Restaurante Candeal | Restaurante en Marbella — Restaurant in Marbella

Gem of a find in Marbella. We were a group of 8 well travelled ladies from Singapore on a 10 day golf trip to Marbella. We had wanted to dine at Messina but it was closed for renovations so we stumbled upon Candeal a stone’s throw from our hotel.

It was so good we dined there 3 times, choosing to dine there on our last night in Marbella as a nice way to round off our golf extravaganza.

Everything about the place was excellent- the decor, service from Scott and Damaris, and of course the food from chef Pablo was incredible- everything from the amuse bouche, starters, the mains right down to the desserts and the wines paired by Scott who’s a sommelier, everything was excellent.

On our first night, we ordered cautiously. The second night we were receptive to Scott’s food and wine recommendations and were wowed. By the last night we simply left everything to Scott and it was our best meal of our trip.

Do yourself a favour and dine there. It’s only a matter of time before it gets its star. I would return in a heartbeat next time I’m...

Candeal is truly a hidden gem in Marbella! From the moment we stepped inside, I was captivated by the tasteful atmosphere with neutral tones that create a cozy yet high-class dining experience.

We opted for the 9-course degustation menu, and it was nothing short of exceptional. Each dish was a beautiful testament to the chef's passion for cooking, showcasing an array of exquisite flavors crafted with love and using top-quality Spanish products from Northern Spain. Every bite was a delightful surprise!

The host was incredibly welcoming and attentive, making us feel right at home. Their genuine hospitality added to the overall experience, making our evening even more special.

Considering the high-end quality of the food and service, I was amazed at how affordable the prices were. For me, Candeal is hands down the best restaurant in Marbella, and I can't wait to return for another memorable meal. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and visit this...

Candeal in Marbella’s Old Town is a true find, just off the bustling Plaza de los Naranjos. It’s tucked away on a quiet street with a cozy, neighborhood vibe.

Chef Pablo Rebollo’s truffle cauliflower is a dish that really stands out. The different textures and the earthy truffle flavor show the care and thought that went into it. It’s a simple dish done exceptionally well.

The tuna cheeks were another highlight—marinated for 72 hours and cooked like beef. The result was tender, with a rich flavor that was surprising.
