Organic Market & Food Marbella — Restaurant in Marbella

Food was great the first time we went there on 3rd december, that’s why we came back today only to encounter the opposite. We came today for the collagen bone broth soup as the kids loved it last time, but today it didn’t taste the same, it had no chicken taste, only vegetables. But the worst was not the food, as is understandable that it can taste different from one day to another or from chef to chef, the worst was the service, the guy who served us gived us “attitude” from the moment we arrived, it was the worst customer service i have ever encountered, from the moment we sit at the table, he rolled his eyes, probably because our little baby, even they market as a kids friendly restaurant, then never asked us again for anything, i had to make extra efforts to ask for anything, to search for him, then o order to his colleagues or even served myself with spoons from the bar bc nobody came to our table to assist. I asked them to change my soup bc it didn t taste as i knew it shoud , but the service took so long that i ended up not having time to eat anything, i had to take it away bc i had no time to stay longer, then after i asked the soup and one quesadilla to take away we waited extra half an hour with 2 little kids im the car, for one already done soup and one quesadilla!! Honestly the worst service experience of my life and i frequent restaurants every day, this guy’s behaviour was...

20 minutes later after leaving the restaurant I am vomiting - I suspect I have Salmonella.

Visited here today on 16/06 at 17:30. I ordered a chicken burger and after 3 bites realised it tasted a bit “off” - it was raw. It was a visually raw chicken burger patty, it was a glossy pink colour as if straight from the supermarket.

The waiters kindly took it away and asked if I wanted it to be cooked more. I had to tell them that every piece of food could now be contaminated with Salmonella. I asked for some sweet potatoes fries which were nice, but also $11.50 - which is a crazy price for some fries.

Going forward I suggest the kitchen and waiting staff take some courses on food hygiene/contamination. Where I am from this is mandatory.

As the meat for the burger is so thick they should use a thermometer to check if the middle is cooked.

It’s a shame because I really enjoyed the environment of the restaurant and was looking forward to a healthy meal.

I don’t want to discredit the waiting staff, they were friendly and wanted to help me and this is completely out of their control. Although the kitchen team need to know how to provide food safe for consumption of which at they end of the day is a sole purpose and responsibility of a restaurant, especially at an above average price point.

Go for the vegetarian options, I’m sure...

Chef’s Day Off?

That would be the charitable explanation.

It’s hard to imagine anyone with culinary training—or taste buds—was present at Organic Market Café today. The experience felt less like dining and more like being slowly punished for expecting flavor.

We reserved a table for three. It wasn’t necessary. The place had a brief flicker of activity but was mostly empty—something that will likely remain the case until serious changes are made.

Seven dishes. Not a single one memorable for the right reasons. Every plate was a blank canvas—except someone forgot to paint. It wasn’t just under-seasoned. It was as if flavor had been banned altogether. This is food suitable only for institutional settings where the goal is to avoid stimulating anyone.

The coffee was consistently bad. Three cups, three identical disasters: over-boiled, scorched, and carrying the unmistakable taste of neglect.

Dessert tried to mount a rescue. A single chocolate cake was passable. The pecan pie—minus the pecans—felt like a punchline, while the cheesecake drowned in syrupy jam and had no crust to speak of. Barely edible, and only if you’ve already given up on joy.

Unless I’m given a compelling reason—new ownership, a complete reimagining—I won’t be back. The current setup isn’t just flawed; it’s fundamentally...
