“ Very nice place with really friendly staff. Has a special menu for non-gluten food. I can fully recommend it! ”
“ If you’re looking for white tablecloths, whispering waiters, and a sommelier who says things like “notes of leather,” keep scrolling. La Relojera is the opposite, and it’s glorious. This is Andalusian dining at its most authentic: incredible food, zero pretence, and service that feels like a friendly kitchen fire drill. The staff? Absolute legends. Weathered, efficient, and running the floor like a Formula 1 pit crew, slightly chaotic, somehow surgical. You won’t get pampered, but you will get fed very well, very fast, and probably with a smile shouted across the room. They don’t take reservations. Instead, turn up, hover nervously near someone else’s table, get subtly sized up by a waiter, and if the stars align, you’re in. It’s all part of the charm. Once you’re seated, go straight for the espetos.. smoky, salty perfection, and the grilled squid, which tastes like the sea gave you a hug. These two dishes alone are worth elbowing your way in. La Relojera isn’t fancy, it’s real, and it’s run by people who clearly know exactly what they’re doing, even if it looks like a tapas tornado. If you like your food phenomenal and your experiences a little wild, this place will win you over fast. ”
“ Lovely meal. Shred grilled sardines to start. I then had a sirloin while my wife had pork tenderloin both were nicely cooked. Service was friendly, prices were good. Would go again. ”
“ Love this authentic Spqnish restaurant. Ideal for lunch near the cable port, so it's a slightly quieter location but still always busy. We shared the Malaga fried fish for 2. So much we had to ask for a takeaway. Check the pic to see the variety. ”
“ I loved it! We might come back before leaving Marbella. The staff is amazing and welcoming. Come for the sunset! You will see incredible views! ”
