| Restaurante Pueblo Lopez
(Pueblo Lopez)
This is one of Fuengirola’s best kept secrets.
It is in the Pueblo Lopez neighbourhood, less than five minutes
walk from the train station and the town centre and yet it is tucked
away in a tiny, tranquil cobbled square. It is owned and run by
a Dutch/Swedish family, who have built up an excellent reputation
over more than 20 years and many of the clientele have been customers
since it first opened. Choose from a la carte or the menu of the
day, but the grilled salmon comes very highly recommended. The prices
are very reasonable for superb food - excellent value for money
and definitely one of the nicest settings in Fuengirola. Dine outside
on the cobbled courtyard in the warm evenings.
Tip: Well worth dining here during the week of the
Fuengirola Feria (6 – 12 October) as they decorate the square
for the feria and they follow the tradition of inviting the horses
into the square to drink from the fountain, while the riders –
in full flamenco regalia – come in and have a drink at the
bar.
Opening hours:
Evenings only, from 19:00 Closed on Sunday
Closes for vacation mid December to end of January

Cafeteria/Restaurante Casa Gómez (Fuengirola Centre)
For breakfast, lunch or dinner, this newly refurbished
version of Casa Gomez is fast becoming one of Fuengirola’s
hot spots and important meeting places. Its very central situation,
between the bus station and the train station, makes it the ideal
venue for any time of the day or evening. The decoration is stylish,
without losing the quintessential Andalucian atmosphere.
Around mid-morning it is buzzing with local office
and bank workers stopping for a coffee and breakfast. The service
is always fast and friendly, the price is very reasonable, and it
has excellent coffee. The superb menu of the day is around 9 euros
and the food is fresh and tasty. The new, shiny kitchen is visible
from the bar. They serve home-cooked soups, excellent stews, chicken,
rabbit, and home-made deserts.
Open 08:00 till late.

Café Fresco (one in
Fuengirola Centre – one in Los Boliches)
For wonderful organic snacks and meals, this centrally
located café is a perfect place to meet friends for a cappuccino
or a caffe latte. They have just about the best choice of imaginative
salads on the coast. From a sesame seed bagel to a Thai chicken
salad wrap or a mini baguette with chicken and pesto, the menu is
as mouth-watering as it is extensive. They also do a different fresh
juices and a soup of the day, as well as dangerously delicious home-made
carrot cake. Fresco is a very popular place for breakfast and lunch.
It is a particularly friendly café, with an English owner
and staff. They use home-grown organic produce and sell some products
of their home grown produce, such as homemade mustard, jams and
marmalades. At certain times of year, you can even buy growing potted
herbs and tomatoes.

many working people stopping off for breakfast or lunch, to lawyers
with their clients having coffee or drinks with tapas. When a wedding

and groom on the steps of the church and all the guests milling
around.
The menu of the day is always excellent and extremely
good value for money at around 8 euros. The home-made lentil stew
is a popular specialty, as are the wonderful home-made sweets. During
the summer months, the home-made gazpacho is served in a tall glass
