The food and wine in Marbella was incredible. Restaurants of every description lined the Paseo and many beach bars opened for the season while we were there. The old town had several restaurants which served delicious food of a very high quality. In Spain the locals traditionally eat their large meal at lunchtime between 1 and 4 and then have a smaller meal later in the evening after 7PM. We did not get into this habit and we would enjoy a smaller meal for lunch which would often consist of the delicious tapas Spain is so well known for. Sometimes we would sit on our deck with some local cheese, meat and foie gras and of course wine and enjoy the view while we had our own private lunch. Dinner however was always out and did not disappoint. The plating of food was always well done and the flavours a treat. A couple of restaurants became favourites and drew us back a few times. Was lovely to sit outside, sometimes beside a heater, and watch the activity while enjoying a fine meal. Only Casa Eladio which is a Michelin restaurant was a totally indoor dining experience.
