La Despensa del Mar — Restaurant in Benalmádena

Have past this quaint passage way many a time, and it's often very busy in the afternoon, therefore finally resisted to try!.. We were not disappointed, table full of fresh fish plates, from paella to grilled/BBQ fish.. We weren't hungry enough to go for a paella, so opted for the mixed fish/sardines and octopus russian salad... Plus a chicken scewer just in case daughter didn't enjoy the fish!.. pleasant service in a atmospheric setting, obviously frequented by the locals.. we thoroughly enjoyed the food, and will be certain to...

Absolutely beautiful little place, hidden from the main street, yet not too quiet. Looks very rustic, yet doesn't feel old and worn out. Very nice decor - their plates are handmade! The service is wonderful. And the food is just amazing. The best mixed paella we've had in Spain - the meat was beef or lamb, so tender! The octopus Russian salad has already been talked about a lot, we can't add. Also, incredibly reasonable prices....

Located in an arcade just off the main street, this is a regular lunch/dining spot for the locals. We come often throughout the year and are always well received and served. Fresh sea food and surprisingly good steaks. Our highlight is the "broken eggs and Serrano ham" but that's a question of taste. A complete and varied menu with many specials. Definitely...
