Chiringuito Estrella — Restaurant in Vélez-Málaga

During lockdown they have taken a very sensible common sense response. Tables are well spaced and well situated. Staff are energetic and super friendly and given this, the service is exactly what you would expect. I have been twice in lockdown and once before each time I have found the staff personable attentive and helpful. It's an absolute pleasure to say yes I love this place. Now the food. This is a beach bar so bearing that in mind I will continue.

I ordered the volcanic octopus. At the end of it I wanted more and didn't feel I had enough for the price I paid. However it was cooked perfectly and it was fresh. The seafood and pork skewers are fantastic and incredibly generous. The sides are good too I don't think all are made on site but like I said "beach bar".

The setting is well lit both inside and out, great terrace straight onto the promenade and a fun bar inside playing contemporary pop music with some old classics thrown in.

If for nothing else this bar is a must stop at just to enjoy the hospitality you may have been missing at...

Beautiful setting right on the beach front with beautiful views of the ocean. The place truly comes to life at night (after 22 00 if you've been to Spain you know why) when it's dark enough for them to turn on their lights. The food was great and can barely walk. The pictures don't do the food justice. I went with light meals as I was still feeling the affects of stuffing my face for lunch and glad I did as these portions were more than enough to fill me until my flight tomorrow. Great atmosphere and great service. 1 recommendation is to maybe get more help for the busy nights as I saw both waitresses literally running around so they may be a bit over worked.. Both did keep their smiles and composure so well done to them. Definitely a place worth a visit. Can be quite a romantic setting if you...

I really do not understand the good reviews. Let’s start with the service. It was slow and unprofessional. Let’s give an example: they first brought out bottles, went back and brought the glasses later. Needles to say they were touching the glasses on the top part. The food was terrible. We ordered the sardines with some fries. The sardines were overcooked (or grilled) and salty. The fries could have had another minute or two in the fryer. We also had a hamburger which had some interesting meat which did not really look like a hamburger patty. So I would say that drinks are Ok here. Food is to be avoided. And prices are decent. (May be the reason for the...
