We ate here on November 4, 2025, and definitely won’t be back!!
Service is terrible!!
They hadn’t even finished their appetizer yet, and they were already at the table with the fish from the main course!!
The fish had little flavor and wasn’t tasty.
They want as many customers as possible in one evening here!!
A truly awful restaurant.

Reservamos el dia anterior para cuatro, cuando llegamos no estaba ni mucho menos lleno y nos pusieron en el rincón de la vinoteca con un calor excesivo para almorzar, nos dijeron que no funcionaba el AA. PUES NO SENTAR A NADIE EN ESA ZONA. No nos dieron solución, nos pusieron el vino que quisieron, por cierto bueno pero no el que pedimos y a la hora de pedir postres y algún combinado al no solucionarlos el tema del calor nos tuvimos que marchar sudando. Una auténtica pena. La mayoría de los clientes no estarían mal puesto que en las demás mesas daba el aire.

Truly wonderful! Delicious food in one of the best areas of Estepona’s seafront. It’s a real treat to enjoy a good grilled red mullet, a delicious paella, or a meat option; any dish is a safe bet. We’ll definitely be back.

The Food

The food at El Pescador is generally good.

However on some occasions I have been a little disappointed with the quality.

If you like fish and seafood by the sea then El Pescador is a great choice.

Large SeaFood Menu
Great Gambas Pil Pil
Paella is very popular here
Try the Octopus if you’re feeling adventurous

The menu is mostly fish but you will find some meat and vegetarian choices.

The Location

El Pescador is situated right down on the seafront.

If you sit outside you can enjoy views on the beach and the sea as well as soaking up the atmosphere of people strolling the paseo.

Views of the beach and the sea
Lots of outside tables
Very easy to find

In summer you will need to reserve a table. During the winter El Pescador is a good choice as they have plenty of inside tables.
