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

For mains, try the beef sirloin, lamb chops, and sea bream in salt. In presentation, flavour, texture, and quantity, every single dish was faultless.

Address: Av. de los Ángeles, 197, 29670 Marbella, Spain

• La Gula by Paladar

Simple to make, well-designed, with creative touches, and very tasty dishes.

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, mixing various cooking styles to offer delicacies paired with good red wine, plus excellent whites, served by attentive, highly 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.
