Cortes Cafe — Restaurant in Marbella

We stopped here for brunch. We both wanted either a plain crossiant or with ham & cheese. We were told they had sold out. I was offered a toasted ham/ cheese sandwich, they couldn't do that either. We both ordered a cream cheese and salmon 🥯 bagel with red onion, pickle and capers. Salmon isn't my favourite sea food. I had a apple 🍏 juice, a cup of hot water (brought my own teabags). My husband has a cafe solo and a natural orange juice.

We were served our drinks and food, then we saw crossiants coming from the kitchen, not one, but three. I thought this strange, we were told they had finished. We were both annoyed, the waiter spoke English, but my husband speaks Spanish, I fail to see how either person didn't understand or communicate appropriately. We asked twice and was told twice no crossiants. Maybe they had a delivery, but in the space of us ordering and them bringing our order, other customers were being served crossiants. Hence the 3 ⭐.

We are going to go back, to see if we can have a croissant 🥐.

We went back the following day and a croissant 🥐, but it appears they have everything brought in, hence maybe the running out of food at short notice. They say open at 9.30am, but when we went staff was getting the tables and chairs ready, they said 10am. The following day we went at 10am, the staff were outside smoking, we asked if they were open and a woman shook her head, whilst smoking. We went...

Unfortunately, our experience at Cortes Café was quite disappointing. I ordered the Tom’s Awarded Double Burger, but it turned out to be one of the worst burgers I’ve ever had, the taste was bad, the sauce was unpleasant and poorly made, and even the bun felt off. My girlfriend ordered a selection of tapas, which were clearly old and just reheated, lacking any freshness or proper flavor.

We also ordered iced tea, expecting a standard version, but were served a strange “natural” one that tasted really off. To make matters worse, the waitress wasn’t particularly friendly or welcoming.

The only slightly positive thing we can mention is the location, it’s situated in a nice spot in the Old Town. However, even that isn’t enough to recommend this place, especially considering how many better options are just around the corner.

We usually check reviews before choosing where to eat, but this time we made a mistake by sitting down without checking, and quickly realized that the poor rating is absolutely justified. Don’t make the same mistake,...

A little overrated to be honest. My Husbands chicken burger and chips was a very small portion. His burger also didn’t look like it was cooked well. He did not enjoy his food at all. I had a pizza, can’t complain, tasted good to be honest but the Parmesan on the pizza was too much and made the taste overbearing. So I had to scrap it off. Waiters seemed like they were daydreaming and weren’t listening when we were ordering, even though they understand and spoke good English. Maybe it was having to stand out in the sun , I don’t know. My husband asked for coke cola but the waiter brought forks and knives instead 😂 . The waitress who took my order walked off and didn’t take my husbands food order. So we had to chase her to order his food too. My son was still sleeping so I wanted to take a way two slices of my pizza for when he wakes up. The waiter said okay and forgot. I had to ask someone else and then they took my pizza and only put one slice in the take away box. I was confused why but didn’t say anything. It wasn’t...
