Mesón de Andrés — Restaurant in Fuengirola

More hype than substance. The service is ok, but inconsistent. As an example we got a bottle of wine for the table and only 2 glasses even when 3 people were clearly seated. The blood sausage was dry and bland. The tomato salad was delicious. The potato ham dish had never a seen ham, was bland and to wet.

Bill for 3 people was 160 euros. 3 starters to share, paella for two, and hunters steak, one dessert, one bottle of wine (30 euros)

So we didn't feel welcome in this restaurant. The food was good and tasty, but the service was really lame. In the end we asked for the bill because otherwise we would probably still be sitting...

My wife and I dropped in for lunch around 3 pm. We had no reservation but they were able to seat us - it is late-September when things are a bit quieter. The food was beautifully presented and delicious although the specialty of the ensalada Meson de Andres was a bit on the salty side. The warm salad with a bit of an Asian flair was otherwise original and delicious. We also had the boquerones which were light and perfectly done. The ‘millehojas’ dessert was excellent! We found the service to be attentive, the plating well done and the atmosphere calm...
