Restaurante Chiringuito La Sardina — Restaurant in Almuñécar

We have been coming to Sardina for over 30 years and we returned this summer for the first time post Covid to celebrate my sister’s 50th. I had booked a table in January for 13 of us.

They also didn't have half of the menu available, so was a shame we weren't able to sample everything we wanted to. On the upside, it's a beautiful location - would...

We tried to go to this restaurant, to the open terrace at 9:30 PM on a Friday night and they told us that they’re closed although there’s people still inside and they’re cooking on the kitchen; when we asked them again because the time on the Internet and on their front door says they close at 11:30 then they told us they don’t like animals (we had a dog and it says dogs allowed on their google description) even in the terrace and they don’t like foreigners so avoid this place because they are bad...
