Sollun — Restaurant in Nerja

Very average experience. Perhaps the bar had been set too high following an exceptional meal the previous night at Restaurant Oliva but it got off to a disappointing start. As another reviewer below also experienced, the female waitress has absolutely no people skills and gives off the vibe that she doesn’t want to be there. The sommelier on the other hand has so much passion and knowledge and selects very interesting wines. We sat for a good 5 minutes without a menu, it’s basic service that a menu is the first thing you give someone as soon as they sit down, even though we knew we wanted the tasting menu. It all felt too slow to begin with that left a bitter taste in my mouth for the rest of the night. It took 30 minutes before we seen the ‘snack’, thankfully food came a little quicker after that! The pork cheek was fantastic, and we really enjoyed the dessert, starters were also good but the fish course was very bland. Overall the food was good not great and certainly not a patch on our previous nights experience. Lastly I felt the restaurant lacked a bit of atmosphere, I can’t put my finger on exactly what it was. Maybe I would return in the future to give it a second chance but I won’t be...

My sister booked a table for us at Sollun. It was our first time there. The staff were super nice and friendly, they’re good with kids too. We looked through the menu and our waiter was more than helpful suggesting dishes and explaining everything. First the amuse-bouche was cream cheese cones with mackerel and crispy onion. The presentation as well as the taste were amazing. Later for our appetizers, we ordered beef tartare and scallops. They divided it into four portions for us (we were four). My sister ordered the pigeon in orange glaze something and she absolutely loved it. As for me and her kids, we all ordered the steak. Again the kids shared a dish, but the chef prepared it seoerately as of it was a single order, cutting the steak in half with all the garnish and sides. My steak was cooked to perfection! The chefs comes in with the staff to hand the dishes himself and to give mini explanations. For dessert we ordered the Lemon meringue dish, which is similar to deconstructed lemon pie, and the passion fruit one! Both were amazing, specially the passion fruit one! Definitely recommending it to friends and hopefully will be back there soon on my next...

There where 2 tasting meny served and each had its complementary wine package you could optionalIy choose. I ordered the larger tasting meny with wine package. The food was ok but not more than that. None of the dishes served made me feel wow. I expected more, since the pricing is high. The wine package was better but since I usually dont drink white wine, my experience is probably different from someone that enjoys white wine. There was at least 2 red wine and a sherry served that was extraordinary. I was very impressed of the sommelier. With his knowledge, he made the visit alot more interesting. He stayed at each table and explained the wine served thoroughly. In overall, I found the wine package more interesting than the tasting meny. I would have give 4 stars since the sommeliers performance was excellent but at the same time, the food performance has...
