LOBITO DE MAR Michelin Plate IIO This beachless chiringuito on the N-340, on the outskirts of Marbella, is less expensive than Dani García's other ventures; nevertheless, it still offers superb quality. It's a very hip, modern and inviting restaurant with a vibrant atmosphere. On arrival, the fish in the display cabinet looked very fresh. I liked that they have made space for a tapas chillout section. We had a few tapas to start. Tapa gazpacho. Tapa gambas blanco (whit

RESTAURANT CAÑABOTA One Michelin Star Recently awarded one Michelin Star in the 2022 Michelin Guide, it is only Sevilla's second. If you are looking for fish, this is the place to go to in Sevilla. This is a restaurant specialising in fish and seafood, offering both the informal ambience of a tapas bar and the bright appeal of an open-view sushi bar. The superb display cabinet of fish and its charcoal grill are the star attractions. We returned to the restaurant in October

EMBER YARD During a visit in September 2021, the food was not as good as in previous visits, and in a couple of cases, it was even poor, which was disappointing. In 2025, Chef Ricardo Sapimental updated the menu, and we believe it is now back to its best, although we haven't been there again yet. This review is from 2019 Located in the ever-busy Soho, Ember Yard serves up excellent Spanish / Italian tapas cooked over Basque charcoal grill (embers, get it?) from the people beh

RESTAURANTE TRICICLO Michelin Bib Gourmand The restaurant's name fits like a glove, as the "tricycle" is a very accurate metaphor for the three young chefs running the show here. One worked in the original DiverXO restaurant in the Madrid district of Tetuán; one was always a chef, and the other was a cyclist and poet. The simple décor combines the height of rusticity with an endearing bistro charm. This simplicity is offset by a high degree of culinary expertise, showcas

RESTAURANTE EL CHAMO On our arrival at Tenerife South Airport, we picked up our hire car and headed to the sleepy town of La Escalona for lunch at Restaurante El Chamo, our first meal on the Island this trip.
