Eva Recommends….La Red, Marbella
This is now one of my all time favourite restaurants in Marbella! You will find this lovely restaurant right on the beach in the exclusive area of Playa de La Fontanilla, Marbella town. With room for 120 diners, La Red is a great choice for families, groups and couples. With their own private beach and sun loungers, guests can relax and soak up the rays before stepping into the open air restaurant for some very tasty dishes.
The Food
As this restaurant in set right next to the beach, it’s only natural that its speciality is fresh seafood, however they do have meat and veggie dishes on the menu too. Cooked on a vintage boat on the sand only a few meters away, it was charming to see all the fish and meats being grilled to perfection with the waves lapping the shore in the background. La Red’s starter menu tickles your taste buds with dishes like Spicy Pil-Pil Shrimps and Octopus Galician Style, accompanied by a basket of warm, crusty bread. The main courses are of very good size, well presented and extremely tasty! There really is something for everyone with dishes like Sea-Bass in Champagne, Grilled chicken breast, and Vegetable Paella. If you have any room left after your meal they offer a nice choice of desserts too.
The Service
We were all very impressed by the service at La Red. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming but not over the top. Our food and drinks were brought to the table promptly and with a smile. The waiter spoke very good English, and amused our table by letting us try out our Spanish skills with him. Everything was presented nicely, and we felt we were welcome to stay there and enjoy our night without rushing off afterwards. Every member of staff we saw there was wearing a smile, and the service was top notch.
Décor & Atmosphere
Not sure we could ask for a better atmosphere. The view from the tables is so calm and beautiful with the waves rolling in and out and the sun setting slowly over the water making the sand look extra golden, it’s a perfect spot for a memorable meal in Marbella. The surroundings together with the atmosphere make it a fun and chilled place for all the family to enjoy day or night.
The Price
The prices were very reasonable, and everything was so nicely done it was worth every last penny plus a good tip. For the high quality food we did expect to pay higher especially as we were eating on the beach in Marbella, but surprisingly everything was very fairly priced. The portion sizes, and quality of service left us very satisfied and we will definitely go back again.
