Restaurante los Tres Pepes — Attraction in Marbella

.

Lots of choice to suit everybody.

Los Tres Pepe is a beach bar - a chiringuito - situated on (or rather below) the seafront promenade in Marbella. Your feet are in the sand - it's right on the beach.

The food is freshly cooked, the fish is grilled in front of you on the sand. But if you are a large-ish party, with children and teenagers all wanting different things, the big advantage of this place is that it has the traditional Andalucian things - grilled sardines, gazpacho, roast red pepper salad - but also practically anything else your awkward family members would ask for!

We had a vegetarian (goat's cheese, walnut and lettuce salad), a fish lover (grilled sardines) a fussy teenager (grilled chicken) two hungry teenagers (pizza and pasta) and someone who didn't want anything Spanish (burger and chips). The rest of us had grilled sea-bass and prawns. Oh and spicy garlic prawns.

A little more pricey perhaps than on Torremolinos beachfront, but this is...

The location is amazing. The first two times the staff was really nice and helpful with my gluten free diet (celiac disease). I really liked my meal and the small ice cream you get when receiving the bill. However, the third time (which was our last evening there) I guess they did not felt the need to be as helpful as we would come back anyway. Instead of the special made fries, I got some microwave rice which was disgusting. The same man was taking the order and he remembered me so this was very disapointing. Also, the bread that should come before your dish, came at the same time of our dish! This did not happen the other times. And finally, we did not get the small ice cream in the end! We really got the feeling that our table was not...

We had a lovely time at Los Tres Pepes. We sat in the beach beds and had a great time enjoying the beach and the food. We had coffees and little snacks - we were there quite early around 11 and stayed for 2-3 hours. The staff is great: friendly, professional and very welcoming. The food was good - but again, we didn't get meals so I can't my opinion about the actual menu.

I love the vibe of the place. I recommend it.

Parking-wise, we always park the the Indigo underground parking below the sculptures exhibition. It keeps the car cool and safe, it's a walking distance from everything on the promenade and the prices are...
