The Bravery Restaurant — Restaurant in Marbella

I don't even know where to start. This place is in a street with no exit so there's some kind of privacy without having a lot of people walking by around you (only those who get lost and have to walk back lol). Environment is very nice and the staff very friendly and professional. The food is amazing and not just the taste of it but the quality itself and the way is cooked, very balanced. I ordered steak (Entrecot) and as a Spanish, of course I ate entrecot tons of times in my life and I have to say this is one of the best I have ever eaten. Gambas al pil-pil where amazing too, they came boiling (the right way to serve it). I'm also celiac and they understand it so let them know and they will take care of you. Celiac safe. Definitely coming back whenever I'm back...

The padron peppers were very tasty, the carne con tomate was grand, the stand out dish for me was the morcilla Burgos which was really tasty and shows that this kitchen can do great food. They need to rethink their drinks pricing as the food is...

It's sometimes the opposite when somewhere advertises themselves as "the best" on their signage, and normally I'd steer clear but the reviews were good, so persuaded everyone to go down an alley, round the corner and into a little dead-end area where the Bravery is situated. I'd recommend it over the more touristy places in the Orange Square that's next door. Plenty of specials which is a good sign - it was my mistake assuming that the specials were all tapas, when in fact they were all main meals. So my 3 specials plus the tapas others ordered off the main menu made for a hearty lunch! We polished it all off washed down with some decent beer and wine. Service was up to...
