 Very pleasant Irish coupe run this small family restaurant. The restaurant is attractive although not too far from the road. Staff are pleasant and welcoming although the food (freshly prepared) can take quite a while to arrive. We had a burger, generous and tasting of meat, chips home made and not soggy......good value at 11 euros. A grilled chicken with salad, nice but bland and a generous ceaser salad with great dressing. To start with had chilli squid, delicious but a little small. A great great chocolate brownie to finish 3 water with gas and 2 coffees......we thought  good value at 50 euros .... We recommend Ice Bar

 The Trocadero Restaurant situated on the old Nikki Beach site is an absolute delight. It is decorated much like an african safari camp with lots of interesting bric a brac and foto s . Tabes are mostly on the beach and not too close together. Easy to book and the waiters are polite and mostly relaxed. Menu is not huge but really diverse and interesting. We had a veggie noodle dish....generous and delicious. A spicy chicken and noodle dish and a spicy seafood pasta. We started with croqettes........superb. We had 2 chocolate brownies with ice cream that our teenage daughters rated 10/10. 2 bottles of water, 2 coffees. bill not quite 100.00 euros. A very proffesional outfit that try hard to please

 Eat with my wife and daughter at los canos last night, an attractive beach restaurant near marbella. first thing i noticed is that the staff looked tired and sweaty. Freddy the owner work by the till and smokes non stop. Clearly has his own agenda about smoking indoors. His wife wanders arroung looking unkempt and chewing gum quite loudly. My wife had rosada as a main @14 euros. It came with a small salad. 3 small pieces of rosada but tasty. Acceptable! My daughter and I had chicken and chips ......asked for it well cooked. totally awful. Chicken so undercooked it looked like it might walk off the plate. sent it back 3 times but nothing changed. No apology, no offer to supply something else. No shame. They even tried to charge. I paid for the rosada and walked.
