TheForkUserNot so much a restaurant but a nice cafe. Booked a table via The Fork, Portabello wasn’t aware , the guy said he hadn’t looked. My husband and I were looking to have an early meal at 6pm before going to a show. The service was swift, had garlic bread with cheese to start, one to share, very nice but neither of us could taste any garlic. For main we had burger with cheese & bacon, was OK but the burger bun was hard and a little burnt around the edges. Don’t think we would visit again as it is quite off putting have someone mopping the floor around your table while you eat. Our server was nice and polite.

TheForkUserWe were pleasantly surprised to arrive through a beautiful golf course, Mijas golf, then entered a driveway to a beautiful hotel!! Hotel Lambraza ( Hyatt hotel) The restaurant had a stunning view of the golf course and the mountains! The food was fantastic - high quality and delicious. Special mention goes to Diego, our very lively and friendly server. He recommended the dishes we ordered and it was so good!

TheForkUserWe had a lovely evening in the plaza listening to a live band. However , we were disappointed by the service from one of the waiters. Having asked for a burger with no sauce and plain, it arrived with a guacamole sauce , egg and bacon. It wouldBe fine but the waiter was defensive and not helpful. Everyone

TheForkUserthe food wasn't accurate at all, they are promoting mexican food but this was not followed at all and completely over priced, the service is ridiculous and at the end they tried to argue about the bill, not even knowing how thefork pay (since we had a voucher) was running even they advertised it was accepted, it took us a discussion to get through the payment, honestly wouldn't recommend this place at all.

TheForkUserCozy small restaurant with many tables in the main square of the village. We were there on a Saturday and we were mixed with local families in a genuine friendly atmosphere. Pizza is very popular but we had meat and it was great. Prices are low (40 EUR in 3 people for the whole meal, with The Fork 30% discount)
