La Bulla Gastrobar is a regular morning spot for me. Good coffee, delicious breakfasts and good coffee! In the evenings it’s always got a good vibe and it’s always busy.

The food is good, especially the Tapas, which often have a unique twist on Andalucian classics.

On top of the amazing food, the staff at La Bulla are fantastic. They’re always friendly and attentive, even when the place is packed (which seems to be most nights!).

Highly Recommended!

Lekker de lunch ‘genoten’ zoals dat heet in onvervalst Neerlandisch, leuke bediening en, F1 op het terras op een tablet gekeken, we kregen geen commentaar dus het mocht☺️ Zowel de race als de tapas gerechtjes had ik niet willen missen. Benieuwd wat ze met het diner serveren, misschien de volgende keer.

It was exquisite, with combinations we’d never had before. The service was excellent.
We sat on the square side, which is highly recommended in the evening. A fantastic experience!

One of the best in Estepona. The food was perfectly prepared and cooked to perfection. The tuna is a highlight. The wine list is very well chosen and carefully considered; perhaps I missed some Ribeira Sacra and Ribeiro wines. The worst thing for me (I imagine it was just a one-off that day) was the loud conversations at a couple of tables. In short, a place I highly recommend and where you can enjoy a good lunch or dinner.

The Location

La Bulla is in the wonderful Plaza Ortiz.

It’s on the beach side, so not only can you enjoy the beautiful square with its fountain, but you also get views of the beach, the Mediterranean, and Africa (on a clear day).

If it’s raining, there is some cozy inside space.

Have been to this place many times love the food and the atmosphere, only 2 negatives difficult for disabled persons to use the bathroom and when you have ordered your food it takes a long time to order wine so be sure to do both at same time.

I was at La Bulla two nights ago. The staff were great, and very attentive. I agree regarding unique twists on Andalusian classics, we had tapas including patatas bravas with whole new potatoes topped is sauce and deconstructed tortilla in a glass, but the standout was chicken curry empanadas. Really everything was great, and the outdoor atmosphere was incredible. Can’t wait to live here full time!

Almost always a slam dunk for treat night. The food is inventive and generally delicious – tasty modern twists on classic tapas. The staff are very entertaining (another way of saying very professional). The location and atmosphere are a guaranteed feel-good factor.
Have taken some friends from Marbs who have very high expectations and they loved it (they were a bit gob-smacked to find this in quaint little Este, TBH…).
