El BancoTapas Bar — Restaurant in Marbella

I’ve been wanting to come here for ages so invited a couple of my very good friends as they hadn’t yet ever tried traditional English Sunday roast to give it a try. I reserved a table, which I think is essential on a Sunday as the place filled up quickly. Very laid back and friendly atmosphere and we were made to feel very welcome by everyone. We ordered our drinks and a small tapa of croquettes which were very nice then ordered our roast dishes. Two beef and one lamb shank, both with all the trimmings. All three plates were delicious and perfectly cooked and presented. The vegetables too were “al dente” and were delicious too. They were out of apple crumble which means I’ll have to go back so took a chocolate fondant instead which came with ice cream. All finished off with an Espresso. What a lovely way to spend my Sunday with a gentle walk home to watch the rest of the footy. Thank you, highly...

El Banco, a tapas bar/reataurant, in Aloha urbanizacion. On the corner. We went here because we were going to watch a friendly soccer match of Malaga CF at the Marbella football center, so we were early.

The lady had to ask the kitchen if we could already get something to eat. Happily it was oke. Had a table outside. Nice spot. In the shadow. The lady who served us was very friendly. Had some drinks and orderes tapas, all to share.

The patatas bravas, we asked for the sauce to be served separate. Kitchen forgot. She she said "kitchen forgot. You get an extra portion, with separate sauce. No cost". Very kind! Croquettes, chorizo pil pil, pan con aioli, cheese bread, panko shrimps, etc. Many items of the menu hahaha.

All served in the right tempo. We ordered all in 2 parts.

Nice spot for a drink and tapas. I dont know how it is...

Crazy good!!! This restaurant has a perfect location with a spectacular view. But the people and the food are worth the drive no matter the location. Was greeted by the most charming English guy, that made os feel welcome from we arrived until we left. Food was awesome. Spaghetti with tomato sauce and chicken made my daughter eat more than she ever does. Great burger for the son and some Bravas (that had the "wrong" sauce), and my girlfriend had fried shrimps that topped anything we have had so far. I had the Rib eye with pepper sauce, onion rings and cheasy bread. Steak was SO good, served with some chopped up mushrooms that was amazing. So here is what will happen: Once the family falls a sleep I will drive back and go through the trash and eat whatever leftovers I can find! (it...
