El Mesón de Calahonda — Restaurant in Mijas

Coming back here every year is a treat.

I would recommend making reservations. We did not have a reservation in this case, but were advised to have a drink at the café next door before going to the table after about half an hour.

The service is super friendly and knowledgeable. Carol was a perfect host and the other ladies in a word: fantastic.

A wine list that is not too extensive, but has a huge number of delicious choices.

We love coming back every year and preferably for the whole week.

We will definitely be back next trip! I highly recommend you go sit outside here and enjoy the atmosphere, the lovely restaurant and food, and...

The bill was high because we'd chosen an expensive...
