La Biznaga (Toboso)
Balcón de Europa
29780 Nerja
Spacious inside, good sized terrace outside and located right on the Balcón de Europa, you couldn’t get more central than that.
A very good selection of tapas and a good place to sit and enjoy the sun.
The tapas are not included with the drink and a beer and a tapa will set you back €2.40 (August 2011).
No idea what the tapas are like. Called in one lunchtime. Terrible, uninterested staff, will need to try harder in these difficult times. No wonder place was dead. Needs a manager who wants to serve customers. Avoid!
I agree with Johnny. They have a prime location so visitors to Nerja find this tapas bar without having to look too hard. Equally, Biznaga receive a steady stream of customers without having to look too hard. I have had tapas in here many times and find the food no worse than other bars in Nerja. The Spanish tend not to use it though. That must mean something!? There are many other tapas bars here that are much better. As for service, I have received both wonderful and terrible. It depends on the mood of the waiter. Considering it’s part of the Toboso Hotel, it could do with a good shake up.
Went there one evening for tapas, and we were looking at what was on offer under the glass on the counter. This seemed to upset the staff who bullied us into sitting down & reading about it on the menu!
The 4 of us were in here last week and we were the only ones (apart from the 2 staff behind the counter) in there despite the plaza outside heaving with people that sunny lunchtime.
Selection of tapas was Euro 1 each dish, the chicken livers in sherry & onions, which was Tapa of the Day was lovely.
We chose sausage in a wine sauce as well as the meatballs in tomato sauce, the latter being one meatball and 4 chips, alioli potatoes, tortilla and squid salad.
No one else came into the bar until we were leaving and even then it was one guy on his own. We saw many people look in, see it was empty & leave.
I’m sure it will pick up in the Summer due to the warmer nights as it didnt appear to open in the evening all the week we were in Nerja.
