RESTAURANTS

We have put together a carefully curated list of our favourite restaurants in the area.​

Tapas
Frances, (Cortijo El Aguilon, Luxury Beach Villa Tarifa)

BAR EL FRANCÉS

The best tapas in Tarifa! The quality of food is exceptional. The menu is always changing, and you can expect to find traditional Spanish dishes with a twist. It can get quite busy in the evenings and you can't reserve, so we recommend going there at lunchtime for tapas.

Anca Curro Tarifa

BAR ANCA CURRO      ·   closed on Sundays  ·

A tiny, charming tapas bar in the heart of Tarifa old town. It's only open in the evenings, and the ambience is loud and fast paced! A favourite among locals, the food is delicious, simple, and authentically Andalusian. (Don't expect smiles or friendly service, it's the local way!). No reservations, best for couples or small groups. Open 19.30 - 01.00

Fish Restaurants
Cocedero Varadero

EL COCEDERO DEL VARADERO

An excellent seafood restaurant by the harbour in Tarifa. Paper table cloths, plastic chairs, and some of the freshest seafood in town. The atmosphere is very authentic - the locals stand and chat in front of the fish counter at midday drinking cañas.

*Recommend: the seafood rice dishes

LAS REJAS - Bolonia

 

Just a few minutes' drive from El Aguilon, this superb, family run fish restaurant is a an old favourite. Sadly there isn't a sea view, but it makes no difference if you go in the evening.

Campero, (Cortijo El Aguilon, Luxury Beach Villa Tarifa)

EL CAMPERO

Without a doubt, the best fish restaurant in the area, El Campero combines tradition and modernity. An unexpected location in an urbanization, but people drive for miles around to El Campero where bluefin tuna is the star! A little pricey but 100% worth a visit during your stay.

A laid-back beach bar on Bolonia beach with fantastic views and great mojitos. The waiters are friendly, and they often have live-music. It's the perfect spot to watch the sun go down.

SERENADE

Scruffy little beach bar at the far left end of Bolonia. The windsurfers go onto the beach from here, so there's a fun atmosphere. Food is the usual beach bar fare and music can be rather loud, but great place to watch the action and good for families.

BIBO

Marbella meets Tarifa. 3 Michelin starred chef Dani Garcia set up this beach bar a few years ago. Terrific contemporary menu, stylish design, but a little over priced. It does get very mixed reviews, but a lot of our guests absolutely love it! Their parking is a huge plus in the summer months. You do need to book ahead.

TUMBAO

Tarifa is home to the famous TUMBAO beach bar with mojitos, music, and models. It's hugely popular among the surfers and can get very crowded. In the early evening they really turn up the volume - great fun if a party is what you're looking for!

EL JARDÍN​ del Punta Sur

Relaxed, atmospheric dining served in beautiful gardens. In the evenings the garden transforms into a candlelit restaurant, with tables set among palm trees with peacocks roaming free. Great for families. Only worth going in the summer months, as the interior restaurant lacks charm.

Meat Restauran

VENTORILLO EL NENE​     ·   closed on Tues & Wed  ·

A short drive from El Aguilon, El Nene is the best meat restaurant in the area. If a local, authentic Andalusian restaurant is what you're looking for, this is the place for you! Family owned, they raise all of their own meat and grow a lot of their own vegetables. Open 9am - midnight

A little further afield, in the town of Vejer, you'll find this fabulous Moroccan restaurant. Set in a charming courtyard in the middle of the historic centre, El Jardín del Califa is definitely worth visiting. Combine it with an early-evening walk around the trendy little shops in the old town, before having a drink in the main square.
