilled sea bass, Iberian table (ham, chorizeo, sausage and cheese platter), and green peppers. I was super bummed that they ran out of the Anchovies in Vinegar (the one thing I truly wanted), but still, everything we ordered was pretty good. Caution: the at least 50% of the green peppers were very spicy, but I still ate them cuz it was tasty, despite the heat. The patatas bravas was average, but it helped with the spice from the peppers lol. Tomato with anchovies were amazing, with the olive oil and salt drizzled all over. The sea bass was fresh and hit the spot for my husband, who was craving some fresh fish. Lastly, the Iberian table/platter was perfect, and my fave was the Iberian ham, so oily but the flavor of it was so good. We also ordered beer and sangria - you always gotta get the sangria in Spain, at least I do. Try this place for the staple Spanish tapas, and for great customer service. You'll see a lot of locals and tourists here, which I think is a good sign.
