Marabierta is a great addition for fine dining in San Pedro and a most enjoyable evening, peppered with highs and lows, but definitely one to be repeated over and over! The extensive menu has many old favourites and staples in, but includes some interesting, and innovative dishes such as the cheese croquette starter that was presented looking like toffy apples, others had the fish soup inappropriately named ‘reused’ and a goat’s cheese salad.

For mains, Beef sirloin, Lamb chops, and a Sea Bream in salt. In presentation, flavour, texture, and quantity, every single dish was faultless.

• La Gula by Paladar

Dishes that are simple to make, well designed, with some creative touches and very tasty.

We were already surprised by the quantity and quality of the Bodegón “Paladar” on Avenida del Mar, 13, just behind the Sala “Taok” and opposite what was always “Lepanto”.

But now, and with the same brand, we are also surprised by “Gula” which is already the trendy place in Marbella, on the ground floor of the Hotel Baviera, on Avenida del Calvario almost on the corner with Ricardo Soriano.

It does so with hearty dishes and an exquisite variety where various cooking styles are mixed to offer some delicacies that are paired with a good red wine, with some excellent whites and served by attentive and very professional staff. The best formula for success. And “Gula” triumphs every day.

The Cubans David and his brother, that excellent chef of “Paladar” who is Emilio Iznaga Corzo together with his partner Victor, are doing very well.
