Nerja Today

Eating Out

There is certainly no shortage of 'eateries' - of every conceivable type - in Nerja so you should have no problem finding somewhere suitable.

The Spanish are very family oriented and so the vast majority of restaurants are what you would describe as 'children friendly'.

BARS AND RESTAURANTS

The Spanish tend to eat lunch between 1:00 and 3:00pm and dinner between 6:00 and 10:00pm, even later during the hot summer months. 

BREAKFAST: There are numerous bars and restaurants offering Full English Breakfast - including some Spanish bars now - and you should expect to pay between €4 and €7 per person.

The Speakeasy on Calle Málaga is probably the best in town.

Or you can have breakfast Spanish style in numerous bars and cafeterias. A coffee and a media Catalana (toasted bread roll with either butter (mantequilla ) or olive oil (aceite ), tomato and a decent helping of serrano ham) will set you back roughly €2 - €3. And it's delicious. The choices are endless, really, you can select whatever you want and it's not expensive. A coffee on its own (best in a glass or vaso ) is normally €0.90 for a small one (pequeño ) or €1 or €1.20 for a large one (grande or doble ). Frequenting local cafeterias/bars on a regular basis may well result in paying less than is quoted on the menu/price list! Try the Nerja Cafeteria on Calle San Miguel, large rolls and great value for money.

TAPAS: Traditional snacks served with drinks and included in the price of the drink in most Spanish bars. Expect to pay roughly €1.00 - €1.50 for your beer/wine and tapa.

NERJA TAPAS GUIDE

Most restaurant menus tend to be in several languages or, in some cases, with pictures of the various dishes. The 'house' wine (vino de la casa ) is generally good quality plonk.
