Yesterday Victor Garvey gave a really interesting interview to Hannah Murray on Talk Radio Europe all about his culinary background and what he is trying to achieve with his new project Huerto. Great insights into what the restaurant will be all about and his philosophy...

We were lucky enough to get a sneak peak inside Huerto before the doors officially open to try some of their food and we were totally blown away by what this talented team have achieved.
This is food like you will never have experienced it before, blending flavours and textures which you would never think of putting together and creating something totally exquisite. You really need to try this food to believe it and it should be top of the list for any foodie on the Costa del Sol.
All the food reflected the ethos of the restaurant which is to apply the low food-miles concept, selecting the very best, fresh, local produce to create imaginative and surprising dishes. They have found the best local producers, farmers and fishermen and want to showcase their fantastic produce in modern dishes which offer a powerful and intoxicating blend of flavours.
The Menu
It was fantastic to be given a taster menu of dishes which you may have never selected on an a la carte menu but which will surprise you and delight all your senses. We were presented with four courses of the most extraordinary food which was said to be the “best food I have ever eaten in Spain” by the food critic on our table and I certainly agree.
The owners of Huerto, the newest and most exciting restaurant in Puerto Banus want to find out. Tell us what your favourite piece of local produce is and why and you’ll be entered into a competition to win a coveted place at the restaurant’s soft...

Shaw Marketing Services is delighted to welcome our new client Huerto Restaurant, Puerto Banus. Located on the corner of the Playas del Duque building, where Armani Home used to be, this funky new fine dining restaurant is set to open mid to late June.
Look out for the soft opening special offers and the red carpet official launch event to be announced on this blog shortly. We are very much looking forward to working with this new restaurant, as it’s about time Puerto Banus had a restaurant to be proud of.
Huerto’s Concept
Huerto is run by a passionate team from some of the world’s best restaurants. Thanks to this experience and the ambition of the head chef Victor Garvey, Huerto aims to raise the standards of dining in Puerto Banus and offer customers an unforgettable fine dining experience, but without the formalities.
If you are looking for an authentic Italian meal in the heart of Marbella Old Town, this is definitely one to try. Il Tartufo is a little gem, with room for just 30 or so covers. It’s run by a friendly couple, with a cosy atmosphere, the service is second to none and the food is really excellent.
Location – This restaurant is in Marbella’s charming Old Town, close to the main road. Cross over from the Parque Alameda main crossing (by the big fountain) turn right and walk down to another fountain with a horse in it. Turn left into the Old Town here and take the very first right, by the cafe, walk down this little street and it’s about half way down. If you get to Maverick Irish pub you’ve gone too far.
The Food – We were very impressed by the quality of food here, with everything cooked to perfection and high quality, specialist produce flown over from Italy. The chef is Italian and passionate about his cuisine and I’d say it would be hard to find a more authentic Italian restaurant in this area.
This little tapas place is our new favourite place to go and have never let us down for great service, interesting and delicious food, good wine, a lovely wine bar vibe and good prices. I’d definitely recommend it for an evening with friends.
The location– Just behind the big Zara on Ricardo Soriano, one street down towards the sea c/ Ramón Gomez de la Serna 4, Marbella. If you’re looking at Zara go to the right, down the road towards the sea and take your first left by a bar called lekune. Divina Tapa is the third place you come to.
The Beach House is a beautiful restaurant right on the beach in Elviria which makes a really special place to have lunch or dinner. We’ve been here a number of times now for Valentine’s Day, Birthdays and special occasions and have never been disappointed by the food, atmosphere and service. Here’s my low-down of the place:
I love Japanese food, particularly sushi and have been delighted to see more Japanese restaurants popping up on the Costa del Sol. However, for me most of the restaurants here are prohibitively expensive and feel like a real rip-off so I don’t like to go there. A few months ago we were recommended Kyoto Japanese Restaurant in central Marbella by a friend and we haven’t looked back since. The food is fantastic and the prices are very reasonable for sushi, so it’s well worth a try. One thing you have to be prepared for though is a total lack of atmosphere as it’s normally empty and pretty ropey service, but in my opinion the food more than makes up for it.

Gorki Marbella is just down the road from where we live and we think it’s a lovely place to have a good glass of wine in a refined wine bar atmosphere. They have an excellent selection of wines at reasonable prices and delicious food as well. This is a chain with other wine bars in Malaga, Seville, Cordoba and Madrid. Interestingly it started life as a deli offering people the option to sample the produce and they still have a deli part of the bar where you can buy some of the things on offer.

If you’re bored of always ordering the same things and would like to widen your tapas horizons, I can recommend the busy and fun Taberna del Pintxo. As well as serving traditional cold tapas at the bar, in the evening from around 9pm they start to bring round trays of delicious nibbles for you to try. Tapas is charged by counting the cocktail sticks at the end of the evening, each type of cocktail stick being worth a different amount. It’s a lovely way to eat and the place has a great atmosphere too.
Here’s the lowdown:
