Editors Comment

EL Rey is quite a new restaurant in Estepona. It’s part of the same group as Casa Del Rey which has been in the town for many years and has a good reputation.

I’ve visited El Rey a few times and my experiences have been very good.

The service is friendly and efficient and the food is good. When you read the menu it’s hard to choose what to have as it all looks so tasty. One of the main problems is you’ll order too much.

They have a selection of beers on tap too, which is nice as it’s not something you see much in Estepona.

The one slight downside is that it is quite expensive, but this is to be expected due it’s location and style.

A very nice gastro bar. Certainly worth a visit!

Unfortunately, I am very dissatisfied, mainly with the service – very pretentious and treated me badly. They added things that we didn’t order

Extraordinary tavern where you can enjoy portions to share. They placed eight of us at a round table where we were great. They brought us a dessert with a candle for one of our birthdays and the waitresses sang to us. Extraordinary service. They invited us to dessert. We returned the second bottle of wine because we didn’t like it and it didn’t add to the bill either. Very good details.

The waiter was far too busy with his personal text messages v while we waited for service . Portions small and highly priced .

Wir waren nur für Drinks dort, und der Service war in Ordnung, aber ein bisschen mehr Freundlichkeit wäre wünschenswert gewesen. Die Drinks waren gut und schön präsentiert. Das Lokal ist modern eingerichtet, was eine angenehme Atmosphäre schafft. Besonders schön ist der Blick aufs Meer, oder alternativ kann man auf der windstillen Seite in der Gasse sitzen, was sehr gemütlich ist.
