Editors Comment

I visited Bardo just one week after they had opened and I think they were still getting used to everything.

The food was a mixed selection. We ordered tapas.

The fries were very garlicky, but in hindsight, the menu did say “A la provenzal”, which I now know means “with garlic and parsley”.

The Empanadas where ok, but a little salty and the Croquette was a bit bland.

The artichoke was delicious.

Apart from the food, I did enjoy my time at Bardo. The service was very helpful and friendly.

Bardo is in a beautiful location in Estepona Old Town, a great place to spend some time.

Check out the video for the full review.

A lovely place to sit and spend time.

What we like

  • Lovely Old Town Location
  • Very friendly and welcoming service
  • The Artichoke

What we don’t like

  • Food hit and miss
  • Quite expensive
  • €4 for a beer

Super schöner Tapas Laden.
Nebenan auch als Restaurant, Speisen können bei beiden gleichermaßen bestellt werden.
Super nette Bedienung, deutsch, englisch, spanisch sprachig.
Jeder Service Mitarbeiter hatte gute Laune.
Einer wohnt scheinbar direkt gegenüber, Frau und Kinder kamen zwischendurch rüber – wirkt sehr familiär und dadurch engagiert alles.
Die Speisen stechen qualitativ und von der Komposition heraus, was ganz besonderes.
Zum Beispiel Ochsenschwanz Kroketten mit Knochenmark.

Preislich für die Qualität sehr gut, beispielsweise ein Glas Wein 4€, Flasche Wasser 3€.

Wir werden donnerstags zur Flamenco Nacht wieder kommen.

The food is good, but relatively expensive. Please note: Not only will the bill add €2 per person for the bread, but there’s also a 10% tax and an additional 10% service charge (not including tip). We would have given the food and location 4 stars, but due to the unusual markups, we’re only giving it 2 stars

The Food

At Bardo de La Botica, you’ll find a selection of Argentinian-inspired style Tapas

The grilled artichoke is really good!

  • Quite Expensive
  • Argentinian x Mediterranean
  • Very well presented
  • Good service

I have to be honest and say the food wasn’t all that great. I only tried a few tapas, however.

The Location

Bardo is a wonderful location in Estepona Old Town.

There are lots of tables outside and it’s situated near the church in a quieter area of the old town.

  • Great location in the old town
  • Lots of outside tables
  • Very easy to find

They are open at 6pm Wednesday to Sunday.

Expect it to be busy at the weekend.

    I’ve been in Estepona/Spain for 14 years and still don’t understand this insistance on the part of owners – and even non-owners – of never, under any circumstances, letting prospective patrons know… EXACTLY WHERE YOUR BUSINESS IS LOCATED. Example: just puruse the “Local” quarterly. I used to tell myself, ‘I’m from N America where ALL business owners advertise – first, the name of the business, second, THE FREAKIN’ ADDRESS and TELEPHONE NUMBER and EMAIL ADDRESS, and third, what their business offers. I thought, I’m missing something, and – like everything else in N America – this way-of-doing-business must have some horrible flaw that I, being a bear of very little brain, just never figured out. Turns out… nope. They got something right for once in N Am… bc this coy, cryptic, weak way of promoting one’s business here has no justification. —– All that said, this is my ONLY gripe. I follow your Posts religiously, Alex. But, dude ….. really. I’ve gotta wonder why???

    Bardo Estepona is first class in every way. Service, atmosphere and the food each time we have eaten there has been exciting and flawless. A great addition to Estepona Town. Flamenco music on Thursdays from 9.00pm, a great night.

    Warmest regards
