Opinions about Salobreña Restaurants
Though pricey, worth it
Restautant Bahia is a great spot by the sea with options for both sit-down lunches and quick tapas. The food is delicious and generously portioned, with beautiful beach views. Though a bit pricey, the quality makes it worth it. Overall, a good dining experience.
It’s not what it used to be
El Peñón restaurant has a great location and offers a lot of food choices, though it’s not what it used to be. The service can feel impersonal, and they were out of sardines when we visited. Still, the views are amazing. We enjoyed the generous portions of vegetarian dishes and the wine.
Great spot for sunset
I visited Casa Emilio restaurant during the Virgen de la Antigua festival. It’s a great spot for sunset and house wine. Despite the busy period, the staff warmly welcomed us and provided good service. We enjoyed sitting outside with a glass of wine while watching octopus roast over a wood fire. The starter of melon with cured ham was excellent, and my husband loved his whole roasted sea bass.
