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!

Celebramos la comida de Navidad del gimnasio en Bulla (Estepona) y la experiencia fue excelente de principio a fin. El restaurante tiene una decoración muy bonita, elegante y selecta, creando un ambiente acogedor y especial para una ocasión así.

La atención fue magnífica, muy profesional y cercana en todo momento, y la comida estaba toda deliciosa, con platos bien elaborados y de gran calidad.

Queremos destacar especialmente la atención personalizada de la camarera Rocío, cuyo trato fue excepcional: amable, atenta y muy profesional, haciendo que nos sintiéramos cuidados durante toda la comida.

Sin duda, un lugar muy recomendable tanto para celebraciones como para disfrutar de una comida especial. Repetiremos.

La Bulla Gastrobar is an excellent restaurant. The food is not just extremely tasty; it’s made creatively as well. From the salads to the main dishes, our taste buds were tingling with joy!
We had Rocio serve us, and her advice on our choices was excellent. We’ve been going to La Bulla for a long time now, and it gets better every time we return! Thank you, Rocio! Thank you, La Bulla Gastrobar!

Best restaurant in Estepona. Great for lovers of prickly pear. A twist on the normal conventional menu. Interesting starters. Original.

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…).
