Carob Bar — Restaurant in Mijas

So disappointing went yesterday 29th. The welcome was good but the place was freezing. Double doors open to the elements. 3 fan heaters could not cope. Everyone sat in coats and cardigans to eat their meal. It was so dark we had to use our phone torch to read the menu. 2 spinich starters were served still frozen.

The meal itself was a good portion the roast potatoes tasted like they were rewarmed but sadly the place was so cold our meals were cold before we could finish eating.

Today I went to the beach in benalmadena sat sun bathing flicking through facebook and up popped a post about the carob bar and I'm so happy it did , what a beautiful little place ,I went with my parents we all chose menu del dia which turned out to be the best menu del dia I've had so far in spain ,I had the chicken spring roll with sweet chilli sauce for starter delicious, followed by ham egg and chips when I tell you the ham was amazing a very tasty free range egg and proper home made chips it seriously hit the spot for me and then the lovely server recommended the chocolate cake it lived up to the hype rich gooey chocolate heaven .

I cannot reccomend this...

From Local Bar to Must-Visit Gem

Just four months ago, the Carob Bar was a humble local spot—but thanks to Karen and Stuart, it’s now the go-to place to meet, mingle, and celebrate. Their infectious energy and warm hospitality have created a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere that instantly makes you feel at home.

I’ve had the pleasure of sampling their delicious homemade dishes—each one bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. And of course, I’ve enjoyed more than a few drinks from the bar, all served with flair. But it’s Karen’s cocktails that truly steal the show.

Huge thanks to Karen and Stuart for transforming the Carob Bar into something truly special. You’ve created more than just a bar—you’ve built...
